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.
Aren’t Indian PSU Banks in the same boat…?
