Hi Basant sir,
Do you think we are in a bear market?

Opinions (aur padhne waalon ki) ki koi kami nahin hoti jab Sensex ki baat hoti hain:
corporate earnings at risk which means India might actually be trading at a higher multiple than 13.

Maybe the article where you read it, meant faithful = addicted, glued to the market.

There has been a lot of pain already and markets are about taking the pain with the gain. If you do a simplistic sensex level analysis then we are just in April 2007. So even now with hindsight we are enjoying the benefits of 4 years of bull market.
The trick to making money in the markets is to buy cheap and stocks get cheaper only when the bears are around. Problem is since everything falls 60% and more everything appears cheap on price wise and therefore it is imperative that we evaluate stocks on the basis of financials and whether the EPS would keep rising and how much would the companies be affected by the environement.
I know it sounds easier then it is but that is how money can be made. We need to buy stocks keeping the odds in mind and such a strategy would help in controlling the pain.
The pain cannot be wished away but can always be handled and that is a challenge.

Maybe that is what is meant by " No Pain, No Gain ".
