Trade Stock Specific,Midcaps on hot seat

Indian markets might open flat on global cues on Thursday morning, after coming off from highs of the day yesterday. Expect the benchmark index or Sensex to trade in range bound today. Midcap space is getting heated up. Although we have not seen a broad based move in Midcaps. There is very hight interest in select stocks.

Oil & Gas and FMCG stocks led the gainers yesterday with help from gains in ITC, ACC Ltd and Reliance Ind. While Technology, Banking and Realty stocks took a breather. The new listing Texmo pipes surged more than 54 percent on its first day and finished at Rs 138.60. We might see amove of another 10 bucks are so in this stock. We advice investors to stay away from this stock, as the company is overvalued at current levels, while traders can try their hand from an intraday perspective.

Our Pick (recommended to our subscribers at Rs 60) Man Ind vaulted more than 15 percent to finish at rs 77. The scrip might face some profit booking. Speculative stocks like Crew Bos and Global Vectra were very active in yesterday's dealings and it is not bad idea to keep distance from these scrips.Zylog Systems is one stock that stood out after upbeat comments from the CEO on acquistion in Canada. The stock spurted by 14 percent on huge volumes.

After Man Ind, we have come up with pick in Renewable Energy space that might give returns of more than 20 percent in the coming week. We like Nagarjuna Fert, IFCI and Hanung Toys from a 5-7 day perspective. Overall a good day for the bulls for especially the second and third rung stocks

Markets to trade in a narrow band

Major indices in Mumbai might coninue to stay in a narrow band for most of the day, as investors are wary of taking bets at higher levels and are undecided about the direction of the market going foward. Expect the benchmark index or the Sensex to trade in aband of 50 points for the day

We have witnessed some profit booking in Metals and PSU stocks with the sectoral indices losing nearly 1.5 percent each. Hindalco and Tata Steel pushed the Metals sector lower, while NMDC was the main culprit for the fall in PSU stocks, after the government has decided to fix the price band of the FPO between Rs 300 and Rs 350Tata Motors was another casualty among the index stocks giving up nearly 4 percent on the news that Auto major Daimler will offload its 5.3 percent stake in the company at a discount to the current market price.

Hanung Toys and Jubilant Foodworks led the gainers list and are looking relatively strong when compared to the other Midcap stocks. Prithvi Info has seen speculative activity and strong operator activity is not ruled out. We like Hangung Toys at Rs 156 level, as we believe that the company is fundamentally strong and fresh break out might suggest further upside after some consolidation at the current level of Rs 158. We see a target of Rs 200 in this stock, if the market maintains its momentum

Major indices to consolidate, Midcaps to shine

Nifty levels send by sms trade in fixes zone

Stocks on D-Street are likely to consolidate after a decent rally in the past 5 sessions. Expect the benchmark index or the Sensex to hover around the 17,000 mark for some time before making a decisive move. The global cues have been neutral and we at IndiaBears.com are of the opinion that this has set perfect platform for the Midcaps to shine in the next two trading sessions

Realty took a breather and was the only sector in red yesterday as investors booked profits in this sector after gains of over 5 percent in the last week.Auto and Banking stocks stole the show, led by Mahindra and Hero Honda, which gained 4 and 3 percent respectively. Banking was another space that looked explosive yesterday. Cement stock played catch up with ACC Ltd and Ambuja Cement garnering handy gains.

The market lacks triggers and there is no news on both sides to move the market. Midcaps is the space short term traders should look to. We might see some fireworks from this space today.Third rung stocks like Raj Television, Ajmera Realty and Global Vectra were among the high fliers. Mahindra Forgings continued to rise after M&M increased stake in the company at Rs 135 level.

We like Shipping stocks and investor should look at GE Shipping while it is worth taking an intra day position in Mercator Lines RS 60.75 might give a pleasant surprise to the upside. Mercator is my pick for the day today.Stay away from third rung counters and take some short term position sin quality Midcaps.

Stocks set to rally on bullish sentiment across the globe

Top Picks -Ongc,gail

Stocks in Mumbai are set to rise after taking a pause yesterday, following positive cues from the global markets. The indices are looking string after having taken a break yesterday. Expect the Sensex to gain nearly 1 percent or 170 points for the day.

Realty stocks continued to show strength in a lacklustre market yesterday. The realty sectoral index gained more than 2 percent for the day,led by gains in DLF and reliance Infra. Midcap and Small cap stocks stole the show and are likely to maintain their momentum today. The Midcap and Smallcap indices gained more than 0.5 percent even in a flat to negative day.

Auto Ancillary stocks, especially tyre stocks like JK Tyre and Ceat were among the top gainers yesterday with double digit percentage gains. We expect Apollo tyres as a catch up play in today's market. Other Infra Midcaps like Maytas Infra, ARSS Infra and Goldstone Infra were among the leaders in yesterday's trade, Realty was clearly the flavor of the day, and the party is likely to continue in to today's trade.

Overall a positive market for the day, with Midcaps dominating the show. We advice investors to stay away from stocks like Syncom Healthcare, ARSS Infra and Astec Life, while traders can try their luck in these scrips from an intraday perspective

Markets might take a breather after 3 days of gains

Nifty range 5045-5125

Stocks might take a breather fro their uptrend after 3 days of solid gains, on Thursday. We might see some profit booking coming in at the current levels, but a significant correction is not expected in the near term. Expect the benchmark index or the Sensex to trade in a band of 100 points with negative bias

As expected Realty stocks hogged the limelight followed by the stocks in oil sector.Jaiprakash Associates led the gainers with a 6 percent gain, while gains in Reliance boosted the Nifty and the Oil space.

The new listing ARSS infra made a stellar debut on the bourses on Wednesday with a gain of 67 percent in the first day. The scrip closed near the highs of the day at Rs 751 against the issue price of Rs 450.Book profits at Rs 800 level in ARSS Infra. As mentioned in our pre-market review, sugar stocks made a come back with KCP Sugars, Triveni Eng and Renuka Sugars gaining between 5 to 10 percent for the day.

Nectar Life, Aqua Logistics, Karnataka Bank and IndusInd Bank are some of the midcaps that are looking technically strong looking at Wednesday's trading pattern. We see the market taking a pause today and the trade might be lacklustre except few stock specific moves in the Midcap space.

Markets to maintain bullish momentum, but gains might be limited

Stocks in India might trade flat with a positive bias in morning session, after two days of big gains for the benchmark indices. Expect the Sensex to gain 0.5 percent or so for some time. Midcaps and Metal stocks might lead the gainers list.

Auto stocks took the center stage yesterday led by Tata Motors which gained more than 12 percent to end the day at Rs 797. Metal stocks were helped by handy gains in Hindalco and Tata Steel. The trend is likely to continue in Metals, while high beta stocks like Realty stocks might make a come back today.

Jet airways is one stock that looked explosive after a long time. The stock gained 15 percent on decent volumes. Further gains in this stock is not ruled out in the near term. Core Projects, Jain Irrigation and TVS Motors are other stocks that look technically posied for futher gains. Sugar is one sector that looks attractive to accumulate at current levels. We believe there is limited downside for these stocks from the current level and slowly accumulate these stocks, especially renula Sugar and Balrampur Chini for some good returns in the medium term.
