DAY OF DIWALI 2008 - A SILVER LINING FOR THE INDIAN MARKETS

In one single day many Indian investors have lost nearly half of their life's savings….and there are no lucky ones left. Those who invested as early as January this year at the peak of the Indian markets, when the BSE SENSEX was at 21,206 pts, these people have seen the value of their investment disappear by a whopping 64 %. Many of them mostly retired professionals had hoped to make money in the stock market and saw it as an investment instrument that would help them through their old age. But young or old, everyone was a lot poorer by the time the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE SENSEX) touched its all-time low on the hot afternoon of 27-10-2008 at 7,697.39 pts  and gave a close at 8,510 down by 191 points, and NIFTY touched low of 2005 at 2,252.75 points. The markets were opened on 28 Oct 2008 on the occasion of DIWALI when the mahurat trading for SAMVAT 2065 began, On this day of 28 Oct 2008 the Diwali gave the markets a bust upwards to an opening of 528 points and closing at 498 points at 9,008. This is perhaps the only silver lining that gave a ray of hope on an auspicious day of Diwali 2008.
