Blow Out Phase In Emerging Equity Markets

Money flows from developed nations like US, UK, Europe is getting invested in fast growing economies like India, China, Taiwan, Singapore, HongKoong, Phillipines, Russia. This flow is very strong and there is almost herd mentality among them to enter these markets in a rush. This is causing extreme inflation in assets of these economies, notably in stocks. This money also is very reluctant to react to any adverse news and under such circumstances, making money at heightened valuations is an extremely challenging task for traders. Best to remain invested in excellent quality companies with excellent free cash flows and strongest of business fundamentals coupled with strong economic link.

Asset Inflation

Due to continous money supply by central banks across major economies, asset prices have reached a point where it looks scary to justify this hightened exhuberance among so called value investors. This continous and extremely fast rise in asset prices is creating an asset bubble, which no body wants to burst, but still fears. The common casualty is layman person, or what economist love to term as Consumer, which bears the brunt of this artificial asset inflation and gets credit at high interest rates to buy that asset! This can't go on for ever, something might topple this top heavy giant from the cliff, what would that be, only time will tell.
