2)Yin-Yang wrote:Why do you guys want the index to go up only?
Ans : Because ,
a) It is the need at this time to boost Investor/Trader confidence
b) ASI is "ALL SHARES". This is about almost everybody winning at CSE . Not only the "me"/"us" for the shares we hold.
c) CSE which is reflected by ASI does not deserve to be trading at PE of 10, PBV 1.2 and Dividend yield of over 3% ( in 2010 it was trading at PE of 26, PBV of 3 etc)
d) we need to get rid of our Fear psychosis and finding negatives always , which is also contributing to make CSE go down
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3) Stated in the article
"Let market positivity build based on FACTS. Not Stupid FEARS and negativity."
I see you"ll still want to talk about Foreign selling, rupee depreciation, political uncertainty etc but
we are still overlooking the facts presented and the Positives of CSE.
Can you please read the article as all of these presumptions have been addressed with Facts.
While you are doing it , can someone please answer why
most markets in ASIA have been up (in average) for last 2 years while some of them having the same negatives mentioned for Sri Lanka.
So why is only CSE down 20% while stats are positive day by day ?
Why is our neighbor India up 40%? )
My friend,
trying to make the Index go up is like trying to buy a Merc Limo to show that you're rich to yourself.
Let the things show their real status and let people live by their means.
If you are not rich enough to afford, the Merc might not make you rich but make you bankrupt.
Only 'manipulators' would try to jack up or pull down the indexes artificially.
+
+

So you want to Jack it up?
Ying Yang,
If you want the index to go down. Let it go down. I cannot control it anyway. Who said I can?
But this is a pretty screwed up way to undermine the effort put here and interpret it wrongly while shooting our own foot.
If you don't like this research/facts presented , best to say nothing than making a demotivating post is it not? If you want to to counter them and prove me wrong, show research facts to counter them.
Market is dead , nobody is posting at forums , everyone is negative , and now you try to demotivate a few who take effort to show facts with research .
I showed facts only here. I can't make market go up. I made this post to show another side with some positivity people don't research or talk about. I saw some people at the forum requesting an update too.
Market has finally started to raise head for few days after continuously falling.
And now further negativity!
Let CSE go to 5000 if that is all of you at this forum too want.
I saw some people in cyberspace at full speed trying to show how bad CSE is.
I always see you go silent and ignore real manipulation attempt which are obvious
to us , but make twisted/screwed up statement as such for the people who keep the forum alive !
This post was not made for my personal benefit but for public info.
I can go silent easily as I have far more crucial things to do.
Have a good day!

Re: Should CSE be like this? Whose FAULT is it?
Central Banks all over the world use this time tested tool(interest rates) either to mop up the excess liquidity or to boost money supply when the economy needs more liquidity. Both of us agree on this matter.
CSE reached its zenith just after the war owing to the expectations of many (both local & foreign) over economic recovery. As you correctly said the market crashed after it was felt it was over valued. Those who were in power missed a Golden Opportunity prevailed after the war for not properly managing the euphoria for the betterment of the country. As this unprecedented Rise & Fall will never be repeated it is not fare to compare it with the current scenario.
I agree with you when you lament over the lethargy of local fund managers, whose hands are tight now after many events of misuse of public funds during the previous regime and the Bond Scam during the current regime. This too contributes negatively to the liquidity of the CSE.
Any way market seems rehashing for another Run after you appeared in the forum. I wish you Good health SLS.

questions and add positively to the discussion!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTEREST RATES VS CSE
Let study the interest rate effect on CSE.
Yes, Interest rates have some effect as mentioned in logical sense.
But I will demo below it is only a minute part of the equation to make
the irrational CSE boom.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Some facts on CB rates to note :
* In 2009 when CSE was in major bull run , 1 year Treasury rates were high as 13%
* by 2010 when CSE was still running in full steam , rates dropped to around 9%
Surprisingly , our current rates ( in July 2018) are around same 9% as in 2010 ! Add to that , much higher cost of living and so much
higher $/imports costs! But ASI is trying to be pushed back to 2010 times !!
* In 2011 , when rates were low as 7% , CSE started its crash!
( Even the interest rate being low , the crash was evident, mainly due to over
valuation of CSE at PE of 26 , PBV of 3+ etc ) .
As we can now see interest rates are only part of what happens at CSE.
I can demo further interest rate effect vs Stock market booms/downs
using USA , but even without it now we can see interest rates are only
one part of the formula to make CSE boom .
I only wish it was direct we can solely pin our Central Bank/Rates
for the mess at CSE.
It evidently goes much beyond! CSE behaves very differently to norms
anyway. This is what I was/am trying to address in this article.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also we need to note that Rs to $ has inflated a lot since 2010.
Cost of living has ballooned in SL.
In a country like Sri Lanka where many people depend on bank/FD interest income ,
CB dropping rates a lot will hurt a lot of them.
Right now am sure many people have lot of issues with rising cost of living and added taxes .
Only relief is the interest income.
So Central Bank has to be careful on that aspect too when they manage rates.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Considering all this , is one more reason why CSE should not be dropping like this and it should serve as additional source of income atleast to let what is of value to reach it value !

My Friend,
You do like research
I do, too like research.
We two have some things in common; even if in opposite sides of the coin.
Here are two simple research for you and me mate.
Research Number-1:
Your beloved CSE index in last 5 years;
https://www.ceicdata.com/datapage/charts/o_sri-lanka_equity-market-index-month-end-cse-all-share?type=area&period=5y&lang=en
Now Research Number-2:
GDP growth in Sri Lanka iin last 5 years;
https://d3fy651gv2fhd3.cloudfront.net/charts/sri-lanka-gdp-growth?embed.png&s=sri+lankagdpqoq&v=201807031547v&d1=20130101&d2=20181231&type=area
This is called Cause and effect my friend.
+
+

Sometimes, roosters might think the sun rises because they are crowing in the morning.
The market is like sun.
We, you and me, are just roosters.
That;s the other thing in common between, you and me.
+
+
+
Roosters!

True ET.
There is nothing to prove as SLS analyses the whole scenario as it is and he is not predicting anything. It is just an objective analysis so there shouldn't be any opinion opposing or in favor of SLS.
May be there are are some investors who are mastered the CSE and find SLS write up useless. But we have to be patient for the sake of thousand of novice investors who hugely benefit from these kind of analyses. So open invitation for all are to share their knowledge for the benefit of all respecting others ideas.

Thanks for the education!
So GDP was the main reason for CSE downfall ?
How about this.
Since I was for a change trying to talk about the positive side of CSE ,
maybe you can list all the negatives of CSE.
Then we can make this post balanced with positives and negatives of CSE.

If i were to come up with any explanations for the same I wouldn't be able to come up with any plausible explanation other than boils down this Languishing and utter chaotic CSE behavior to inter connection between the Share Markets and the capabilities and Confidants Investors could put upon on Politicians( ruling party as well as the Opposition) of their respective countries. Otherwise why only us.
Sadly yes, it not the value that matter to most people at CSE.
Developed markets ( though naturally acting on sentiments at times) , responds more to reason/valuations in medium term. Politics/politicians seems to have a too big of a role in SL investor minds. We are generally of bunch of people who are influenced/brain washed easily even if a lie can be seen in front of our eyes.

But I see you are immune to such and thinking on the right path
When?
Well did you notice the market turned green and now trying to consolidate.
Will negative people and other forces try to break the current consolidation/positivity to bring it down again ? Will other start selling their PE 3-4 shares too?
That maybe the next million $ question now ?
If so more ASI downfall can come.

thank you for valuable thoughts. what I feel is the biggest problem Sri Lanka have is we do not have good local fund managers . May be they all have paper qualifications but go with the tide of traders. They have traders mentality .
A good fund manager can see the market opportunities and reap the benefits later . 20% annual return is more than enough to buy a share. It is not happening as we can see so many beaten down shares remain in the market so many years.. it is not possible in a country with good fund managers are active as a beaten down share is immidiatly picked up by fund managers ,then share price is recovered within a short period of time.
So we should not blame the government, economy or eroding rupee value. These are not the reasons. The main reason is CSE is only for traders , Investors have yet to enter the place..
You have a point reg the Fund managers Malan.

Re: Should CSE be like this? Whose FAULT is it?
But as small-time investors, we can play our part in our own ways by diverting excess cash into CSE.
This is what I had been doing lately.
Whether it helped to change the overall outlook of the market I am not sure but my portfolio looks much healthier now than a few months ago.

Kithsiri, yes we are not high networth or institutional investors.
Some people here asked for an update.
I honored such and took lot of my time to make this post. .
I also felt the need as there maybe many silent other suffering due to constant market falls. My way of thinking maybe different to many.
This post was trying to educate investors about some facts/research/positive
things on CSE which are not discussed in the present sea of negativity.
I tried!

In addition,collected CIND(30) ,HDFC (27), CRL (30) in small quantities.only GRAN(78) & PLC (16.5) shows some relative loss.
But If recall in 2015-2016, I suffered around 30%,-50% losses holding SFL (22) ,BOGA (28),CHOT(30),TYRE(80) etc.. .
This forum made my perspective from a pathetic loser for a patient investor.You have helped me a lot to come out from the woods. Now I know how to surive in storms.
besides I should thank the writers who started following threads which showed me something which my stockbroker would hate to admit,,
1) https://forum.lankaninvestor.com/t10486-dividends-dividends-dividends-what-a-damage
2) https://forum.lankaninvestor.com/t8608-dividend-cash-cows-tales#74919
If CSE dip more , for me no need to panic coz I have 9-10% return giving cash cows which will give more in coming years. I can utilize those dividends for risky trades .If I lose,no heart attacks , still can sleep well.
Hats off for all experienced writers who taught me to be patient like the ants among locusts.
Happy to see your post and you are venturing by your own now without negative influences affecting you.
Also my acknowledgement for taking time to be appreciative to all those who helped.
A trait , many Sri lankans forget.
We flatter, use and discard .
Sometime then we attack the same who helped too after usage.
Then we go again to find the next useful "branch".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This thread so far I see has over 1000 views in only a few days.
Many I see logged onto the forum too.
Many silent readers.
But how may had the courtesy to even take a few seconds to give a
constructive feedback /thought ??
So thank you for the comment SPW.
