department has slapped the group with a Rs 900 Crore tax bill
The stock of Hindustan Const (Rs 41) might see some relief as the group has called off a merger of its subsidiaries following resistance by some key share holders.We advice investors in Spice Communications to exit the stock at Rs 86 to Rs 90 levels, as the stock has moved up more than 200 percent in the past week
Aditya Birla Nuvo (Rs 451.10): Sell
We recommend a sell in Aditya Birla Nuvo from a short-term trading perspective. It is apparent from the charts of the stock that it has been on an intermediate-term downtrend from its August 2008 peak of Rs 1,422. Moreover, the stock has been on a long-term downtrend from its January 2008 peak at Rs 2,500. Since then, the stock has been forming lower peaks and lower troughs.
In mid-January, the stock resumed its intermediate downtrend by breaching the 21-and 50-day moving averages. Daily and weekly relative strength indexes are featuring in the bearish zone. The price rate of change indicator is also featuring in the negative territory, indicating selling pressure. The daily moving average convergence and divergence is steadily declining in the negative territory.
Considering that the intermediate-term down trendline continues to be intact, we are bearish on the stock from a short-term horizon. We anticipate the stock to decline until it hits our price target of Rs 405. Traders with short-term perspective can sell the stock while maintaining a stop-loss at Rs 473.

Nifty positive opening as said yesterday
Nifty has formed a strong bear candle, closing below
the lows of Friday. This indicates fresh weakness. For
the coming session, although a positive opening
cannot be ruled out on the basis of global cues, we
need to watch if the Nifty sustains above 2800 levels.
Failure to hold these levels would continue the
downward move.

We recommend a sell on Tata Tea from a short-term trading perspective. It is evident from the charts of Tata Tea that it had been on a medium-term uptrend between late November 2008 and mid January 2009 when it moved from Rs 430 to Rs 635. The stock almost gained 47 per cent during this period. This up move of the stock retraced exactly 38.2 per cent (fibonacci retracement level) of its prior downtrend.
The stock has a significant long-term resistance between Rs 635 and Rs 650. It encountered resistance at Rs 635, and lost its bullish momentum. Subsequently the stock breached its medium-term up trendline and 21-day moving average. The daily relative strength index (RSI) is falling in the neutral region towards the bearish zone.
Moreover, the price rate of change indicator has entered in to the negative territory that indicates increase in selling pressure. We are bearish on the stock from a short-term horizon. We expect the stock to decline further until it hits our price target of Rs 534. Traders with short-term perspective can sell the stock while maintaining a stop-loss at Rs 618.

Nifty buy in dips
RIL and RNRL will be in focus post the Bombay High Court order. Auto and cement companies will hog the limelight as they release monthly sales data. Satyam will continue to see action based on the news-flow
Realty stocks were one of the major gainers among the sectoral indices and the stocks in this sector are likely to correct this morning. DLF should attract some buying interest on the news that it is planning to divest some of its businesses to maintain financial stability going forward.
Metal stocks like SAIL , Hindalco and Sterlite Ind have witnessed some action one volume front and we recommend taking long term positions in this stocks if you are looking for gains in the medium term. One can look at doing sme bottom fishing in this space on weakness today.
Indiabulls securities Rs 22, is worth keeping an eye for short term traders, as the company might surprise the share holders with buy back proposal at a decent price. Praj Ind, is another stock to keep on radar ahead of its Q3 numbers later today. Overall, a flt market with a negative bias, atleast in the morning session. It is not a bad idea for intraweek traders to take positions if the market gives up more than 2 percent

History Of SENSEX
History Of SENSEX
For the premier Stock Exchange that pioneered the stock broking activity in India, 128 years of experience seems to be a proud milestone. A lot has changed since 1875 when 318 persons became members of what today is called 'The Stock Exchange, Mumbai' by paying a princely amount of Re.1/-.
Since then, the country's capital markets have passed through both good and bad periods. The journey in the 20th century has not been an easy one. Till the decade of eighties, there was no scale to measure the ups and downs in the Indian stock market. The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) in 1986 came out with a stock index that subsequently became the barometer of the Indian stock market.
SENSEX is not only scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted construction and review methodology. First compiled in 1986, SENSEX is a basket of 30 constituent stocks representing a sample of large, liquid and representative companies. The base year of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100. The index is widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic media.
The Index was initially calculated based on the 'Full Market Capitalization' methodology but was shifted to the free-float methodology with effect from September 1, 2003. The 'Free-float Market Capitalization' methodology of index construction is regarded as an industry best practice globally. All major index providers like MSCI, FTSE, STOXX, S&P and Dow Jones use the Free-float methodology.
Due to is wide acceptance amongst the Indian investors; SENSEX is regarded to be the pulse of the Indian stock market. As the oldest index in the country, it provides the time series data over a fairly long period of time (From 1979 onwards). Small wonder, the SENSEX has over the years become one of the most prominent brands in the country.
The growth of equity markets in India has been phenomenal in the decade gone by. Right from early nineties the stock market witnessed heightened activity in terms of various bull and bear runs. The SENSEX captured all these events in the most judicial manner. One can identify the booms and busts of the Indian stock market through SENSEX.
Calculation Methodology
SENSEX is calculated using the 'Free-float Market Capitalization' methodology. As per this methodology, the level of index at any point of time reflects the Free-float market value of 30 component stocks relative to a base period. The market capitalization of a company is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company. This market capitalization is further multiplied by the free-float factor to determine the free-float market capitalization.
The base period of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100 index points. This is often indicated by the notation 1978-79=100. The calculation of SENSEX involves dividing the Free-float market capitalization of 30 companies in the Index by a number called the Index Divisor. The Divisor is the only link to the original base period value of the SENSEX. It keeps the Index comparable over time and is the adjustment point for all Index adjustments arising out of corporate actions, replacement of scrips etc. During market hours, prices of the index scrips, at which latest trades are executed, are used by the trading system to calculate SENSEX every 15 seconds and disseminated in real time.
Scrip selection criteria
The general guidelines for selection of constituents in SENSEX are as follows:
Listed History:The scrip should have a listing history of at least 3 months at BSE. Exception may be considered if full market capitalisation of a newly listed company ranks among top 10 in the list of BSE universe. In case, a company is listed on account of merger/ demerger/ amalgamation, minimum listing history would not be required.
Trading Frequency:The scrip should have been traded on each and every trading day in the last three months. Exceptions can be made for extreme reasons like scrip suspension etc.
Final Rank:The scrip should figure in the top 100 companies listed by final rank. The final rank is arrived at by assigning 75% weightage to the rank on the basis of three-month average full market capitalisation and 25% weightage to the liquidity rank based on three-month average daily turnover & three-month average impact cost.
Market Capitalization Weightage:The weightage of each scrip in SENSEX based on three-month average free-float market capitalisation should be at least 0.5% of the Index.
Industry Representation:Scrip selection would generally take into account a balanced representation of the listed companies in the universe of BSE.
Track Record:In the opinion of the Committee, the company should have an acceptable track record.
Definition of Free-float
Share holdings held by investors that would not, in the normal course come into the open market for trading are treated as 'Controlling/ Strategic Holdings' and hence not included in free-float. In specific, the following categories of holding are generally excluded from the definition of Free-float:
Ø Holdings by founders/directors/ acquirers which has control element
Ø Holdings by persons/ bodies with 'Controlling Interest'
Ø Government holding as promoter/acquirer
Ø Holdings through the FDI Route
Ø Strategic stakes by private corporate bodies/ individuals
Ø Equity held by associate/group companies (cross-holdings)
Ø Equity held by Employee Welfare Trusts
Ø Locked-in shares and shares which would not be sold in the open market in normal course.
The remaining shareholders would fall under the Free-float category.
Understanding Free-float Methodology
Free-float Methodology refers to an index construction methodology that takes into consideration only the free-float market capitalization of a company for the purpose of index calculation and assigning weight to stocks in Index. Free-float market capitalization is defined as that proportion of total shares issued by the company that are readily available for trading in the market. It generally excludes promoters' holding, government holding, strategic holding and other locked-in shares that will not come to the market for trading in the normal course. In other words, the market capitalization of each company in a Free-float index is reduced to the extent of its readily available shares in the market.
In India, BSE pioneered the concept of Free-float by launching BSE TECk in July 2001 and BANKEX in June 2003. While BSE TECk Index is a TMT benchmark, BANKEX is positioned as a benchmark for the banking sector stocks. SENSEX becomes the third index in India to be based on the globally accepted Free-float Methodology.
Major advantages of Free-float Methodology
1) A Free-float index reflects the market trends more rationally as it takes into consideration only those shares that are available for trading in the market.
2) Free-float Methodology makes the index more broad-based by reducing the concentration of top few companies in Index. For example, the concentration of top five companies in SENSEX has fallen under the free-float scenario thereby making the SENSEX more diversified and broad-based.
3) A Free-float index aids both active and passive investing styles. It aids active managers by enabling them to benchmark their fund returns vis-a-vis an investable index. This enables an apple-to-apple comparison thereby facilitating better evaluation of performance of active managers. Being a perfectly replicable portfolio of stocks, a Free-float adjusted index is best suited for the passive managers as it enables them to track the index with the least tracking error.
4) Free-float Methodology improves index flexibility in terms of including any stock from the universe of listed stocks. This improves market coverage and sector coverage of the index. For example, under a Full-market capitalization methodology, companies with large market capitalization and low free-float cannot generally be included in the Index because they tend to distort the index by having an undue influence on the index movement. However, under the Free-float Methodology, since only the free-float market capitalization of each company is considered for index calculation, it becomes possible to include such closely held companies in the index while at the same time preventing their undue influence on the index movement.
5) Globally, the Free-float Methodology of index construction is considered to be an industry best practice and all major index providers like MSCI, FTSE, S&P and STOXX have adopted the same. MSCI, a leading global index provider, shifted all its indices to the Free-float Methodology in 2002. The MSCI India Standard Index, which is followed by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) to track Indian equities, is also based on the Free-float Methodology. NASDAQ-100, the underlying index to the famous Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) - QQQ is based on the Free-float Methodology.

Biocon
We recommend a ‘sell’ in Biocon for a short-term trading perspective. It is visible from the charts of Biocon that after finding support at its 52-week low of Rs 86 in late November 2008, it began to move up. This up move continued till the stock encountered resistance at around Rs 130 in early January. The stock reversed lower resuming its long-term downtrend. During this decline Biocon breached its 21 and 50-day moving averages and started loosing momentum. On January 27, the stock tumbled 7 per cent, reinforcing the bearish trend. A short-term downtrend is in force since early January. Both the daily and weekly relative strength index (RSI) are featuring in the bearish zone. The daily moving average convergence and divergence (MACD) indicator has entered in to the negative territory. Our short-term outlook is bearish for the stock.

Watch out for stocks in the banking sector especially ICICI Bank and Axis Bank as the euphoria in the financial stocks across the globe might rub on to these stocks.
Reliance Power might see some action on the news of bagging 4,000 MW Tilaiya project.
IT major TCS might see its share price rise after inking a $ 100mn deal with a Uk phone company.
Unitech and SAIL were very active both on the F&O and equity side and expect some more action ahead of the F&O expiry.
Real Estate and Shippingt stocks like GE Shipping and Varun Shipping are likely to extend their gains in to Thursday's trade.

Great Offshore
We recommend a buy in Great Offshore for a short-term horizon. It is evident from the charts of Great Offshore that after encountering resistance around Rs 550 in late September, it has seen a steep decline.
However, in early October, the stock found support around Rs 250 and began to consolidate sideways. We notice formation of a falling wedge pattern, spanning the period since October. This pattern is a bullish pattern and acts as a reversal pattern in this stock, as the falling wedge slopes down with its prevailing downtrend.
On January 28, the stock broke out of this pattern by gaining 13 per cent, accompanied with good volume. The daily relative strength index (RSI) is rising in the neutral region towards the bullish zone. Moreover, weekly RSI is displaying prolonged positive divergence and is on the brink of entering the neutral region. We are bullish on the counter from a short-term horizon. We anticipate the stock to move up until it hits our price target of Rs 283. Traders with short-term perspective can buy the stock while maintaining a stop-loss at Rs 243.

Buy ROLTA at 83.1 stop loss 80.5 target only to client
Short Term - Buy RNRL only above 51.5 stop loss 48.2 target only to client
We like Pharma, Metal and some second rung IT stocks for today's trade. Pharma stocks like Ranbaxy, Cipla and Wockhardt might see some buying interest today after a day in green yesterday.Tata Steel, Sterlite Ind and JSW Steel are our picks in the metals sector.
We recommend a trade in Rolta In (Rs 83) at current levels, as the stock has seen some speculative interest and looks ready for an upmove technically, as its broke some key technical levels on high volumes. Andhra Bank, Ballarpur Ind, Bartronics, BHEL and Cairn India are some of the stocks to keep on radar for the traders, as these companies will be reporting their Q3 numbers this week
