Hi Deep,
Saw your post just now.
Indicators for that wud mean many. But the indicators that i follow, do not come from the stock prices. Mr. market does not guide us most of the time.
Those indicators that i focus on are about business dynamics.
I M usually a patient person. If i get four ideas a year for my portfolio, that's enough.
Many times, managing directors make silly mistakes. Like diversifying in unrelated fields. Recently a co in castings industry has announced plans to make dry dock with initial capex of 100 cr. Existing capital is ard 3.6 crores.
This is not a good indicator. I am sure, u can find abt that co. And the problem is that they have not yet indicated this to BSE! Fortunately i am no longer holding that share but i know that capital market had recommended it.
Coming to your query: other words is that time now?

Frankly, i have no idea. My plan is to wait for some more downfalls! They may come. Chances are more according to what i have observed from past. And as i said i just need four ideas as i prefer concentrated portfolio. Tho it is very risky to follow this method, it suits my personality.
Best wishes to a insightful fellow TED friend.
JM
