Where are we, in India, if this map were ours? Going by our series of pompous prognosticators, most of whom think that stocks are good “value” now and we should be buying after prices have gone this far down – I think we are around point 14.

Meanwhile, don’t ask if this is the right time to invest. It’s not, unless you have a 10 day horizon.
