How Do I Invest Money in the Stock Market?
There are two choices you have while investing in the stock market – active investing and passive investing. In the active style, you pick your own investments and make all the decisions about your money. In the passive style, you simply let your investments mirror a stock index or a collection of stocks selected by a third party.
When you hear the term investing – most people are referring to the former. A lot of people believe that you have to constantly monitor the market and keep on top of all the news about stocks you own. Whats ironic about all this ‘active’ management is that even after all this monitoring the odds are against you to beat the benchmark such as the BSE Sensex Index. If you think this is a lot of work for very little return you can choose the more ‘passive’ style. In this form of investing, you pick an index and buy an ETF that mirrors the returns of the index. All other things being equal, your returns will mirror that of the indexes with very little management or research on your part.

The “Great Risk Shift” – or why it may be time to re-think the developed-/emerging-markets distinction (DEUTSCHE MARKETS)
After defaulting on their external loans during the 1980s, many emerging markets (EM) experienced often severe financial crises during the second half of the 1990s and in the early 2000s.

We propose in this study to analyze the debt structure trends of the institutional sectors of six emerging economies in Asia and the risks related to them.

ASIA STRATEGY: Value buying opportunities emerging
With global economic growth firming – albeit in fits and starts — and monetary conditions likely to remain very loose for an extended period of time, the macro backdrop is, broadly speaking, supportive of healthy equity market conditions. Earnings forecasts are also far from unreasonable, in our view, compared to previous recoveries. All this adds up to a healthy outlook for Asian equities…

GREED & FEAR: Housing and samba (CLSA)
The Greek bullet has been dodged for a while with a suspiciously easy sale of €5bn worth of 10-year Greek bonds last week at a yield of 6.25%. So suspiciously easy in the sense that the Greeks are now reportedly rushing to sell another €10bn worth of Greek bonds. The buyers would seem to be European state related banks adopting a buy and hold strategy…

BANKING: Cherry-picking key to outsized returns (CENTRUM)
We believe a combination of defensive bets within the sector and a strategy that would call for reduction in betas would be stocks to bet heavily on within the Indian financial sector. Banking stocks with lower C/D ratios, adequate capitalization (not exceeding 11% in Tier I) and better resource franchise will likely be better positioned to deliver superior returns….

We expect demand to remain strong in both tanker and bulker segments, given our expectation of 4% global GDP growth in C2010 vs. 1.1% contraction in C2009. Bulker demand will be led by continued growth in Asia, while recovery in OECD nations and increased demand from Asian countries will propel oil demand, in our view….

Why are financial markets not worried about the US fiscal deficit?
The financial markets are not penalising the United States, whose public finances are in a very poor state, while they are penalising many European countries. Can this asymmetry in the way they are treated be explained? − Are the financial markets confident about the capacity of the United States to quickly regain vigorous growth capable of reducing the fiscal deficits?
