Article Link -  https://www.linkedin.com/posts/pramudithalakshanperera_srilanka-economy-macroeconomics-activity-7082698143636619265-7_jO?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

I am excited to present to you an analytical article that delves into the upcoming introduction of short selling in the Sri Lankan capital market.
In this comprehensive piece, I explore the concept of short selling and analyze its potential implications for Sri Lankan investors. The objective of this article is to provide valuable insights and information that will assist investors in navigating this new and exciting development.

Short selling, a well-established strategy in many other countries, is about to make its new entry into the Colombo stock market. This introduction holds significant importance for our local market, as it opens up new avenues and opportunities for investors. By engaging in short selling, investors can capitalize on market downturns and potentially profit from falling stock prices.

In this article, I aim to shed light on the mechanics of short selling and its potential benefits and risks. I discuss how short selling can contribute to market efficiency, improve price discovery, and enhance overall liquidity. Additionally, I address the concerns and potential drawbacks associated with short selling, emphasizing the importance of implementing robust regulations and risk management practices to safeguard investor interests.

Furthermore, I provide an overview of the regulatory framework that will govern short selling in the Sri Lankan capital market. Understanding these regulations is crucial for investors to navigate the intricacies of this new trading strategy successfully. I highlight the key provisions, disclosure requirements, and monitoring mechanisms put in place to ensure a fair and transparent marketplace.

If you are interested in gaining an understanding of short selling and its implications in our local market, this article is a valuable resource worth reading.

Did you know elections can move the stock market and your chance of profiting from it is high if you time it right? ⁣ ⁣ After days of teasing, Mako finally announced it is on August 5th. ⁣ ⁣ Fundalyse Intelligence took the liberty of analyzing movements of the ASPI index from the date of announcement until the big day during the past five years.⁣ ⁣ Why does your vote matter to the stock market? Elections can have a long-term effect on the economy and people's lives. It gives power to the public to decide whether they want to re-elect the existing government and stick with the status quo without disrupting their plans for the country or to change the regime by voting for the opposition if they are unhappy. Ultimately, your vote awards a political party a mandate to govern the country and introduce policies that are market-friendly and can bring economic stability, consistent policies that would impact our businesses and lives positively but most of the time it has been a let down in Sri Lanka. Our votes are taken for granted and they b**** slap our faces with disappointment. But we are here not to get political about it. ⁣ ⁣ By looking at the data and the performance of the ASPI, it can help you prepare for the upcoming elections. The index tends to be volatile and rallies to about 6-8% from the trough, a month before the big day. It recovers the losses it made before it starts to reverse again after elections making it shortlived phase. Studies have shown that the market reacted positively to the elections before and during the elections and negatively after the election during the last 5 years. Therefore it doesn't matter who comes to power, but the implementation of sound consistent economic, market-friendly policies along with political stability will increase the business confidence making the markets prosper in the long run. ⁣ ⁣ However, unlike any other elections, this time the parliamentary election is a different ball game due to COVID-19 because you won't be seeing stage rallies and V8's on the street which increases consumption in the economy which could hinder the rally in #cse or maybe not. ⁣ ⁣ #srilanka #elections #stockmarket #covid19

In view of the Government declaring a special public holiday for three (3) days effective from 17th March 2020, the Colombo Stock Exchange has declared Tuesday, 17th March 2020 as a market holiday. Accordingly, the market will be closed on 17th March 2020.  #stockmarket #srilanka

Below illustration depicts the #stockmarket #return, based on ASI (Bloomberg: #CSEALL ) for the past 35 years from 1985 to 2019, on calendar year basis. #ASI total return #index (which considers dividends) was not used as it is only available from 2004 onwards.

Accordingly,
- The stock market has experienced more positive years than negative years
- For the past 35 years, the index posted positive calendar year returns 60% of the time and negative calendar returns 40% of the time
- The worst calendar year return was -41% posted in 2008, during the global financial crisis and at the height of the war. The best return was 125% posted in 2009 at the end of the war
- Regardless of the bad press on the stock market, #listed #equities have delivered #wealth for its participants over time. ASI has posted an average calendar year return of 42% over the positive years and -15% over the negative years

As data indicates, the pattern of #returns differs over the years. Thus anyone who chooses to #invest in listed equities, should learn to accept the negative years. You need courage and patience to stay invested through #bearmarket since no one can consistently time the market to get in and out and skip down years.
