The week gone by had all the action and drama that could be thought of and finally the inevitable correction came. Call it the Iraq factor or the coincidental Friday the 13th effect, markets fell and suddenly people realised that what goes up also comes down. The markets fell sharply from the Sensex highs of 25,725 and the Nifty's 7,700. Though the weekly close saw small losses on the benchmark indices, individual stocks were battered.
