The basic question is will there be war with Pakistan?

With Pakistan establishment in full trouble and the election ahead, there will be very little preparation for this kind of war with India. One can safely say using the planetary transit and the dasa and bhukthi analysis that there will be no war with Pakistan. Since Jupiter is transiting into the 9th house and Saturn in the 5th house, Pakistan will be a country of sweeping changes. With so many changes where is the time for Taliban’s.

Stock markets- There was a dream run for the markets. Nearly 6000 points went up last year. Can we expect the same? Basically with the 11th lord Jupiter in the 8th house plus the Saturn and kethu conjunct till 2008 June it will be difficult for Sensex to make such a wild leaps.

The volatility will continue. Correction in the market will common. Most of the upside stocks will have 1% - 2% swings. Reliance pack, Tata pack Birla pack will do well. The information technology will be underperformers. Power, infra structures, auto and real estate stocks will do well. Of the top pick for the year from astrologer’s side will be RNRL, SUZLON, DLF, ONGC, JINDAL DRILLING, ABAN OFF SHORE. If you are a long term investors DECCAN, BHARTHI TELE,R COM, WIPRO , TCS will be a good picks.

Sebi will be putting some more norms for the regulation of the market. The in flow of FIIs funds will be average rather than very great. India story is still there with a restrain. Easily the Sensex will cross 6 500 in the first six months.

Oil prices- with the raging war and problems of Saturn with kethu the oil prices will cross over the $100 mark easily. The government will rise the prices for one +IBM- 5 Rs range. Being typically close to elections these issues will be played in wraps.

Rupee value will continue to be strong and can even reach RS.37 for a dollar. Of course the main impact will exporter. All that big talk will not hold much water.

Gold prices will creep up slowly. As usual Diwali and festival time it will go up.

Property prices will have marginal relief with the correction in the market till June 2008. Saturn and kethu will not allow another big rally. Many people can hold the property and in the long run market still looks good. The middle class of dream of having house will get fulfilled easily.

Politics- with karat holding the cards, Relationship will be some what hunky dory till June 2008. Afterwards I want to write separate article. Mr. Advani making statement that government will come down based on Delhi astrologer will be disappointed till June 2008. Manmohan will still be darling for congress.

Tempers will be still controlled in a nice manner. The so called posturing by left plus the Nandi gram issue will be kept in back burner.

IIndian banking sector in terms of loans will have average off cut. The RBI will not meddle much with interest rate even though people will have crying need.
