Sita Mata Liberates Dalal Street, Ends Bears’ Reign Of Terror

Bears slaughtered en masse to pave way for ‘Howdy Modi‘ jamboree

Initially, Nirmala Sitharaman (fondly known as ‘Sita Mata‘ by the novices of Dalal Street), tried to scare the Bears by introducing petty reforms like banning e-cigarettes etc.

However, these were too frivolous to scare the battle-hardened Bears.

They refused to budge and instead mocked her by likening her press conferences to ‘Kumkum Bhagya‘, a TV serial popular with bored housewives.

Aaj me Kumkum Bhagya jarur dekhunga..??

Ultimately, on the eve of NAMO’s ‘Howdy Modi‘ jamboree in the USA (which President Trump will also attend), Sitharaman realized that she is running out of time and has no choice.

She came personally to Dalal Street and unleashed the ‘Brahmasthra‘.

The weapon cost a massive fortune of Rs. 1.74 lakh crore.

However, it did the job in an efficient manner.

The Bears had nowhere to run or hide.

They were slaughtered en masse and their reign of terror on Dalal Street ended finally and in a decisive manner.

NAMO described the reforms as historical and claimed that it will attract private investment from across the globe, improve competitiveness of our private sector, create more jobs and result in a win-win for 130 crore Indians.

The step to cut corporate tax is historic. It will give a great stimulus to #MakeInIndia, attract private investment from across the globe, improve competitiveness of our private sector, create more jobs and result in a win-win for 130 crore Indians. https://t.co/4yNwqyzImE

Eminent Billionaires and captains of Industry also welcomed the move.

Reducing corporate tax rate to 25% is big bang reform. Allows Indian companies to compete with lower tax jurisdictions like the U.S. It signals that our government is committed to economic growth and supports legitimate tax abiding companies.A bold, progressive step forward.

Woke up in the U.S to this news. The best way to start the day. Not only because companies will pay less tax.But because this isn’t just another policy tweak. @nsitharaman fired a shot that will be heard around the world. India has sent an invitation letter to global investors. https://t.co/0zx8efGNha

However, the ‘Brahmasthra‘ took rival politicians like RaGa and other junkyards by surprise.

They were at a loss for words and mumbled incoherently.

Rahul Gandhi clearly does not understand that when the market goes up it helps millions of small investors not just rich businessmen. And, that the value of banks, public sector companies also goes up. This is the people’s money. https://t.co/INN8HWZrQC

Best stocks to buy – FMCG stocks are beneficiaries of rate cut

It is elementary that the reduction in the tax rates will benefit those stocks which are paying high rates of tax.

According to Mangalam Maloo of CNBC TV18, blue-chip MNC stocks like Nestle, ITC, Asian Paints, Colgate, HUL and GSK Consumer are big beneficiaries because they pay tax at rates of up to 35%.

In contrast, companies like Godrej Consumer, Dabur and Emami stay unaffected because they already pay tax at rates ranging from 19-22%.

“The most important benefit from an investment perspective is, while tax cuts across the board are a big positive, FMCG may be first among equals. The high PE Multiple that FMCG sector trades at would imply a higher change in stock price, given incremental growth in EPS. For Example, improvement of EPS by Rs 1 for 20X PE Stock would mean Rs. 20 increase in Stock Price while the same would be higher by Rs. 45 for a stock trading at higher valuations, assuming everything else remains constant,” it is opined.

You missed 1991 and 1997. Don’t miss 2019

The pundits of Dalal Street are understandably in high spirits.

Basant Maheshwari reminded novices that this is not the time to sit on the fence and pontificate.

Instead, we have to dive in head first and go all out.

I was too young to understand 1991; too stupid to capitalise on 1997; this one will just not let it go ! @nsitharaman @narendramodi

Porinju Veliyath claimed that the “Animal Spirits” have been unleashed and that there is now no looking back for the Bulls.

He called it the “beginning of the Great Indian Dream“.

All set to Make in India! Thank you @PMOIndia and @nsitharaman for listening to stakeholders and unleashing the Animal Spirits. This restart marks the beginning of the Great Indian Dream!
PS: Dil mange more on Land, Labour, Logistics, Personal Income Tax (42.7% too much) et al.

Vijay Kedia equated Sitharaman’s reforms with the historic 1991 reforms of PV Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh, which led to the Mother of all Bull Markets.

It really reminds me of 91 reforms.
Hopefully More to come. ? https://t.co/T8BSH7jPnK

However, Shankar Sharma, who has a rabidly anti-NAMO stance, was not much impressed.

He described the Country as “Bananaistan” in a contemptuous manner and downplayed the reforms.

The one thing I've noticed since the 90s in Bananaistan: do something for the poor(eg, any upliftment scheme, midday meal)stock market crashes, experts wail "populism/socialism". Spend the same on benefitting the haves, market shoots up, experts hail"Gamechanging/Progressive".

A lot of people missed yesterday's rally because they sold a lot early due to massive fear. Few imp lessons "Stay invested in good cos for long time. Time in the market is more imp than timing the market. Have faith in India, do your proper research & give it time"
