Any body who is still optimistic that the subprime pain is going to diminish quickly is surely living in a fairy land. For a country that thrives on plastic money, hiding the recession reality is no big deal. No amount of FED rate cuts can salvage US economy out of recession. The fact that ICICI and HDFC are having subprime exposure in tunes of 85 billions rupees under the carpet implies that US has already entered into recession. The magnitude of the crisis is such that it is going to wipe out some of the banks and major financial institutions. Dont get lured by sudden spikes in indexes to enter again. Either book losses or profits, but it is time to exit from markets with whatever you are left in your portfolio immediately. Indian markets will go tailspinning to see the abyssmal depths of 7K to 8K by the end of this year. This catastrophe of 2008 will go down into history as the year of great economic holocaust. Peace and senses will prevail in 2009. Mark my words.

what basics are you talking about? Companies with valuation of tens of billions of dollars don't have revenues in millions prime example Reliance power? Reliance industries Indian Jewel does not even sell it's product in India, so when americans buy lesser oil or come up with new stable electric car - can be 2010 Chevy Volt, or even make new refinaries in US RIL is in trouble beacuse it will loose money for every litre of pertol it sells in India.
Indian market is not based on any basics but on sentiments. They are good as long as it lasts, rest is anybody's guess.

your thinking is baseless...
The electric cars need charging and for that you need electricicy which is from coal/fuel,nuclear and its not free....Also one can not move in US without car so petrol/gas will be always required in US...

RIL makes money by selling gasoline and other petrolium derivatives in North America. Now if North American demand for galosine decreases where will RIL sell it's product.
No one is suggesting gasoline will not bre required come 2010, however there would be a move away from it. Correct electric enrgy will be required and renewable and Nuclear have lead on this. Hardly any electricity is produced by Gasoline, Coal yes Gasoline No.
The issue being discussed was share valution and whether they are based on sentiment or financial prudence. So in case or RIL if there is no market to sell gasoline in there is no reason for it to be worth 15% of indian equity market.

5000 is my guess. world economy is 50 trillion and derivatives are close to 600 trillion dollars.
Most of the economic expansion in the last decade has been created by credit and it is GONE.
Would invest in market again when down to 5,000.
Just to give you an idea..Japan's Nikkie was 40, 000 in 1986 and after 20 years it is 12, 000.
