americans only form of investment is homes.If that goes down so does the american economy.Its not possible to quantify the amount but real estate value would run to trillions.Its not possible to quantify because we dont know the extend of devaluation in property.If its a continous process the loss would be far more substantial than 100 billion.

I read a report which reported the sub-prime loss to be around $350 billion and the "coming-soon" ARM issue at around $1.3 trillion.

Mr. Ravimohan's article is reassuring. After all, stocks should be valued on fundamentals rather than based on available global liquidity. By same token, land and property prices too should see some major correction, as what we have been witnessing is something unsustainable.

Stock goes up not not to fundamentaly it's go up by operating system!! Can you explain why RIL was 90 rs in1999 & now 1800 ??Why Pentamedia was 1600 in 2000 & now 5.5 ???

Stupid guy... comparing RIL with Pentamedia... Sundar is right... it is fundamental... RIL share price has gone up because RIL has invested in a lot of high growth opportunities or business like oil & gas, retail, infrastructure... Whereas, Pentamedia did not have any high growth opportunities and stupid people like you bought the stock just to prop the prices up.. the greater fool theory & IT dot com craze helped Pentamedia...
very interesting piece written Mr Ravimohan. however, an explanation would be nice if the case of fixed income investments. if the market goes in for undue correction in fixed income areas, it is going to unduely affect thousands who are invested in these instruments. is it correct to understand Mr Ravimohan's statement in this manner or there is some other way of looking at the statement. grateful if somebody can explain
FIIs,HNIs are only main culprits for the down falls and upsides in stock markets.since they have huge capital they play whichever they like. Retail investors are the main sufferers of both sides of the markets.
