Is this a Bear market ? i asked to myself and realised its not !!!

Bear market is small remark for this market . Bear market is not so dangerous , the kind of volatility or brutality this market is showing , it should be called as some thing like “Anaconda market” or “Dinosour Market” …

There was a time when stocks were up or down by 20% ,30% , 50% in a year . Today Unitech went down by 50% in 1 trading day . Now bear market is a small thing to handle thsi kind of fall . this is certainely a deadlier market situation . Some of the falls which are worth noting are :

from Dec -> Oct End (24th)

UNITECH : 522 -> 29
IFCI  : 113 -> 16
JAIPRAKASH ASSOCIATES : 500- > 58
TATA STEEL : 925 -> 175
DLF : 1176 -> 200

I am sure there more stocks to note , but i choose these .

What is the point ?

Just to tell people that this bear market is far different than earlier bear markets . Analysts all over the world are saying this is a kind of market they have never seen . read this article

This is a great time to make money out of options trading , at least straddling should give safe returns in these high volatility time . Read what are options ?

Disclaimer : I have myself not made any absolute profits till now with options trading

Is this for Indian Investors ?

No , it is true for anyone across world .. things are same for every country (US , Europe ,India or any other) .
