I generally hate to see a whacking in any country's stock market. However, I am VERY happy that the Indian stock market is getting pounded... Was reading several articles on how Indian investors (mostly urban rather than rural) were lessening their gold holdings and investing in Indian stock market and bragging how much more money they were making in the stock market rather than in gold. With Indians purchasing 21%+ of annual gold supply primarily for the bank accounts around their necks, fingers, and arms, this was not a trend I was comfortable with (i.e. more stocks and less gold)...

This 20%+ whacking of the Indian SENSEX (12% today) is welcome news for me..., don't mind SENSEX outperforming world stock markets just as long as it does not outperform gold..., and as much as Indians hate volatility of the gold price, it is especially good news that SENSEX now more volatile than gold...

(Now I can go back to worrying about next year's Indian monsoon season. You do not want to be in gold when low rainfall/drought causes those rural Indians to sell their gold for food and self preservation..., that could bring about the same amount of gold on the market as annual central bank gold sales...)
