Indian Stocks close in red | LIC housing, PNB, Central bank nosedives

As news about CBI arresting some of the top management of LIC housing finance, Punjab National bank and Central bank over scam in home loans allotment reached the Dalal Street, The impact was immediate. Stock prices of the LIC housing finance tumbled and were down by a whopping 18.88 percent, whereas stock prices of other PSU banks also nosedived as investors wanted to safeguard their money. Stock prices of Central Bank of India nosedived by over 8 percent and that of Punjab national bank also fell by 2.33 percent at closing today. Makes me think whether all the PSU's working is crystal clear?? I think if we investigate each and every PSU balance sheets there would be inflated numbers in liabilities for sure which actually might not exist at all, so people who have invested in PSU thinking as safer option might lose their money until government of India finally take over them for safeguarding the stakeholders...what an Irony in indian stock markets.

Already Indian stock markets are the most volatile stock markets of world and such news further makes the investors think whether the present price levels are actually fit or are overpriced, Investing in such volatile conditions requires great analytic acumen and the 3 most important tips for investing in volatile markets(read full post)
