Someone has rightly said that 'One death is a tragedy and a million is statistics'. Recent swine flu pandemic is an eye opener for us. Its not how many died but rather our response to such issues. May be there is too much going on in my mind, may be i am bit zapped by last night movie on HBO ' Bee movie ' and another news in today's daily that bee population is reduced by 40% due to phone towers. What happened to our friendly sparrow? may be the same. Why have we lost our sensitivity to such issues? If 'An inconvenient truth' cannot make us senitive then this space is too small to do that.
In coming years falling crop production or the politicaly correct way of saying this will be 'the growing middle class population' in the country will consume more in turn that will drive the prices up for agri produce. Companies that are green and/or catering to this sector like Bajaj Hindustan, Jain Irrigation, GG Dandekar just to name a few will command huge premium over the market. If you are a long term investor investing in agri based company would probably be the best option.
As it stands today, market has appreciated by more than 80% from its lows. Would be better if we rely more on performance than on the liquidity.
