Stock Markets in Jun to Dec 2010 period
There has been a pause in the US stock market climb after a pretty steep 3 month climb. Most small, medium and some large cap companies have almost gone up by 50-100%. I put a very small risk capital in stocks during the Dec2008 to March2009 and no wonder its up by an average of 100% till date in a bag of 6 stocks mostly Indian and Chinese companies. But I also had Apple in it which has gone up by more than 50% since. But the question is ..... where will the markets go from here. And how much! Analysts are split, as always. But I came out with this take......that markets will generally hand a 75-100% return in about 12-18 months if you selectively pick small, growth Asian stocks. Some of these would be HDB, CHL, JASO, RS and ACH. Just for reference sake, as of 19th Jun 2009 Dow is in the 8530s and S&P at 921 and Nasdaq 1820s.
