LOTS OF OTHER INTRA-DAY , BTST CALLS FOR OUR SUBSCRIBER'S ONLY
Watch for Power stocks and fertilizer stocks are expected to continue the rally. IT stocks should see some pressure. With budget round the corner downsides are capped and we have our Support level for Sensex at 17,240 levels.
Indian Markets though went down yesterday but we take few positives from the trade. Many stocks stopped moving with the market, given the cheap valuations. Midcaps are looking strong enough for two reasons.
1. Midcaps did not participate in the last 1000 point Sensex pull back rally
2. Relatively cheap valuations
Markets are likely to trade in a range today too but we might see euphoric moves from the midcap segment. Power stocks are likely to welcome the entry of Reliance Power next monday. These are no doubt difficult times and investors are adviced to reduce expectations on the returns given the bull run in the last 4 years. Irrespective of US recession few sectors are likely to race ahead. We strongly believe India will be least affected by the US recession.
