Freaky Friday on D-Street; Twitterati take it with a pinch of humour

All the seriousness of the ongoing stock carnage has a lighter side to it, too.

The Nifty breached below the 10,000 mark for the first time in 2018 and the Sensex extended its losses to over 400 points. As markets across the world reeled under the impact of the scorching heat of a trade war, Twitterati came out with their funny take on this Freaky Friday.

"For the 3rd time in March, I feel the market has bottomed out; Can we make it final, today?" tweeted Porinju Veliyath, a market veteran, who decided to focus on the brighter side and even shared a word of advice with fellow investors.


Earlier this week, Porinju had asked investors to take the market correction in their stride and taken to Twitter calling the ongoing market scenario a 'Discount Sale'. "The current depression is a rare opportunity to part-own some of India's solid businesses. Remember, 'Discount Sale' won't be extended beyond March," he had tweeted.



Some even suggested ways the stock markets would behave. Fund manager Samir Arora, known for his witty comments, made a comparison between the market and Indian Parliament. His tweet said, "Every day bulls and bears meet in the morning to decide whether it should be kept open; on a day like today, bulls should start shouting & asking for market adjournment."



What quickly followed was another tweet by the ace investor, who shared his take on LTCG, the newest concern of stock traders, and mocked at the losses investors faced in today's session.



Other observers and investors had their own stories to tell. One such Twitterati spoke about a wish that remained unfulfilled. In a short tweet, Kiran D said: "I want (to) sell my entire portfolio on Jan 27th prices."

Abhimanyu Sofat, Head of Research, IIFL, perhaps took a liking to it and retweeted the same.
