Diyas, Oil and the Stock Market

Had gone shopping for diyas and oil for Diwali.The high price of oil gave me a minor sticker shock.

A bit of data digging reveals that Solvent Extractors have been the worst performers of the stock market.

Check out the last one years performance (2 Nov 2011-2 Nov 2012):

KSE (-11.29%)

RuchiSoya (-39.27%)

Gokul (-55%)

KSOils(-55.67%)

RajOil (-78.35%)

So just like you can have high realty prices but lousy real estate stock prices, you can have high oil prices but lousy stock prices.
