If you thought a down 25% was bad, Indian banks took it in the chin in 2011. Public Sector Banks lost about 41% while the sector as a whole shed about 33%. So much for “safe” Indian banks. The actively managed Motilal M50 performed worse than the NIFTY. In spite of the year-end weakness, the yellow metal trounced the rest of the market fair and square.
