TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FALLING SHARE PRICES!

Yes. We should take advantage of falling share prices as well specially from stocks of companies having strong outlook.

Grain, cotton and other raw materials prices are cheaper in emerging economies than before with depreciating of emerging market currencies, particularly the Brazilian real and Indian rupee. Sri-Lanka import lot of things from India.

Yes lot of things link to each other. Lower oil in 2016 means lower oil for other oils such as soya bean oil, corn oil, palm oil and canola oil etc. Some alternative energy also will have tough time.

Production companies, airlines, ship and aircraft builders, car manufactures, transportation companies, grain elevators, food processing companies, plantation companies having more factories and other equipments will benefit lot thanks to lower energy cost and other low raw materials prices. Even if rupee stay below Rs.140 and around Rs.148 still some commodity will become cheaper except item like cars due to falling currencies in emerging countries and falling commodity prices. According to some analysts oil can go to $ 20 level. Some companies will make use of falling prices to expand their business wisely.

We are having a cycle and we have to face for it. It is time to look for some emerging commodities and emerging companies in the emerging sectors. Every situation, there are winners.
