A cosmetic surgeon's view of the Indian stock market

Somebody recently told me "There are no ugly human beings. There are only poor  human beings who cannot afford face & body procedures".

To my one track mind, which operates is the narrow channel of lucre rather than lust, the thought that came to my head was that the person could have been talking about the Indian stock market.

What is, in fact, the Indian stock market?

Nearly 75% of the market in India is composed of large cap companies.

This companies span industries that have seen better days in terms of growth and Glory : IT services, Pharma, Oil refining, Financial services, automotives, steel, cement, power.

This product mix is Cleveland - level smoke stack. It has a sameness and a staleness to it. These are companies in large part that have been around for three decades and more.

Every single nuance of their businesses has been poked and prodded, biopsies taken, blood samples drawn, more thoroughly than a cancer patient is inspected in a hospital.

This quarterly proctology done over decades has made us inured to their  decaying glory: much like the indifference with which we drive around priceless archaeological monuments in Delhi.

There is some nostalgic charm in watching crumbling and fading greatness.

That is why I had tweeted some time back, that the stock price charts of most of India's largest companies looks distinctly 5:00 p.m.

That is where young Indian companies doing cutting is innovative things need to step up. We need a Kapil Dev to replace Bedi, Prasanna and Chandra.

We need a Sachin to soothe the scars of seeing Gavaskar retire against, in a losing gladiatorial battle against Qasim & Taufeeq.

We are now in India in the Twilight zone: the old Stars are evanscing. They are ebbing .They are lions in winter.

They need Botox, fillers, blepharoplasty nose jobs, teeth veneers, lipolysis, butt shaping.

Or else, investors will flock away to the hotter ones that are looking like Leonard di Caprio 's latest girl friend.

That, dear friends, is my analysis of the Indian stock market, from the lens of cosmetic surgery.
