We ''The People": I also got the ride of Market

I could imagine that there might be some families who may be scaring their children to go for sleeps otherwise market will open and will hurt them badly. Ooh, yes, small innocent babies of this world should not be scared of any ghost’s nightmare. Of course, they will not be scared of those traditional flavored, artificial stories of ghosts when modern story of market threat is so overwhelming on all of us. Things have really changed now and the market threat left everyone scared including small and innocent babies.

Recently, I was caught in a comical incident when I felt speechless to respond to one of sweet baby girl who was playing around me. When I shouted at her when she was making noise and unsettling my attention from watching business news; she smartly intervened me for her right to play and make noise of her will. She retaliated furiously and asked me to stop making noise. I was surprised, for what she is blaming me; I am not the one who is making lousy noise; I was just watching TV without harming anyone peace. She mentioned of being cheesed off with the TV and wanted to turn it off immediately. She pointed at TV, these people in TV is harming my peace; this lady who is holding mike is shouting hard, she is getting crazy. I tried to convince her that the lady with mike is giving breaking news on the market risk. From that day that little baby hates the entire lady in TV who is with mike because she felt that they are shouting something relating to market risk.

She told me to tell Mr. Obama one thing is missing in his budget – “Ban all those ladies who is holding mike in TV, they harm my peace, they keep reporting about market threat”.

Market has no barriers, it has no boundaries, and it impacts all continents across the globe. There are some of the questions which I want to pose to unravel the secrets of tumbling of markets.

Winter could not save the heat of burn in stock market. All of those who burned their hands in stock market this winter had no hope for coming summer too. Will summer give more burn and scar? Who knows; nobody knows.

Market was in complete turmoil last year and nobody knows where the bottom is for next year. All investor gurus who proclaimed to be the master of multiplying money and changing the fate of people in one sleep remained silent and helpless. All of those people who claimed to be expert in market show have now realized of becoming victim of the rumor of the good and deceptive market.

Market is complex and it has unpredictable pattern of performance with plenty swings of highs and lows. It is not possible for normal people to understand it well unless they are specially trained for. I felt its complexity; I found it very difficult to comprehend the complex market terms despite of having education in the field of finance.

Blind Faith – Money in market was never safe. Everything is exposed to market risks. There was a time when traditional investments in land and building were considered to be the safest of all giving more return and with virtually no risk of loss. But things have changed now; modern market risk is exposed to all types of investments. You may not lose the ownership of land and building but you can lose value of building even if it costs you more to get the bricks structured.

Let’s guess, what could be the safest to keep our money safe. We may need to turn back to our ancestral way of preserving money. There is the way to safety, may not be a wise way, but still so far, seems better in current situation, when the market of modern era is performing so mysteriously; the safest way is to have money in cookie jar.

What guides people to market? It is true that earning money in the market is guided with the motive of getting rich faster in a furious way by absorbing more risks. Everybody is not born Warren Buffet. Only big investors and entrepreneur can some what absorb the risks of market while common people can’t. Those who make money often lose money due to associated risks.

Who is the owner of the market? Nobody owns market. Investment bankers who acted as an owner of the function of stock market has bended their knees for their careless mistakes and frauds. Most of the sophisticated financial instrument which solicited the entire world economy is tagged as unwise issue and reckless monitoring of the benefit it provides.

Is market safe? Market by definition, is not a safe investing platform; it is the function of confidence of all of those who participate in market. When good cause of market was so engaging that it barred people from thinking of its bad cause. There is a need to have proper monitoring for both good and bad cause of market.

Market put the Whammy on entire world economy!! It was completely unbelievable performance in market in past few years when even unknown stocks was gaining ride of the stock rally. All was into profit. All poor stock was into limelight. People invest into all types of stock and do not bother to care of companies’ financial positions but invest for the whammy to happen as it was happening well.

Bonuses for the rise? Market performance is often deceptive in short run; it may not be guarantee long term goodness. Most of the executive bonuses are tied up with the performance they put in the market board. If there is bonus for the rise in the market, it may not be a fair way of measuring performance because, market could not rise beyond certain level unless justified. It may give rise to malpractices, manipulation and misrepresentation in order to make company look good in the market board, which may be just for short term goodness. Management should have strategic plan for the long term which should be the ultimate concern for investors.

Is there real growth in the market? Balanced growth is real growth and is good growth for the economy. It controls inflation, brings employment, increases demand and drives the economy to prosperity.

Sudden rise and fall is the effect of roller coaster ride which is the fun for the moment but not for the bliss we need for ever. Policy makers and market watch dogs’ needs to put control on the various monitoring techniques to give the break to the greed if it is too much gain in short term from market.
