The confusion creates…..

The markets took the much required support at the 3850 level and the efforts of bulls being respected in placing the Nifty above 4000 level.

The markets are at confusion about the future whether India can out perform at the Global competition as the environment was changed due to the high crude prices and inflation. To add fuel to the fire the local political situation is also very bad even though everybody is trying to pose a brave face while facing the camera.

Whether it is Dr Kalam or Dr Manmohan who recommends the N-deal but the changed economic compulsions forcing us to sign on the deal to safe guard the energy security to the nation. The markets live with short sighted policies, the political compulsions and competitiveness of the economy to excel in future. The perceived robust growth of economy is intact inspite of the above discussed problems.

The monsoon is so far good but the high input cost is becoming an expensive investment at the agriculture level. The farmers are no longer attached to the tag that they need to cultivate and produce food for the rest but they are equating as investment and return.

The first quarter (Mar-June) results and the industry views on the demand supply side at their level will decide the future course of direction of the Nifty.The RBI governs work became very tough to deal with the inflation as limited tools left at his disposal to dealt with the situation. The crude oil price fall can infuse strength to emerging economies like India. The situation will ease as things stand at this point in time. The other challenge is the Rain God’s blessings to India.

The external and the limited controllable situations are controlling the Nifty direction at this point in time. The time will ease things and the turmoil will melt down and the confusion dust will settle down by Sep-08 but the fog of parliament elections will again put speed breaks to the upward Journey of Nifty in 2008.

So all around existing confusion will lay down heavy burden on the shoulders of the Bulls even though the macro and micro economic conditions look bright for the long-term journey ahead.

The early signs…….

The markets are taking the early signs of recovery from these levels. To substantiate the earlier posting, there was a jubilant recovery that occurred as if there was a bull grip over the markets.

Today the market lost all the gains that made yesterday. The silver lining of the days action is that the markets dug enough space to burry. As a matter of fact whose grave yard is this any way?. The markets may test the 3600 level but the bounce could become very sharp as it happened in yesterday’s move. The hope that can light the Bull Run torch could be from the support from the Nuclear deal.

The market stability will also depend on the 4020 level, and shall march above to 4230 level crossing the high of 4285 with in 3-4 trading sessions. Incase this won’t happen then we ca assume that the bottoms were washed till 3100 level. We like it or not the markets know the news better and that will be reflected in the price that is what ultimately represent in the technical analysis. The Reliance shall trade above 2080 level and shall cross the early resistance of 2285. The bottom support of RIL, ONGC, SBI, Infosys, wipro, Bharti, LT, BHEL and DLF shall not be challenged by more than 2 percent.

There is no reason to worry at this point in time as the markets are at cross roads. It could become a good opportunity buy rather than selling the holdings. The bounce will easily take the Nifty to 4560-4630 level. The temporary worst can be considered over when the Reliance Infra crosses 850 level, India Bulls Real-estate crosses 310 level, the LT crosses 2400 level, Bharti crosses 785 level.

Let the under-performing…..

One of the clear signs of trend reversal in a bull market happens when the outperforming stocks of yesterday start the signs of under-performance as the days goes by. The Index continues to surge in the same direction but the darlings take a nap. The same is the case with the falling market. There are some stocks those fall very steep surprises the retail investor and very little could understand. The outright sell off will be seen with steep falls, as the days pass by every body could recognize that what was happened?.The Deep-pockets garner the best opportunity to sell at higher levels and they also enjoy the early gains of up trend.

In this bleak scenario there could be silver ling to identify the trend reversal. The stock price always speaks the truth louder than the news. A clear observation can through the opportunity to the retailers also. The trend reversal can be identified once the weakest sector finds buying interest in the market by the smart people that could be the secret why these weak stocks won’t fall however deep the market falls.

To validate the above observation it is necessary that the underperforming sectors in the market at this point in time- Real estate and Capital goods shall start perform. So it is very important to see DLF trades above 496-503 level, Unitech shall trade above 210-214 level and the India Bulls Real estate above 395-400 level. The capital goods sector though has some silver lining with orders at disposal but the heat of raw material costs eating into the profits, thus evaporations of current prices to settle with lower P/E valuations. This sector has huge potential to outperform in future but the U-turn possible only when the price of L&T trades above 2750-2800 level, the BHEL shall trade above 1550-1585 and the ABB shall trade above 1020-36 level.

crude CRUDE acting......

The Aug-2007 levels…..May-07 levels...the journey towards south starded in Jan-2008 could end in Sep-08.

The levels suggested earlier for the Nifty touched without any resistance from the bulls.
Now the markets are on a free fall. The risk takers right from the 5100 level, 4800 level and the worst hit at 4600 level were wiped out as the uncertainties are looming large.

The markets got support only when the trend reversal happens at the front line stocks. The best things can be seen only when Reliance crosses 2440 level, ICICI crosses 830 level, ONGC crosses 930 level, SBI crosses 1330 level, BHARTI crosses 860 level, RCOM crosses 610 level and the strongest scrip of these turbulent days- RPL crosses 205, then the core strength in the market will established and will be reflected in the NIFTY. The markets are moving northwards only to sail to southwards with vigour. The FII selling will be over as the stocks fall below their acquisition level. Please see the older posts in which I discussed the same.
To blow once own trumpet, I clearly suggested to invest in technology, Pharma and FMCG in my earlier posts as they could reward the investors in future. Those who invested in FMGC might have experienced the taste of down fall and the rest are still in huge profits.

Those who can venture for longterm can now start cherry picking in Telecoms and the equipment sector. The great old days of infrastructure are far from sight but the malls with cash and carry business is bright. The smaller Indian banks with insurance tag will get good support from FIIs and foreign banks. The best safe bet is always the technology now with a new name - KPO services.

The consolidation is sure…

The markets are taking time to consolidate to take a breakout move. The markets across the globe lost more than 4% but were didn’t participate due to holiday. The markets take the Infosys cue and the yesterday meltdown. Incase the tech bellwether could project well for the next year with out fear due from the GE, then the markets likely to correct by 2% otherwise the markets may close below 4640. The markets shall not close below 4620 for more than two days can cause a severe damage to the Nifty.

As we expected RIL move the real saver of Nifty may not close below 2270 as the news flow is very positive. Incase the Nifty fails to trade above 4650 even the RIL trades above 2280 can be a temporary fall that can become a trap of bears. So the Nifty can move up so long RIL trades above 2120 and RPL trades above 153 then the bulls have some thing more to say in the short term.

IS THIS A CONSISTANT INCONSISTANCY?…

The markets are consistently surprising to the traders and confusing the investors with it's irregular movements. The days are gone for the buy today and sell tomorrow traders in the market( BTST) for next 12 months. The markets will take the run-up only when the retail investors lost their last hope of investing and should come forward to sell their blue-chip holdings in frustration.

So how long the small investor keep his faith for an early rebound?. Observe how the markets world over lost their value in just two months?. If one critically analyse the market operation how good things and favourable news flows continued for more than six months even after the first signs of SUB-PRIME news catching the headlines. But suddenly on a fine morningmarkets fell across the globe. The markets took a deep cut in its value and coundn't bounce back. The bullishness gone and the darkness of inflation due to price rise news started erupting from the volcano of commodities.

Now the suggestions from IMF, World bank and other research/statistical institutions are throwing open suggestions to the third world countries on & how to tackle the situation.

The crisis will be over once the deep pockets grab their chunk of blue-chip stocks across the globe, then the good news will be aired on how strong the economies of emerging countries and their importance in building the new society.

This is all in the game to WIN and enjoy the POWER to dictate the terms.

Infotech to Infratech…..

The strong bottom is necessary for an assured up move that can stay for a longer period of time which can start with a good note at any time has been extended due to inflation worries. The external pressures are intact to put a cap on the speedy upward movement of Nifty. The bottom building is enough incase Infy, Wipro and TCS doesn’t loose much on forex hedging. The greater cause of concern which was confined to books for time being is going to be disclosed with in few weeks.

The Nifty is oscillating between 4550 to 5000 levels- a 10% move for one more month is assured as things stand as of now. The markets may loose some bottom in case the RBI increases CRR by 50 basis points. The markets are reeling under pressure due these issue are of temporary in nature can settle with in 3 months. The growth story of the Indian economy is intact and can expect better investment opportunities in the years to come.

The Infotech story of 2000 can be seen in Infratech in 2010 and after. The best thing is to start investing in infratech companies that can offer huge potential for growth along with the health care sector including pharma. The long-term investors can stay invested in companies engaged in the projects that are under execution that can last more than 36 months. For short term investors best ting is to invest in FMCG that got benefit on palm oil imports. The Nifty is now good at 4500 and so long RIL stays above 2120 the danger to Nifty is safe guarded.

The worst ghost is now focusing on capital goods sector and the silver lining can be seen in tech stocks. The markets are weak due to the inflation numbers and the fear that can come from RBI side are vanished then the worst is over to our markets for at least 6 months as the Nuclear issue can be handled by the new Govt. in office after the elections. The business can be as usual and the policy decisions can be expected as a first sign came from the Central Cabinet that was reshuffled. The message that the Govt. wanted to send to the people and investors is clear that there was no immediate threat from the Left. On this occasion we welcome the new ministers with cheers at the D-street.

More worries for time being…..

The populist measures taken and the long-term growth driven investments made by the Finance Minister was not well received by the markets. The Govt. decision to write off the loans and its confusion to write-off (the long standing bad debts of the farmers) more as the increasing demand from all circles as the opportunity was thrown wide open, took the toll of the markets along with the global meltdown. The market fall provided great lessons to the investment community and to the swing traders “never are hasty to take investment decisions and always wait till the time is ripe”.

The length and the speed at which the market shooted up in Nov & Dec-07, the fall it took in latter part of Jan and March are best opportunities to exit and re-invest at this levels. The market operation never is ideal or convenient to the retail investor to take a right decision at right time. Any way these discussions are about the history and now any body could suggest what could be a right decision.

The best opportunity now available is to invest in blue chips considering the Budget proposals. The undisputed statement is Indian economy is an internal demand/growth driven economy and the proposed investments will not be differed. So focus on growth sectors that can safely lead the index to new highs with in 18 months from now. The market leaders are going to change this time from power to pharma related business.

This time the epicenter of the multidimensional industrial/economic growth will be health care- Bulk Drugs & formulations, Pharma research, CRAMS, Hospital services and allied services. The eco-tourism will become health tourism as an integral part of the health care services.

Start accumulating the blue-chips…..

In my earlier write up clearly mention not to sell the enterprise so long the growth prospects are in tact in the long run. As an investor in stock markets one needs to be conscious to understand the developments happing around the globe and try to understand the impact over the prospects of the industry that was chosen as an investment opportunity. Please read my earlier write ups that can throw some light on the future prospects and the necessary levels that Nifty and the frontline stocks that needs to cross. Pls. read…. Distribute and eliminate…(21-11-2007), The end of the BULLRUN?.(17-12-2008), No longer immune…….(06-01-2008)

Never sell the Enterprise…(Dt.29-1-08)

The markets are facing rough time but the ray of hope lies in the growth story. The markets are likely to bounce back to new levels and even cross the High in the months to come as the dust will settle after two quarters. The India’s economy growth is intact and the corporate performance will improve in future. The internal consumption is huge and the breadth is increasing by strength.

The Nifty is strong at 4500-4600 levels. The range suggested earlier (5200 to 6300) is still a valid range as the FII’s have heavily from 19th Sep-07 to 16th Oct-07, invested at the 4500-5700 Nifty levels. The FII out flow is a cause of concern at this point in time but not at all a worry some event.

So long Reliance stays above 2430-50 level, ICICI stays above 1035-29 level and the ONGC stays above 1000-990, SBI stays above 2020 and the Bharti stays above 810 level the markets enjoy the bulls support.

It is very unfortunate that the retail investors who buy at the high/index and sell at the bottom of the index. The stock market investment is a skillful and precision job where knowledge and experience go hand in hand.
The novice investors, who mostly lured by the media message, think that it is very easy to make money from the market operations. The seasoned operators spread the rumors with lucrative price targets that attract the scapegoats to stock markets. The fresh flesh of scapegoats makes the feast tasty at the bourses. Like the instant coffee making machine, markets never spin sustained money but the losers at all times believe the rumors that it pores money but most retailers choose markets as investment avenue just because it allows everybody to participate even with their meager hard earned money.
The false conviction promotes to take large leveraged positions to make quick money at the earliest possible duration. The suggestions from the seniors turned down at the instance and that becomes melodious music to the deaf ears as every body thinks that the cheese is large enough to have their share.
It is a great opportunity for those who recognize the treasure that was stored in the stock markets and invest regularly for a period of time like any other plantations but most lack the patience to grab the opportunity. It is very important to identify a right stock at the right time is the crux of making money at the bourses -“Early bird catches the fish”.

Get the Bud from the “Budget”………

The stimulus dose has been given to the slowing economy by the FM. The dose is a long acting balanced one. The sustained release of the budget proposal can be a good foundation to maintain the 8.5% growth rate. So get plant with the bud now and enjoy the fragrance of the flower later.

The auto sector will benefit from the excise cut but the rising cost of inputs is a great concern. So no run up or flare up at this point in time but the laggards will benefit the most in the long run.
The banking sector got the liquidity from the write off and support to the extent from the govt. The real problem is the new loan can get the repayment on time?.
The cigarettes get costlier that to the poor persons choice- no filtered one.
The Dividend double taxation is no more can support the parent companies whose subsidiaries are doing well.
The excise cut and rationalization of CENVAT can save good amount of tax saving to big companies, can add to the bottom line of the manufacturing sector.
The drag is from the petrochemical sector and the techies. The customs duty cut at the import level can save some amount but the levies on naptha will eat away the profits.
The tea sector got the excise relief.
The steel sector is nothing to worry or cry for the direct support from the govt. The infrastructure spending can take care.
The tourism and the hotel sector go hand in hand for their survival.
The cement companies are paying the price for the confrontation they made, now the telecom sector joined.
The set top boxes, data cords and the Internet expansion can add to volumes but not from the “Hello FM”.
The cold chain and the retailers are the sustained growth sectors in future got the required support from the budget.
The clear winner of the budget is the Pharma. The companies can get undisputed and the most required support on fronts. The hospitals also got the support and the health of net profit “insured”, be improved upon.

The Nifty can get the bottom support but the draggers put pressure on the top.

The politicians and the bureaucrats failed to dig-out the accumulated black money for more than 50 years but understood to crush the genuine tax players. The most unorganized sector of Dalal Street got deathblow. The Day traders whose support is crucial for the liquidity mercilessly squeezed. The need of the hour is to create a big union of the day traders and the short-term investors/momentum supporters to get the voice heard to the Delhi lobby.

A WILD DREAM- “THE MINISTER FOR SPECULATION” - WRITEOFF THE LOSSES MET BY DAY TRADERS AND SMALL INVESTORS AND 25 % TO HNIs, INCURRED DURING THE STEEPFALLS FROM 1991 UPTO JAN-2008. THE MINSTER ALSO QUOTED “ LOSS IS A LOSS TO ANY BODY AND THE GOVT. IS MADE BY EVEVRY BODY SO NOT COMITTED FOR SOMEBODY”.

STILL TO CROSS…

In spite of the best efforts by the Bulls at the opening, taking cues from the global surge, failed to absorb the selling pressure. As posted earlier the Nifty failed to cross the 5371-75 levels but could hold the bottom intact that suits for Bulls.
The retail investors are no more enthusiastic to invest even though the stock prices are at mouth-watering levels. The smart money is entering but very selective to support the stocks like- SAIL, techs-Inosys, Satyam and the pharma pack Sun, Cipla, Ranbaxy, Biocon (these were already suggested-read earlier posts.)

Not a good sign but……

As posted earlier the markets opened higher on Monday and Tuesday but failed to hold the gains made last week, as a matter of fact Nifty touched a high of 5368 a level that is most important for the bulls. (..The markets likely to open high but has to close above 5365-71 to continue the efforts made by the bulls during the week long fight against the bears/global concerns….). The real damage has done to Nifty today when it failed to hold above 5200 but the ray of silver line hope lingering at the other end of the tunnel that it could cover the losses by the week end and stays above 5263 will become a good sign. The positive side of the Nifty is still above 5085 on closing basis but the frontline counters failed to cheer the bulls.

Incase RIL trades below 2350, ICICI below 1066, ONGC below 930, SBI below 2128 and SAIL below 204 (very crucial levels) then there a serious damage done to the Nifty and will correct sharply to 4000 levels. The markets may take longer period to revive than expected earlier. As of now, I think that the bulls are inviting bears to sell as much they could to trap them heavily before the good news known to every body.

The Retail Investors can avail the opportunity to eat more stock-food to fatten the kitty but shall not expose to swallow the bullet.

The closing is crucial….

The markets likely to open high but has to close above 5365-71 to continue the efforts made by the bulls during the week long fight against the bears/global concerns. The immediate resistance will come at 5471-85 level. The markets any way face resistance at every level but the crucial thing is that it should not loose the bottom support. The markets may oscillate for next two weeks till the budgets boosts the sentiment. The policy matters likely to infuse new blood in the markets if it stays above 5480 by Feb series. The blue chips in the banking sector building hopes on insurance sector and economic growth may find good support from bulls once the Budget sops announced to Heath insurance and the corporate tax cut. The FM will infuse large savings of industry and personal income to plough back for rapid growth well above 9%.

The pharma sector will get FII support as they encouraged the IT sector. So KOI- Keep On Investing in stocks that do the CRAMS business. The power equipment sector will be no more a favourate on the bourses but the encouragement will afloat the stocks at these levels. The boom in the realty will continue to stay and the stocks will out perform the Nifty. The emerging sector will be CNG and gas distribution in the towns. The RNRL will see more good days than now. The GAIL will benefit the most than the other stocks in the Nifty.

The Nifty will find first support at 5135 level and 5085 is crucial. Incase Nifty trades below 5085, then offload 50% of the holding. The RIL has support at 2356-26, Infy has support at 1441-45 levels but it is good above 1505-11 levels. The ICICI bank has support at 1135-30 and SBI has support at 2130-35 levels. The relatively weak counters are Bharti and RCOM. The Bharti has to cross 909 at the earliest possible time and shall trade above 850. The RCOM has to cross 645 and shall trade above 611-15 levels to see that the stocks get bulls support along with the Nifty advancement. The positive sentiment will become a foundation for next big movement when the Nifty trades above 5545.

Some time needed…

The markets taken the timely u-turn to see new highs in future but it will take some time to do so.
As suggested in the previous posting the Nifty took a deep low at around 4800 and trapped the ardent bears to see further low. The earlier suggested level for the Nifty is at 5085 but to trap the bears it took a deep low at 4803 but took bottom support at that level for 3-trading sessions and the journey took the index to reach 5300 levels. This classic example can be correlated with the BHEL support at 2047 and then a trap to bring at 1850 levels to see the bears live in joy for a day or two. Try to understand the game plan behind the moves to understand the stock market operation.

The length of fall is so deep that it could take more time to bring the retail investors to market. The financially damaged retail investors tasted bitter experience with R-Power, are experiencing a series of failures at their investment decisions. They are now nostalgic to the heart pains/caused wounds. They need more time to forget the bad feelings of buying stocks and will become scapegoats again at the top.

So always “Buy Low and Sell High”- this could be a valid proposition only when one understands the market movements. The other way of investment in stocks is “Buy when the trader’s margin selling happens and Sell when the trader is confident to take delivery with margin”.

No longer a long fall..

The Nifty has created a great concern suddenly dropping nearly by 200 points from previous week. Now the markets are moving Southwards in spite of smart money entering into prime stocks. The best thing is let the market fall to the deepest possible place, as it is a trap to bears; once it crosses 5135 buy the good stocks that have limited scope to fall. The best thing is to accumulate the out-performing sectors like pharma, auto and techs to some extent. The weak signals are not over but the hope is building by strength on the budget expectations on tax sops to corporates. As posted earlier the Reliance got support at 2390 level and closed at 2426.

The worrying factor is that that markets did not excused the slow down in the growth when the CSO announced the data. The steep fall more than 180 points damaged the short-term prospects of early recovery of Nifty. Now Nifty will advance definite, confirmed growth prospects. This provides an excellent opportunity for cherry picking in the lot. The clear signals of advance movements confirmed in software stocks like Infosys, so long it stays above 1470 favours the bulls and likely to gain over Rs 200/-, can easily cross 1749-1770, Satyam can cross 453-460 range, Wipro can cross 463. The smart money is entering in the auto sector, especially Tata Motors will run above 740 to 870 range and the rest will follow. The defensive sector Pharma will now infuse fresh momentum with the tax benefits to the R&D and the private equity players encourage our companies to expand to meet the demand of CRAMS business. The top players like Cipla and Ranbaxy started bottom building. The stocks like Dishman, Divis, Nicholas and Matrix will give 60-100 % returns in one year. So falling Nifty cause tension for those whose investments are for a week to 10 days (now forger Buy Today Sell Tomorrow story). Nobody has ever thought how dangerous it is to find a fool for the next day to buy those dumped stocks on premium for a single night holding.

The Worst is not over…

The global turmoil has not came to an end as one after one bad news is unwinding after every rise the markets are inching globally. The spin that created due to sub-prime issue is going to settle in a week’s time as the eve of Budget-08 is going to creat its interest at the Indian bourses.

The technical’s are building on weak foundations of global cues at Nifty level but the bottom building is on. Incase the Budget fails to meet the market expectations then the markets likely to touch 4135-45 range and may stay in that range for more than an year as the election schedule will dampen the markets. So the crucial support at the first level exists at 5115-5085, then the crux of Nifty support exists at 4503-4518.

The markets look southwards so long Reliance trade below 2645-50, but the Bulls keep their faith strongly to fight against all odds until Reliance trades above 2400-2380. The immediate support for the Nifty is at 5225-15 and the front line Nifty movers are favouring the bulls at this point in time.

As simple as that ….

The stock market is a beautiful place where all can gather and have fun, offering parties, celebrating for some body’s fall is also seen even when the days of mourning were announced at the bourses. This is a common phenomenon that can be tracked across the world. The interested groups gather to enjoy the party when some body made a “Killing” in the market while the Bull move is on. These easy earnings and celebrations throw lots of hope in the individuals who are even called at that particular point as spectators of the “Stock Game”. At this point in time no-body listens -“Stock market game is no child’s play”.

These spectators spread the news of how easy it is to mint lakhs/crores at the bourses that to in weeks/days. These people motivate the sleeping/non-participators to grab the ever-flooding opportunities in the stock market. Slowly but surely the “chain action” will spread the news to streets. The “chain action generated reaction” will increase the activity in the market that propels the prices to higher levels. The money flows and chases the stocks unabated. The crux of the game starts here- the fag end retail investor/new participant think that the up move is real and permanent. This story is not new to the seasoned but they also get trapped as they think/rather advance a bit before the fall starts. So they get trapped twice in the short side and their stop losses get triggered. The new comers will lift the stocks shorted by the seasoned as they think that the move is a “God sent opportunity”.

Now the operators build positions against the up move at the top/plateau, they tend to loose some notional loss as the stock even move higher. The seasoned traders think that the high volume built up at the top is a bottom building exercise for a fresh move. So they tend to go long or wait for confirmation of the long move that keeps them away from shorting or leaving their deliveries. The real crack down will happen at that movement that leads to sharp fall in the market. The new comers and the margin traders get wiped out of the system. The losses put burden on their families and the crying on streets by blaming the “Market” becomes a day of activity for some time. The newspapers mention in their headlines how the Govt. failed to save the retail investor. But very little effort has done to educate the investors. No media tried enough to educate the retailer investor about the over greediness/underling dangers of capital loss or the need for systematic investment plan over a period of time. We all know that the story repeats once again after some time.

The cracks can be seen before a collapse; like that the sprout cracks the ground to emerge. The stock market is no different from nature, do some homework, understand the business cycles and the company prospects before investing. Above all the stock market operation is as simple as that ‘Never build the herd mentality but Follow the Trend”.

Increasing B P ….

The real test for Bulls and the in built long run of Bullishness in the Indian markets will see the new opening tomorrow. In case the Indian markets are in bull grip, then the markets will open above 5226 and will close above 5280 at Nifty.
The bears took lot of advantage due to US financial crisis and global troubles. The situation at the home is very positive. (I failed to publish- It has little importance but can be used as a record.)

The game of averages …

The operators take large amount of “Risk” and so is the “Return”. The retail investor always at the fag end to receive the vital information and fail to do necessary home that can give good returns/protect him from the pit falls. I try to once again make the readers about the warning made when the Mid and Small cap run up started …… titled as Distribute and eliminate…………..dt.21-11-07…

Who will buy at higher levels is all ways the question asked by many and the doubt can be answered only when some body experiences the taste of buying at the top and selling at the panic bottom.
“Don’t be CRAZY to chase…”, “be cautious…..,” the phrases often used and shout… buy buy buying—happening every where……create a confusion in the minds of investors and make them to believe every thing is rosy and beautiful. This is a classical effort to prepare the retail small investors to become scapegoats.

In my earlier write up cautioned the readers to think about the happenings at the bourses. The speeds at which things are happening are very new to Indian investors and are losing time, opportunity and money in the process. The game plans are designed in such a manner to eliminate the retail investor incase somebody holding good stocks at fair prices.

“The steep falls and steep rises give little time to think.”— “Stock Market” is a mind game and every step of investment shall go after through research, understanding the business and the timing of pricing the investment.
At the end of the day “Minting Money” in the “Stock Market” comes by “Buy Low- Sell High” but not by buying cheap………………

The experts are clear about the Bull market but are not advising the investors to buy at the rock bottom prices and asking to wait till they average.

The Indian growth story is selling at dirt cheap at the bourses. The inherent strengths are unexplored and more good days to come. Let some body suffer at some place be sympathetic but all thing hungama is just because to give respect. But after a few days of turmoil, the nations will go back to work. Because US is going for elections like us they are also compelling the Govt. to go for some incentives to industry and to the public. The US is no exception than any other nation when it comes to elections. So there is nothing to worry about our GDP growth or about our markets. The good companies will flourish early than the laggards any way lose their steam.

Never sell the Enterprise…

The markets are facing rough time but the ray of hope lies in the growth story. The markets are likely to bounce back to new levels and even cross the High in the months to come as the dust will settle after two quarters. The India’s economy growth is intact and the corporate performance will improve in future. The internal consumption is huge and the breadth is increasing by strength.

The Nifty is strong at 4500-4600 levels. The range suggested earlier (5200 to 6300) is still a valid range as the FII’s have heavily from 19th Sep-07 to 16th Oct-07, invested at the 4500-5700 Nifty levels. The FII out flow is a cause of concern at this point in time but not at all a worry some event.

So long Reliance stays above 2430-50 level, ICICI stays above 1035-29 level and the ONGC stays above 1000-990, SBI stays above 2020 and the Bharti stays above 810 level the markets enjoy the bulls support. Small aberrations through opportunity to buy but not to sell.The HDFC, HDFC bank, RCOM, REL, NTPC, SAIL, Tata Steel are going to catch up in future. The Techs are bottomed out and they have limited space left to correct. The correction could not change the bottom supports of ITC and HUL. The rest any way change their weight age time and again as they could through no material impact on the Nifty levels.

The immediate support levels for Nifty are at 5080 and can easily touch 5680 with or with out global cues that can favour our markets. The US recession will become a boon to us as they out- source services to products. The Auto and auto components business will benefit in future will get favourable news from June-08. The bad period may last for 6-9 months; consider this as an opportunity for a fine consolidation period and an excellent base for the next boom. The market participants know that markets observe periods of consolidation and a vertical rise cannot last longer.

So Never sell the growth story of the enterprise but sell the stock at higher levels and re-enter at the lower levels. The investment at higher levels is a valid proposition for the operator as it could through some opportunity to offload large chunk of holding but not for the small/retail investor. “Never chase stocks - Never miss a Growth Stock”.
