morning thoughts...

Well the astrological change mentioned showed its effects and the markets tolled on back of weak global cues along with the astrological pressure.
Technically the market still looks in a range with negative pressure with occasional intermediate bounces.
We have cautioned investors time and again about mis-selling in the financial industry. Be it banks, insurance, brokerages or mutual funds; unethical practices have infected all areas of finance.
The same story is sadly true for the mutual fund industry as well. Until not so long ago, mutual funds were allowed to deduct a percentage of your investment; (called an 'entry load') to pay upfront commissions to agents. This led to wide spread mis-selling in the last bull market. In the mad rush to garner assets, investors were sold risky funds (like thematic and sector funds) that were not suitable for their risk profile at all. We all know what happened as a result of this. When the bull market ended in 2008, these funds were the worst hit. Retail investors simply cashed out of these funds as the markets recovered. They wanted no more of the equity markets once they broke even on their investments. 
SEBI had banned entry loads in August 2009. However, this did not end the menace of mis-selling. Ever since the ban came into effect, MFs have paid agents upfront commissions from their own pockets. This was not seen to be much of a problem while the markets remained subdued. However, with the markets scaling record highs, mis-selling has returned in a big way. Consider this question: Do you believe that your relationship manager at your bank will have your best interests at heart, if he gets 6.5-7% commission to sell you the latest closed-ended mutual fund? Well, this is exactly what banks are getting right now. We won't be surprised if you have already been approached by your RM to invest in such a fund. 
Thus, it is heartening to note that things might be about to finally change for the better. The Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI) has proposed that asset management companies should scrap upfront commissions. If this is implemented, it would be a hugely positive step for investors. Under this system, agents will be paid over the period of time that an investor chooses to remain invested. This will force agents to sell equity MFs as long-term investments. This is exactly how they should be sold
Coming to the commodity markets bullions still looks strong and the strategy remains to buy on dips.

Base metals and energy will continue to witness selling pressure and is viable as sell on rise.
