This week finally saw some upward movement after days and days of the market being bashed to hell. Friday saw some profit-taking and a healthy positive close. While it will take some time to renew total investor confidence ( for those who have any money left ! ) , this is a step in the right direction. There is plenty of space for more upward movement as prices are still very cheap.

The week saw the market sliding even further downwards and lost another 700 odd points since last Friday. The news that the mythical 20 billion rupee fund will start from Monday saw the market rise for the first time since the floor opened. Hopefully there will be some recovery for the coming week. Market timings have been extended to 3.30 p.m. from Monday 5th.
