The rise and fall of Nepse

The huge volume of new Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), bonus and rights shares and debentures of various financial institutions worth billions flooded the secondary market, pulling Nepal Stock Exchange (Nepse) down. This week, Nepse plunged by 36.53 points to 770.37 points from last week's closure of 806.90 points.
This week's closing of 770.37 points - from August 31, when Nepse touched a record high of 1175.8 points - is a fall by almost 35 per cent or 405.43 points in these three months. However, market experts do not agree that this whopping fall of 405.43 points is a crash. They blame over-priced Nepal Telecom (NT) shares, book closing of major market propellers - the financial institutions - and deluge of shares in the secondary market for the continuous fall in Nepse.
Nepal Telecom (NT) share is, primarily, blamed for the fall in Nepse. The NT shares - listed on August 14 - started trading from August 17. NT shares scaled as high as Rs 1400 per unit, pushing Nepse beyond 1100 points - a climb of 300 points. But, as of today NT shares are traded at around Rs 600 per unit - that closed at Rs 629 on Thursday.
NT's share listing is the largest-ever, worth Rs 15 billion - that was 150 million-unit shares after Butwal Power Company (BPC) listed its 84,00,000-unit shares worth Rs 840 million at the secondary market. After listing of NT shares, the financial institutions dominating the capital market were expected to diversify giving option to investors but these institutions remained the market propellers.
Secondarily, some experts also see flow-back of money to land from shares. They point out that one of the reasons of the unnatural climb by Nepse was that people had been selling off land and invest the money in shares.
Thirdly, there is still the possibility of Nepse further plunging as some of the financial insititutions are yet to announce their book closing. This they will be doing soon.
This week Nepse - in its five-day session - wound up in negative territory for three days. The market opened in the red on Sunday as it plunged by 13.04 points to 793.86 points. On Monday, it dipped further by 19.68 points to 774.18 points.
However, on Tuesday, it rose by 1.81 points to reach 775.99. On Wednesday also, Nepse closed in green while gaining 0.59 point to reach 776.58 points. However, Nepse again plunged by 6.21 points to close at 770.37 points.
In terms of monetary value, Nepal Bangladesh Bank (with Rs 144.10 million), Bank of Kathmandu (with Rs 39.02 million), Nepal Investment Bank (with Rs 27.28 million), Standard Chartered Bank Nepal (with Rs 27.07 million) and Nepal SBI Bank (with Rs 17.59 million) are this week's top gainers.
In terms of numbers of share units traded and number of transactions also, Nepal Bangladesh Bank topped the chart with 1,99,000-unit shares and 503 transactions. Except the insurance companies group, all other groups wound up in negative territory this week because investors lost confidence. Nepal Bangladesh Bank has the negative networth.
The contribution of A-category companies this week was only 54.20 per cent and the float index - the real secondary market barometer - lost 2.45 points.

If you experience some emotional or physical problems in your life it can soon be seen in the condition of
your hair, using natural and organic products aids
in the recovery of your hair. Likewise, using imported shampoos and conditioners from a
tropical country when your climate is cold and temperate is not
such a good idea. When one thinks of fungus, they don't generally associate it with the head or scalp, but the itching, burning scalp, rash or pimples on the scalp could very well be caused by a fungus, requiring antifungal shampoo to provide well needed relief to the symptoms.

Of course, the dictatorship in Egypt is far different than what the vast
majority of Americans face. This means that your Egyptian cotton sheets will be much softer
to sleep on than your ordinary cotton sheets. Stars and the loaded are sometimes (however, not always) capable to go beyond the
holding out course of action to obtain immediate gratification.

Decorated coffins became still more important in the First Intermediate Period (2181 2055 BC),
when many tombs contained little mural decoration.

If one innocently applies an insufficient amount
of sealer on a very porous concrete material, the
said material may not be effective at all. Make sure that you don't end up with a look of patches by checking to see that the glitter falls all the way around the edges of a newly-painted area. And when we would cut for the plumbing work, I had to patch around that and make it solid.
