Next Next week should see the first federal budget from new Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his finance minister, Arun Jaitley. It will be the first clear indicator of whether the almost 20% rise in India�� stock market this year has been justified or just election-fuelled hype.

Why has the market risen so heavily, first on the expectation of a Modi victory, then on its confirmation? The markets believe India has voted in a more business-friendly government that will boost the national economy. They believe this is a reform-minded administration that will take tough decisions, get infrastructure development underway and support growth.

Are the markets right? The presence or absence of the following initiatives will give us a clue.

Firstly, investors want to see tax reform. Many foreign investors in India have been deterred by tax disputes, with Vodafone Vodafone a prominent example (the glo

bal telco has sought international arbitration out of frustration with India�� government). This is a complicated field, but a central part of it is the issue of retroactive tax measures; foreign investors would welcome an assurance that the government will respect tax laws that are already in place.  On top of that, there is the expected goods and services tax: the budget is expected to include a clear plan for its implementation and collection.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Lawrence Meyers]

  The other good news is on pages 10, 11 and 15. Delinquencies are rising, as are collections. If debt balances increase, you would expect delinquencies to rise as well. That bodes well for the big-time players in debt collection, Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRAA) and Encore Capital Group (ECPG). Both just reported robust growth in collections, revenues, and net income. They’re also making large international acquisitions. I love both companies and think they’re are undervalued.

• [By James Brumley]

  As is so often the case, however, the market’s activity of late has been more random and coincidental than rational or calculated. Translation: Don’t read too much into the pullback from small-cap stocks. In fact, that pullback appears to have created some strong buying opportunities among the Russell 2000′s constituents. Here are four such small caps that bargain-hunters may want to consider first.

  Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRAA)

  For better or worse, collecting bad debts is a business that will never go out of style. That’s why Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRAA) is a solid all-weather play, particularly after shares of PRAA stock sank nearly 25% between October and February. Shares have made a modest recovery effort since then, but most of the rebound meat is still left on the bone.

  Small cap debt collection stocks like�Asta Funding, Inc (NASDAQ: ASFI), Encore Capital Group, Inc (NASDAQ: ECPG) and Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc (NASDAQ: PRAA) could be the latest target of a government shakedown or crackdown as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said this week that�before it formally proposes any rules for debt collection, it wants to hear how collectors verify borrowers' information and communicate with consumers. In other words, debt collectors could be restricted from using text messages, social media or other Internet-based tools in their pursuit to collect debts. With about one in 10 Americans coming out of the financial crisis with some debt in collection, investing in small cap�debt collection stocks has been profitable for investors. However, there is no timeline for when any new rules might be released for review or come into effect.
