CONTENTS:
1.CANDLE STICK CHART OF NCC FOR 3 MONTHS
2.SMA- 15 DAYS, 125 DAYS
3.WEEKLY RSI FOR 1 YEAR

 

1.CANDLE STICK CHART:


2. MOVING AVERAGE CHART
SMA-15 DAYS; LMA- 125 DAYS
Interpretation:
It is a buy signal i.e a uptrend when the SMA is above the LMA.
But for NCC ltd LMA is above the SMA for most of the time, which indicates the downtrend of the securities over the period.



3.RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX:
This indicator is to check whether the security is over valued or under valued.
Interpretation
RSI of 50% indicates the securities are correctly priced. But the Ncc.ltd stocks rarely touches the 50%.
The value ranges from 77-23.5 over the period. In the beginning the stocks are over priced or over brought and the trend reversed but now at 73.3% the securities are over bought.
But any value between 25-75 is acceptable, hence the stocks are believed to be correctly priced.

Over six years ago, in January 2009, India Inc has hit by its biggest scam ever -- the Satyam Computers scam. At the centre of it all was the much celebrated entrepreneur who had the perfect rags-to-riches story -- Ramalinga Raju.


The story of a blue-eyed boy's journey to create a blue-chip company that encapsulated the story of new India in the post-liberalisation era had entralled everyone. Maybe that was the reason why no one suspected Raju and his underlings of any wrongdoing.


The case clearly marks a watershed year in Corporate India and exposed the perils of capitalism and the baggage it brings with itself. Free market ideology made Alan Greenspan the celebrated Federal Reserve chief and the subprime crisis was its byproduct. What the Enron scam is to the US, Satyam became to India.


How did Raju manage to achieve a scam of such a large scale in a company which was so closely scrutinised as India's success story, especially in the IT sector?


It all started with Raju's love for land and that unquenchable thirst to own more and more of it.

Ambition and risk ran in cahoots with his goals, mated with Maytas (nothing but Satyam when read from right to left), was an infrastructure company owned by Raju's sons, was a perfect recipe for disaster.


So perfect was the scam that no auditor or analyst could even figure it out till Raju admitted to the massive irregularities in his self-confession. The trigger was obviously the failed attempt to merge Maytas with Satyam.


An IT company buying an infrastructure company was never going to go down well with investors but Raju tried. It was his last bid attempt to hide what he had done. But this just opened the pandora's box.


So high Raju aimed that during pre-crisis era, Raju had set a target for Satyam to achieve $12 billion turnover by 2012. TCS, India's top IT firm had revenues of $13.4 billion in 2014.


Raju was an astute businessman who, unlike Infosys till recently, devolved all important management functions in Satyam to professionals but finance.


Satyam's finances were a black-box with an access card so rare that only Raju and his confidants knew what exactly was going on in the company. “This man does not belong in jail. He belongs in a mental institution,” quipped DA Somayajulyu, adviser to the Andhra government on economic affairs and policy implementation in 2009.


Ganesh Natarajan of Zensar Technologies famously said, “If anybody in the industry is capable of pulling off a scam like this, it would be Ramalinga Raju…the capability, the thinking through,  the planning of such a large operation….only he had the ability to pull it off."




At its peak market capitalisation, Satyam was valued at Rs 36,600 crore in 2008. Just a year later, the scam-hit satyam was snapped up by Tech Mahindra, promoted by Anand Mahindra, for a mere Rs 58 per share -- a market cap of a mere Rs 5600 crore.

The stock that hit its all-time high of Rs 542 in 2008 crashed to an unimaginable Rs 6.3 on the day Raju confessed on January 9, 2009. 



The scam
It took nearly two years and over 100 experts to assess the total damage of the scam perpetrated by Raju. The final figure was a shade under Rs 8,000 crore.

Satyam had tried to buy two infrastructure company run by his sons, including Maytas, in December 2008. The effort failed and in January 2009 Raju confessed to irregularity on his own and was arrested two days later.


He admitted to faking revenues, clients and even profits. CID told the court that Raju even falsified number of employees in the company by 13,000 and pocketed the money spent as salaries for these non-existent employees.


Raju faked 7561 invoices which raked up fake revenues to the tune of Rs 5117 crore and raked up fake cash worth Rs 3983 crore. He tampered with the invoice management software to give birth to this massive scam which is worth Rs 7900 crore in its totality.




The government swung into action and tried to salvage what was left of the beleaguered IT major. Deepak Parekh, chariman of HDFC was appointed as chairman of Satyam's board. Kiran Karnik of NASSCOM and C Achuthan of SEBI were other members chosen to steer Satyam out of its mess.


A year later, Satyam was auctioned and many companies showed interest in buying it for a price which was nearly one-tenth of its all-time high.


Tech Mahindra emerged as the winner in 2009.


Vineet Nayyar, who was appointed Satyam's chairman then, said that the process of reinstating accounts and finding the magnitude of the irregularities was "torturous".




The case

Accused in the case, including Raju, were charged with cheating, criminal conspiracy, forgery, breach of trust, inflating invoices, profits, faking accounts and violating number of income tax laws.

CBI has filed three charge-sheets in the case which were later clubbed into one massive charge-sheet running over 55,000 pages.

Over 3000 documents and 250 witnesses were parsed over the past 6 years.

As the judge reads his verdict on Monday, it remains to be seen whether the scam that shook India and the private sector for its sheer magnitude and brought to dust the edifice of India Inc will finally get its much deserved closure or not.



DOING SEM IN AMOS- AN AMATEUR ATTEMPT



My first work on AMOS, doing a structural equation modelling for 

PERSONALITY DETERMINANTS OF ONLINE SHOPPING: EXPLAINING ONLINE PURCHASE INTENTIONS USING A HIERARCHICAL APPROACH- journal is available at http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ijms/article/viewFile/11259/9054


HOW SEM IS DONE?

1.Questionnaire is made and circulated

2. All possible responses are converted into numerals

3.If 2 or more variables (say 5)measures same construct then the mean of the 5 variables are calculated

4. The mean is kept as dependent variable and the 5 are independent variables, then a regression equation is made in spss (BUT ACTUALLY THE COMPOSITE SCORE i.e. AVERAGE SCORE IS ENOUGH TO DO SEM)

5.The numerals calculated from the equation are the values for each construct

6. These are then tested in amos

#Episode 2 of Harshad Mehta Scam



Before entering into the details, it is better to know the following terms…

1.The Ready Forward:is in essence a secured short-term (typically 15-day) loan from one bank to another. Bank has some securities deposites at RBI.The borrowing bank actually sells the securities to the lending bank and buys them back at the end of the period of the loan, typically at a slightly higher price,as a pawnbroker lends against jeweller.

2.A Bank Receipt:is a receipt for the money received by the selling bank and pledges to deliver the securities to the buyer. In the meantime, the securities are held in the seller’s trust by the buyer.

Now lets see how Mehta used these instruments?

Armed with these schemes, all Mehta needed now were banks which would readily issue fake BRs, or ones without the guarantee of any government securities. His search ended when he found that the Bank of Karad (BOK), Mumbai and the Metropolitan Co-operative Bank (MCB) two small and little known lenders, were willing to comply. The two banks agreed to issue BRs as and when required. Once they issued the fake BRs, Mehta passed them on to other banks who in turn lent him money, under the false assumption that they were lending against government securities. Mehta used the money thus secured to enhance share prices in the stock market. The shares were then sold for significant profits and the BR retired when it was time to return the money to the bank.

The MAN’ipulation
Mehta continued with his manipulative tactics, triggering a massive rise in the prices of stock and thereby creating a feel-good market trajectory. However, upon the exposure of the scam, several banks found they were holding BRs of no value at all. Mehta had by then swindled the banks of a staggering Rs 4,000 crore. The scam came under scathing criticism in the Indian Parliament, leading to Mehta's eventual imprisonment. The scam’s exposure led to the death of the Chairman of the Vijaya Bank who reportedly committed suicide over the exposure. He was guilty of having issued checks to Mehta and knew the backlash of accusations he would have to face from the public.
A few years later, Mehta made a brief comeback as a stock market expert and started providing investment tips on his website and in a weekly newspaper column. He worked with the owners of a few companies and recommended the shares of those companies only. When he died in 2002, Mehta had been convicted in only one of the 27 cases filed against him.

#Episode 1 of Harshad Mehta Scam

Hi guys...lets start discussing some of the known scams in Indian Share Market, the first of its kind I know is Harshad Mehta Scam..
I personally felt that if one studies this scam,he can get the clear picture of loopholes in indian share markets...

I planned to post this in 4 episodes and here is the #episode 1-what i understood from the scam...

Let's say we have three banks A, B and C. And a broker X. And obviously, the government.

Now the banks want to make as much profit as they can by using the money just the way they want. And the government wants to regulate them by making it compulsory for them to invest some of the money in Government bonds. So the government puts a simple rule that at the end of every day, A,B and C have to show them a balance sheet and a minimum amount has to be invested in bonds.

The banks do it for some time but they ask the government for some kind of relaxation. So a new rule comes where you need to show the balance sheet only on Fridays. The average amount per day in the bonds has to be over the fixed amount, however, there is no such limit on the daily amount now.

Now X comes into the scenario. Since A would sell some bonds to invest elsewhere and B may buy some bonds as well, the banks will now have different amounts of money invested in bonds everyday and some will have less while some will have more. But all of them need to have that minimum amount on Friday, so the banks with lesser amounts, i.e, A in this case, would need to buy the bonds to keep up with the average.

So what does A do? It contacts X to get it some bonds from either B or C.

X is a trusted broker and all the banks know him pretty well. So X tells A that he'll get the bonds but right now he isn't sure that from whom will the bonds come, B or C. So instead of making the cheque on the bank's name, A should sign the cheque for X. (Which was illegal, BTW).

So A does that. Now X goes to B and ask for the bonds and using the power of trust, X tells B that he'll pay the money the next day to which B agrees because he also offered a good return on the money. See, bonds are important, money may come later too.

Using this trick, X makes sure he always has some money with him.

Now comes part two. The money he had, he invested heavily in the stock market to create a turmoil, specifically for a few companies like ACC. The market saw a huge run like never before and share prices of ACC and some others went over the tops.

Once he knew the market was at a peak, he started profit making and markets crashed. The bank people who were involved with him in the illegal acts panicked and one of them even committed suicide.
