It is to be admitted that certain manipulation has taken place in the share market. Government and other machineries are aware of this but chose to ignore. Profit from shares are not taxed and people fully utilised this loophole, especially certain group. Sensex was going up daily as water level increases during flooding. Our fanancial experts including Finance minister defended by saying-"yes it is boom in economy". Damodaran did something and Bhave is doing his best. still government has to do something. Otherwise such falls are expected, draing our economy and pampering our Investers.
