I very quiet that day.
rejoice was definatley 'Not' the flavour of the day.

the heaviest traded indice, in India.
i made a lot of gains that day.
trading the volatility(on the short side) , while Nifty nifty bled...
it all started at 4500 levels (levels refer to the current month Nifty Futures) around the last week of september.
trading regularly, i witnessed how Nifty bled day after day...

well sir, i second that.
Nifty, like life, is unpredictable...
one shouldn't even try.
it should be watched closely and attentively...
it can definatley be learnt and realised.
