Dear Readers,
The correction has started precisely on the date we mentioned – 21st January, 2010. We predicted
it more than a month ago. Now, the situation has taken turn for the worse. The trigger was
provided by President Obama’s proposed clamp down on the banks proposing far reaching
regulatory actions to rein in the banks in terms of their size and activities. A separate article will
appear within a few days titled – OBAMA WAR with INTERNAL TERRORISTS

Dow has lost over 5% in 3 days. S&P has dropped to 1093, slightly above critical level of 1083. I do
not care for technical indicators. My forte is fundamentals. The core fundamentals are worsening.

• Bernanke’s extension as Fed chief, once considered almost a done deal, is now in serious
doubt. If he is reconfirmed, there may be a short reprieve for the market.
• The future of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is also in doubt. The AIG dossier is
becoming murky. The testimony of Paulson with Geithner in relation to AIG affairs is due
on Wednesday, 27th January, 2010. It means that the Senators know something
ignominious more than the investors are aware of.
• There are indications that the Senators have finally realized the extent of damage done by
Henry Paulson of Goldman Sachs and Ben Bernanke from Fed.
o President Obama’s pathani demand “We want our money back” alludes that the
$306 billions non fund based guarantee given for Citigroup’s worthless debt at
behest of Paulson – Bernanke combine are maturing into real fund based liabilities.
o Read with massive profit of Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup’s insistence to cancel out
the “loss sharing agreement with the Fed/Treasury”, the Senators and the President
Obama appear to have realized the “foul play” and “Criminal conspiracy” against the
State. Many frauds may come to light. It could have massive effect on Wall Street.
Even Warren Buffet could become controversial. His days are beginning to have “U”
turn for long.
• Two days – Saturday and Sunday, have passed since the President Obama disclosed his
plan to rein in the banks, their size and their disapproved activities. The era of $25 billions
of profit for the bank is gone for ever.
o The earnings of almost all banks will be downgraded by the Analysts up to 30% to
80% that could collapse the prices of major money center banks. The entire banking
structure globally will be re-assessed on severe downside. Bank of America, JP
Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo could face the burn of third degree.
o There will be further lending squeeze from these banks raising real market interest
rates.
Red Alert for Global Stocks – Tsunami 7 by Kalidas (Anil Selarka) Page 2 of 7
o If these banks can not make double digit billions of dollars of profit for next 5 years, ,
they will never be able to recover the past losses. Nor will they be able to raise new
capital due to poor earning prospects. Fed/Treasury window will be shut for good.
o In short, some major banks could become officially insolvent.
o Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley may surrender banking license to avoid above
restrictions.
o The global banking giants operating in US such as Barclays, Deutsche Bank, UBS and
Credit Suisse may have to realign their business. UK and Europe too could adopt
similar measures with similar effects. UK and Europe always play monkey game.
• SEC is preparing for some tough times ahead. Bloomberg reports on 23/Jan that “Concern
that short-sellers accelerate stock declines may prompt the Securities and Exchange
Commission to adopt a rule next month aimed at curbing bearish bets when equities are
plunging.” It adds that “The regulation would require the trades be executed above the
best existing bid in the market when shares fall 10 percent in a day,” In short, alarm is on.

Massive collapse is about to set in from Monday onwards. It is scary. It was inevitable; we were
merely waiting for the trigger. President Obama provided it. He is not to blame for what he
proposes. It is the way he has presented them and timing thereof. He is under extreme pressure to
perform that is telling on him for his expediency.
• The markets may lose anywhere from 5% to 15% in short time (< 1 month), and 15% to
50% in medium term (< 4 months) if the short term correction takes place.
• Margin calls will exacerbate the downside.
• Mutual Fund redemptions could cause massive slides.
• Money could become scarce overnight. Overnight Call rates could zoom and stay there for
unduly long time forcing short term rates to rise. My previous article “Maturity Mismatch’
may become reality as projected.
• Monday could be the beginning of Tsunami wave, category 7. So many things could happen
swiftly in short time.
• Massive losses to investors will become a hard reality. What they lose this time may not be
recoverable in next 3 to 7 years.
• The only reprieve will come when the Bernanke is allowed to continue his job. While he has
lost all credibility and should not be confirmed, it is in the interest of the market that he
continues for a while (temporary extension) until his successor is chosen. If he loses the
job, one may be waiting for him at Goldman Sachs.

This time, protecting capital is more important than the earnings. If you have capital left, there
would be earnings one day. It is not necessary to make money in every trade every day. It is
enough if you made good money some time rather than a little money every time. We therefore
suggest the following from Monday onwards.

There could be huge meltdown. All markets may go down Minimum 3 to 7 days continuously in
varying degree.
US Market:
1. Dow may lose another 14% (1400 to 1500 points) and then rest before going down again.
2. If S&P goes below 1083, it will be bad sign for technical analysts. In my view that it will be
breached.

3. NASDAQ may outperform DOW.
4. Buy Put options on S&P 100 known as OEX-100 and Nikkei 225. These are very volatile.
5. Do not trade S&P 500, it is less liquid and does not move fast.
6. SELL short or Buy puts on ADRs of Wipro (trading at 43% premium) and ICICI Bank (-3%) and
HDFC Bank (+15% premium). The heavy premium is usually lost in meltdown. Further, one
can keep short position in US market on any equity or ADRs for about 12 months by paying
suitable margin. Check with your US broker first.
7. Think of accumulating undervalued stocks like MTNL with Zero debt where discount will rise
due to meltdown making it attractive. Stronger rupee tend to add more value in $ terms.
8. Indian ADRs could develop more discount than shown today, making them more attractive.
Some counters are better bought as ADRs than underlying equities in India. If you have choice
between domestic share and ADR, prefer ADR of liquid counters. (large cap stocks)
9. A strong buy opportunity may emerge in FCCB (Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds) of Indian
companies that may be hammered in meltdown. Their yields may rise, premium contracts or
even trade at discount. They being denominated in $, stronger rupee will give better return
than underlying shares in India. Watch out for them. Go only for well known battered counters
in info tech, pharmaceuticals and telecom sector. This is for only wealthy investors having $ 1
Million or more investment budget. Not suitable for local investors due to larger size lot
involved
10. There could be political and social upheavals. Since hundreds of billions of dollars are at stake,
and jobs being lost with increasing intensity, violent political removal at high level at many
places is likely. This time for a change, the war will be within United States. Law may take a
back seat.

Indian Markets:
Indian growth story could be dented but will remain intact than China. India is still safest place to
invest. With US, Europe, UK, Japan and even China taking massive blow, India, Indian economy and
even Indian Rupee (if made convertible) could become real alternative to US dollar.

Nevertheless, holed in the habit of taking cue from the Dow and Asian markets, SENSEX may
tumble by 14% in a few days (2400 points). Huge margin calls from Wednesday onward could
push it down further by another 1000 points. The market may reach 13,400 first, rebound for 800
pts in dead cat bounce rally, followed by sharp drop down further by 2000 points. In short, the
market may lose 4600 points within one month. Even if the market recovers during intraday, it
may close down near the close. Not many would want to keep their position open overnight.

However, there is a caveat. Indian budget due in February could provide relief or act as mild buffer
against further sharp fall. It all depends how Government of India responds. The interest rates
may be lowered, not raised to contain inflation, and Income Taxes could be lowered for Corporate
and Individuals that may provide fillip to the Indian markets. This is however conjectural. Rely
more on facts than rumors or opinion. Financial expediency will prevail over political one.

1. Stock financing banks like ICICI, HDFC, Axis Bank, SBI could tumble more due to proposed
changes in banking law in United States. They will not be able to carry out their investment
banking activities as before. They could be the index draggers. Do not touch them for another 1
month even with remote pole. Swap them into neutral stocks like IDBI Bank or IFCI who are
domestic oriented.

2. Stay on short side.
a. If you do not want to sell down your portfolio, insure it by buying Out of Money Put
option of NIFTY for February or March, if available. Do not speculate, use it as hedge.
The markets could have wild swings that could boost or bust the speculators.
b. SELL 50% of remaining stocks held. You may have already sold 70% by now from the
peak, if you have followed this column. What you may have is remaining 20% exposure.
c. Possible exceptions are recovery play like Spice Jet. Ispat Industries and Dish TV who
have returned to profits already or will return in one quarter.
d. Finish your selling through out the day, taking advantage of intraday recovery. Even if
the Asian markets recover during the day, continue selling. You may sell some Spice jet
too if you are sitting on good profit, with a view to buying back later.
e. Stocks like ITC and Hindustan Lever may perform better than others.
f. SELL or reduce Mutual Funds (except LIC linked) by 70% and retain cash.
3. Focus on buying only after 3 days of fall only the following stocks. (1) Spice jet (<56) (2) Ispat
Industries (<23), (3) Dish TV (<41) , (4) Petronet (<71), and (5) Evinex (<3.65), (6) IOC (<270),
(7)IFCI (<43), (8) UCOBank (<48), (9) LIC Housing Finance
a. Avoid Oils, Metals, Ores, Infrastructures and all other high PE stocks. Also avoid story
stocks like PSU on privatization list.
b. Avoid oil producers; prefer State Owned Refineries like IOC, HPCL, BPCL, MRPL etc.
Avoid private refiners like Essar Oil and Reliance.
4. Buy more of Gold, Gold ETF and Silver.
a. Some may say that if Gold falls below $1065, there could be a meltdown. Do not buy
those stories. Gold rise most in uncertainty.
b. Silver is generally stronger than Gold nowadays. Use major fall in their prices as strong
buy opportunity.
c. No targets are given because you will be in hit and run market for several days.
5. Please note that this article is meant for regular delivery based investors. Some hedging
operations are mentioned to protect their portfolio.
6. Short term investors active in F&O segment may conduct their activities on their own impulse.
This article is not meant for them.
7. When the markets correct as above, it will provide strong platform to build Long Term
Portfolio of any amount as suitable to investors. Investments made in steep correction time
will provide better return than properties.
8. Defer buying property for investment purpose until March 2010.
9. If you are keen on investing into property for investment purpose, not for self use, better look
out for commercial properties from March/April. Read my all articles on “How to invest
series….” again.
10. Buy equities only when you strongly feel like selling gold or silver. At that time, one may buy
equity or properties. Prefer “Ready to Possess” properties than properties under constructions
from unknown developers who might close their shops suddenly and run away. This time
around, avoid farm properties, and prefer commercial or residential properties in major metro
cities or towns having population over 30 lakhs (Rs 3 Millions; +/- 20%)

Will the markets go the way as projected? I will be happy if I am proved wrong. The trouble is that
I am often proved right than wrong. But do not take me for granted. Try to be rational and make
your own calculated guess and decision. There is not going to be time for analysis.

A question may arise, whether this crisis was solvable? The answer is yes. For every problem
there are multiple solutions. My father taught me once “For every problem, there are 10 solutions
– just go out and find it”. I therefore wrote the book “SUB PRIME RESOLVED” which provided
comprehensive solutions. If US-A does not go the way I have suggested, the nation is set for gloom,
doom and total collapse. It may not exist in present political form.

I also made several attempts to offer solutions to the US Administration as under. However, there
was no response. No regrets. I did my job and would let them do theirs.

First, when I offered solutions to President Bush in August 2008 before crisis began.
However, he or his stooges in White House ignored. My letter to President Bush is
already in the repository and read by the readers. The real trouble started precisely
three weeks later in September 2008.

Second, I offered similar solutions to Senator Obama while he was campaigning for
Presidency. There was no response. But I can understand that.

Third, when my book “SUB PRIME RESOLVED” was published in June 2009. I wrote
to President Obama, the First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. No
response either.

Fourth, when I wrote similar letter to ex-President Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter;
they too did not care to respond.

Fifth, when I sent my book “SUB PRIME RESOLVED” to Sen. McCain, and Bobby
Jindal, Governor of Louisiana and Chris Dodd, Chairman of Senate Banking
Committee. However I did not receive any reply or courtesy acknowledgement.

Sixth, when I wrote a letter to the President Obama very recently with similar letter
copied to Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Christopher Dodd, Chairman of Senate
Banking Committee, and Timothy Geithner, the incumbent Treasury Secretary.
Again there was no reply or acknowledgement.

I threw a challenge to President Obama that if my solutions could not extract

the United States from the severest financial crisis and make it healthy again
within 9 months, I repeat 9 months, he can sign “Death Warrant” against me
with my and my family’s full written consent.

Seventh, when I wrote to the Chair of FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance

Corporation). Again there was no reply or acknowledgement.

I wonder why we send our children to USA for higher education such as MBA
when those expensive institutions do not even teach basics of Courtesy,
Management and Administration to upcoming business and political leaders
in United States itself. They keep their minds closed and ask us to keep ours
open.

The Americans are suffering from “Superiority Complex”. The past successes have gone to their
head. They appear to feel that only they know everything, forgetting that the knowledge knows no
bounds. It can spread anywhere. We are in internet age, America's own invention.

The White House may be thinking that this Kalidas, Anil Selarka or whoever he is, must be a crazy,
egoistic, pseudo bastard. When our Nobel Laureate economists, financial gurus and management
experts in United States are not able to think of one solution, how on earth this Kalidas could have
multiple solutions from Hong Kong 5000 miles away? Throw him into the dustbin for good.

There is one way Americans can come out of troubles learning from Americans only if they prefer.
Hand over the country to IBM executives. They know how to think, conceive, design, plan,
implement, execute and bring positive result. They think out of the blue box. It was IBM who
invented “Personal Computer”. Many years ago, the company was in shamble spending billions of
dollars in advertisements.

However, they read the writing on the wall in time and did not take
long to “dump” it by shifting to services and software solutions.
There used to be IBM logo everywhere in the past. The striped blue
logo is rarely seen anywhere now; and yet, they are everywhere
like God. Look at them today – they are fast, nimble, profitable and
as efficient as any coveted American enterprise ought to be.

President Obama has to take three decisions.

1. Dump GDP theory. (the way IBM dumped and got out of PC business)
2. Dump Goldman Sachs and quarantine every Goldman emission in Fed and Treasury (and
everything should be fine in US and globally)
3. Pump Gold. (brining back monetary stability by re-standardizing dollar)
