    Hi Sage,

    You have advised us to do a lot of research and pick small caps which can be potential multibaggers. Can you advice us how to go about this research..? I mean what all should we look at in order to identify these stocks..?

    Also is IVRCL a good buy..? If so, at what price?

    Thanx

    Dear Sage,

    Your stock ideas of Hindustan Zinc was excellant. Since already it was on high I didn’t buy and missed the bus. Today I have noticed that Hindalco open interest been increased more than 35% for this month future and interesting the stock price is down as well as the premium also down? Is it under shorts or going to move upward? Please suggest.

    Regards

      Make a shift towards more liquid stocks. In banking I like HDFC Bank, ICICI bank, PNB and SBI.

    • Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 6:36 am | #6

      I’d advise you to exit as the stock is bearish . Use the bounce in the stock to lighten up. If you wish to hold, keep a stop around 90 levels.

    Hi Sage,
    Need some advice on following.
    1)Holding Cairn at 285.Should I hold or sell – Need advice for short term.
    2)Should I Buy Bharti Airtel at CMP or wait for more fall?
    3)What’s your take on Satyam?.Can it reach 140-150 year end?

    Thank You.

    • Friday, November 20, 2009 at 5:21 pm | #9

      Cairn- Hold
      As I am not a bottom picker, I’d avoid Bharti. 250-270 might be a possible bottom for Bharti.
      Satyam has failed to work. I’d hold it till end of the year to see if it manages to cross 128. There is too much of news flow on the stock.

    • Friday, November 20, 2009 at 8:30 am | #14

      I’d suggest that you switch to some other pharma bet. The stock can slip to 20 levels once it falls below 25.

    Hi Sage, could you please tell me on buying of JSW/ Axis bank / Stirlite Industries & Tata motors. Which are the best among these. Thanx

    • Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 8:08 am | #19

      Sterlite looks set for 950-1000 in short term.
      Tata Motors is a slightly medium term bet with targets close to 750-800.
      JSW steel has already moved up and looks set to cross 1000.
      All these are good picks for riding the current uptrend.

      Among the names you mentioned, I like HCL Tech the most. The stock might give excellent returns in next 6 months- 1 year period (in excess of 40%).

    Hi Sage,
    I want to ask one generic question here about corporate actions section on BSE.
    Under that section we see the corporate benefits with EX DATE, i.e. those who buy the share one day before are entitled for benefit. Question is how to ensure that these details are correct? Can I sell them next day?

    • Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 8:19 am | #28

      I am not exactly clear about your question.
      But the details on BSE are those provided by the companies, that cannot be false.

      • SACHIN
        Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 9:51 am | #29

        Hi Sage,

        I want to know the way by which I can make use of those corporate benefits by buy-sell at no loss no profit.

        Buy share at price X before EX-DATE, sell on next day with price X+Brokerage(Both side).

        Is that possible? Need your confirmation and opinion…

    • Monday, November 16, 2009 at 9:17 am | #34

      I’d sell IFCI on rallies. The stock faces tough resistance in the 60 region. If the stock manages to break through that, we might see a sustained momentum on the upside.

    • Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 6:08 pm | #36

      technically looks great but the stock is going up on very low volumes. The risk is that it can hit lower circuits with low volumes.
      Fundamentally, this is a stock with lots of “red flags”. You can trade this stock but keep a 20-30% stop loss to protect your downside.

    • Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 11:26 pm | #61

      HDIL is a good bet while Indiabulls is a good exit on every bounce.
      HDIL can move up to 410 in short term and if it manages to sustain the uptrend then even 650-700 is not ruled out in slightly long term.

    • Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 10:59 pm | #63

      UCO Bank is still a decent bet for next 3-4 weeks while IFCI is more news based and faces a lot of challenges.
      GVK needs to get past 50-52 levels before it can pick real momentum. Fundamentally I am not too much excited with the stock as there are many better bets available in the market. But this can be a decent short term bet for next couple of weeks.

      It is a high risk high gain stock. Looks some operator activity in the stock as the stock is hitting upper and lower circuits regularly. Upper circuit might entice you to buy but also imagine getting stuck in the lower circuit and not being able to exit!

    • Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 8:53 am | #83

      Depends on your time frame. Telecom sector is going to go through a rough patch in next 6 months – 1 year. It is very likely that Bharti might come out a winner but one also needs to see the cost at which that happens. In the meantime, the stock might fall even more from current levels. it is very likely that the stock hits 240-250 range soon. I’d wait a bit more to see how the telecom game is played out. The stock shall take its time to bottom out. Just in case, the stock becomes available at very cheap valuations, it might become a value play.

      I’d hold Rolta but exit Bartronics. You can keep a stop of 130 on Bartronics and sell the stock on every bounce till 150.

    Dear Sir,

    L&T got order for Rs.6897 Crore of Power Plant and their Profit is also increased. Likewise GRASIM who is monopoly for Viscose Staple Fibre also made steep profit.

    I think some crocodiles in the market purposely bringing down these shares to purchase from the small investors at bottom level. Afterwards they will sell at high level and book profit.

    Otherwise, it will not go so bottom level. These white collar executives also dance as per the music of these crocodiles.

    What do you feel Mr.Sage?

    • Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 4:02 pm | #104

      Mr. Rao- You seem to be little upset at your stock’s underperformance.
      On L&T and Grasim, you have to be a patient investor. these are not like Unitech/Suzlon that move 10% in a day.
      Grasim(along with other cement stocks) are looking bearish. Infact, I had booked my losses in ACC sometime back.
      L&T’s problem is order execution and valuation rather than “order book”.

    Hi Sage,

    Can you provide some insights on What are the current reasons for fall of Suzlon?
    What can be the Bottom.
    I have already incurred so much loss in this stock that I have assumed that I never ever had that money with me. Just want your confirmation to erase the memories of the same.

    If I try to remember about this money after 2 -4 yrs will it be a pleasant surprise?

    • Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 5:37 pm | #110

      The company has loads of debt and the business is not generating significant cash to service that debt. I need to analyse the company in details to find the triggers for “turnaround”. If the business environment doesn’t improve fast enough, the company will die quickly!
      It is very difficult to determine the bottom for the stock. 35 might be the level to watch out for.

    • Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 3:40 pm | #120

      In the short term, all these stocks look bearish.
      JP associates might be the only stock that looks somewhat better.
      Unitech, if it breaks 80 can skid to 70 and 60 levels pretty quickly.

    Your feedback is relly working out. Please provide your inputs for the below.
    Entry price for the stocks Neyveli lignite, dena bank and hindalco for short term trade (3 to 4 months).

    Thanks for your help.

    Warm Regards,
    Eashwari.S

    • Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 3:48 pm | #124

      Dena Bank-
      Hindalco- Around 100 might be a decent bet for a bounce.
      Lignite- I’d avoid the stock for long term but a short term bounce can be expected around 100-105 levels
      Dena Bank -45-50 is a good support for the stock and provides decent entry point.

    28 Oct 2009. Hi Sage, Jet airways declared a Loss on 27 Oct 2009, the last 2 days the markets are trending downwards, Just trying to understand what pushed it to the top today (8.8%)?

    • Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 6:47 pm | #126

      Jet is the classic case of shareholder value destruction!I am not aware of the recent rise in the stock. Also, there is nothing to cheer about in the recent results. May be if the stocks is available at 100-150 bucks, it might become a value play! Otherwise, it is best to trade the stock at suitable times for 10-20% gains.

    Hi Sage,
    Whats up with these real estate stocks DLF and Unitech, both of them came down today.
    I have unitech @ 102, is some more downside left in it. Can it bounce back even if it is in a month or two?

    Thanks
    Rahul

    • Monday, October 26, 2009 at 7:24 pm | #130

      DLF fell on the news of some income tax notice. Unitech has lost momentum and I’d avoid the stock from short to medium term perspective. DLF showed a lot of promise but today’s crack has taken away the short term uptrend that was developing. Still DLF looks the one of the best picks in the real estate.

    Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 1:30 pm | #164

    I just wonder why RIL is not moving up even after completion of two major project succesfully and declaring 1:1 bonus? OK – refinning margins came down, economy is just turning up etc etc. But, it was in anticipation of completion of these projects, RIL was above 3200/- during the peak. I think sentimental damage / uncertenity on a/c of Gas War has spoiled all Reliance scrips (including ADAG) and to lesser extend market in general. Even in worst case senario, RIL set to make profit at a lesser pace, hence not much material damage to RIL. Looks like a good buy @ CMP? Kindly avise.

    Thanks

    • Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 5:46 pm | #165

      At some point of time RIL will be used to drive the NIFTY. You are correct in observing that investors are shying away from the stock due to the ongoing court case with RNRL. No trader will bet big on the stock till that event is over!
      The stock will turn out to be a good bet if energy prices continue their uptrend. With the economic recovery in sight, we might again see $100 on oil pretty soon.

    As a medium term holder should I Hold or Sell.

    Also need your opinion on JP Associates.
    Thanks in advance.

      I have booked partial profits in JP associates and riding the rest of the position. The stock still has the potential to reach 300.
      Cairn Energy is a pure play on crude oil. If crude sustains the up trend, you will see higher levels on the stock despite analysts’ opinions.

    • Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 5:54 pm | #185

      The stock needs to do a lot of ground work before buying comes back into the stock. Also in the current market, investors want to look at “growth stocks” rather than turnaround stories.
      The market will reject companies with a “weak balance sheets” and who are constantly looking to raise money!

    Dear Sage,
    What will be the range for DLF in short term?

    Thanks

    • Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 9:42 pm | #188

      If markets cross 5300 , then DLF can reach 600. 410-415 is a good base for the stock.

      Please help me by suggesting what should I do?
      I understand the qtr result is out, still no movement in the price.

      Thanking you in advance.

      Warm regards,

      • Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 5:04 pm | #191

        If you bought for short term, then 45 should be your stop.

    • Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 9:47 pm | #193

      ideally your stop should have been 56-57.
      Now a stop of 52 is appropriate. Below that a slip to 47 is not ruled out.

    How is 3i Infotech Looking ? Can i buy at this level with IT sector getting a revival at the same time , rupee raising currently…any info on targets will surely help

    • Monday, October 19, 2009 at 10:26 pm | #195

      To be honest with you, although IT stocks are still in an uptrend, I am trimming my positions and are not advising fresh buys (may be some short term traders here and there). The stocks have run up a lot and we are in the process of taking money off the table. My sense is that the stocks will lose some momentum and may trade sideways.
      The prime reason for the same is rupee appreciation. I see some real good rupee appreciation in next 1-2 years!So it is a macro level call.
      You’d have noted that I was bearish on Infosys in 2007 and I have been very bullish on it since the start of this rally. Now I am turning neutral.

      Why do you feel like buying 3i infotech now? I am just curious to understand your reasons.
      Personally, I might trade the stock for good 15-20% moves but might not be interested in a long term bet.

      • Bala
        Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 10:39 pm | #196

        I agree with you . Its a bit late to enter the counter . The reasons i thought were pure fundamentals. 3i being a IT product company available at decent valuations and also could be a potential acquisition target

    Hi Sage,

    What would you suggest to do with PTC & Petronet coming week..? You think they are good buys for now..?

    Appreciate your response. Thanks.

    • Monday, October 19, 2009 at 10:18 pm | #198

      Yes, I have myself bought some PTC. I am looking for 130+ on the stock with stops around 95. You might find it a bit more risky but as a trader I like such momentum plays.

    Dear Sage,
    I have 250 Sesagoa @135/- (average) which I am holding for 12-15 mths. I am a long term investor and generally putting in money from the saving which need not to be touched for 5 years or more. Should I hold it or book profit now.(Most of my other stocks are in loss except RIL, Aban etc but over all I am in 20% profit)

    Thanks.

    • Monday, October 19, 2009 at 3:09 pm | #201

      The stock is having a parabolic run. Two options for you-
      Option 1- Ride the uptrend till the stock starts to reverse.
      Option 2- Book partial profits(say sell 30-50% of quantity) and ride the rest.
      It is never a good idea to sell your winners and keep your losers!So ride this to the moon.
      If your losers are not moving,you might want to give more attention to them!

    premier ltd. 57sh@175

    • Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 4:46 pm | #215

      Mcdowell- The stock needs to get past 100. Otherwise, it shall stay in range.Still bearish in long term.You can choose to cut your losses here and invest in something else. have a re-look at the stock after it gets past 100.
      Taneja- Again the stock is a 30-50 range. I’d exit the stock now and ride the trend somewhere else.
      Premier- I had suggested a long on this stock couple of weeks back and you should hold this stock.Possibility of 200+ on this stock is bright.

    Hi Sage :)
    I need your inputs to invest in Mutual funds for Tax savings. Please suggest, if i should go ahead and invest now or wait for couple of months?

    As well, Please suggest me a Plan in your mind for a time span of 25 years. Thanks :)

    • Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 4:58 pm | #230

      I’d suggest that you invest now as your investments might be locked for 3 years.
      I don’t have a plan for 25 years but you can make plan to make 15%+ on your investments every year. That should multiply 1 lakh to your 33 lakh.
      If you manage to do it at 20%, then your 1 lakh shall be worth 95 lakhs.
      So it is better to be conservative and invest in different assets to achieve your target return.

In fact I have seen few times where in you suggest a stock first and then in next few days its there in all TV channels and other places but y that time the stock would have already moved by 4-10% from your suggested price.

    What would be your opinion.

    • Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at 5:21 pm | #248

      Hold and keep a stop at 65. There is a probability of a short term rebound.
      One general suggestion which might help you- Before you buy any stock, make sure you understand the “reasons” why you are in. If those reasons are not valid any more, then you simply exit. otherwise, you might be left stuck with a big loser.

    • Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at 5:24 pm | #250

      Cement has disappointed so far. You can buy keeping a stop around 155. If the stock doesn’t move up in next 2-3 weeks, you simply exit.
      As your time frame is 3-4 months, you can take a bet. Had it been 3-5 weeks, I’d have advised to avoid this stock.

    I could notice that plenty of block deals happen in ICICI Bank at the closing hours. It seems FII & MF been buying heavily on this. Is it advisable to enter at current price for short term gain?

    • Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 10:14 pm | #261

      My medium term targets were 970-1000. They might be reached. If they don’t, you get out with a small loss.
      ( I do not buy based on block deals as FIIs/MFs can be as dumb as the retail investors. All of us know what happened to MFs and FIIs in 2008.)

    Dear Sage,
    we cannot time the stock market, as they say. i have few stocks in mind which i would like to buy for a longterm, between 4 to 5 Years or for value, such that the stocks appreciates more than 60% to 70% in 3 to 4 years. i would like to know fundamentally what would be ideal price range to enter and buy these stocks in the next 6 months. the stocks are BHEL, HDFC, RIL, STERLITE, AMBUJA CEMENTS, TCS, ONGC,GE SHIPPING, SBI, VOLTAS, EDUCOMP, NESTLE, SUN PHARMA and CIPLA. are these stocks good ones to buy and hold for a long term. will there be any major corrections in the near term say in the next 3 to 4 months (for a better buy). or will there be another crash (night mare)like the one in 2008.
    i will be very happy to hear from you.
    Thanks once again.

    • Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 5:09 pm | #263

      Couple of thoughts:
      -On what basis have you selected these scrips?
      -There are certain contradictions in what you are thinking. One one hand you say that stock markets can not be timed whereas on the other hand you ask if there will be a 2008 like crash in the future (prediction). Is there an intent to time the markets?

      Too early to say if it is bullish. The stock needs to stay bullish for couple of more sessions and needs to make an attempt to cross 85. Otherwise, a move back to 60 is on the cards.

      The stock has a very strong uptrend. I remember seeing the stock at 40 odd levels back in June-July. Entry at this level can be more risky as more and more people jump on to the bandwagon. (Look what happened with HOEC)
      So for entry at this level, you have to cover your tracks and put a stop loss at around 150. This stock can easily go to 300+ or fall back to 50. To summarise, if you are not a disciplined trader, it might be better to avoid this beauty.

      Kushal- This is basically a crap stock.
      Next targets are 7.5 and 10. Put a stop around 4.5 although such stocks never give a chance to exit if they start hitting down circuits. Such stocks are “real suckers”. So I tend to avoid such circuit hitting stocks.

    Hi sage

    I am a long-term investor. I want to know what would be the appropriate time to enter the mkts now. Can we expect some 10-20% correction in near term.

    • Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 10:51 am | #277

      I do not and cannot predict corrections. I believe in “reacting” to corrections. Right now the scepticism is too much. I have been hearing these constant rumours of markets falling after Diwali and all. As an investor, stay away from these rumours. I first heard in July that Sensex will fall back to 11000 and look what happened.
      while a 10-20% correction cannot be ruled out, the probability of it happening in Dec-Jan time frame is much higher.(just speaking statistically).
      Finding value in this market is going to be tough. A lot of value was there when NIFTY was below 3000. Now it is more about momentum.

    hi,

    i am holding two future lots of bharti airtel @ 385. whether my purchase price will be reached.

    It will be great if could let me know the due date bharti q2 results.

    Further, for my undertanding i wish to know that airtel was underperforming due to MTN deal ( i.e its price shd be around 500 comparing its peers corresponding price to NIFTY). Now, due to per second concept it is again underperforming whithout reviving its corresponding price. Why airtel is hit by a double whammy.

    • Monday, October 12, 2009 at 8:10 pm | #281

      Telecom stocks in general have been hit due to “price wars”. Already ARPUs were under pressure and with so much of new competition (Unitech Wireless,Shyam telecom etc.) , the market has grown sceptical of the sector.
      The stock fell badly because a lot of people were long on the stock. 370 should have been your stop loss if you bought at 385. Trading futures w/o guidance and knowing your risk is like playing with fire!
      Trading is all about “present” and managing your risk.
      As far as Bharti is concerned, I am looking to short the stock on every rise. if the stock crosses, 370 then you might see 380. Otherwise, it is better to cut your losers and trade something else to recover your losses. If you get tend to get stuck with a single trade, then you should not be in this game.
      Tell me what will you do if NIFTY falls by 100 points and Bharti falls by another 10% !
      (Not trying to scare you but making you aware of the risks)

      The stock is still bearish and I’d stay away from the stock. There is a good chnace that the stock breaks 60 and goes to 55 and 45.
      If you want to trade for short term ,keep a stop around 60.

      This might be the right time to book partial profits in IT sector.
      Banking sector is still doing fine and is likely to move higher.
      Real estate stocks like Unitech are decent bets but they are very volatile stocks.so one should not be overweight on these stocks.

      I have been bearish on Suzlon from a long term perspective. if the markets correct a bit more Suzlon can slide to 70 and then even 50. In the current market, you can find many better choices for next 6-9 months. Look out for FMCG, auto ,Pharma or Banking sector.

    Dear Sage,
    i am a longterm investor with a time horizon of 5 Years. i want to build a portifolio of some good companies may be 10 to 15 Max, across sectors. i had invested a few lakhs and lost much during the 2008 market crash. i have learnt a lesson from this crash and i need your suggestion on some of the good stocks in the current scenario to buy and hold for long term (5 Yrs) by fresh entry to market from now onwards in the next 3 to 4 months. first, is this a good approach ? even my earlier investment were for long term but some where before the midway the market crashed and went into loss heavily. many of the companies are much below their high’s. and some good stocks got thro’ IPO allotments are quoting below the issue price. i cannot get away from this (stock market) also, as i have seen the markets and understand the ups and downs and many times i very much tempted to enter into the market. my goal is to double the invested amount in the next 4 to 5 years, (from this 10 to 15 stocks).
    OR
    this could not be the approch to play in stock market and one has to buy and sell continuosly to make money in stock market? and in that case is Mutual Fund the best option for a ong term investor.
    i will be very happy to hear from you.
    Thanks Once again.

    • Friday, October 9, 2009 at 7:04 am | #323

      Before 2008 crash, anyone could have easily sold you “buy and hold” strategy. With today’s globally integrated markets, the risks are too high. You can still build a 10-15 stock portfolio for next 3-5 years but you need to monitor and evaluate that portfolio on a regular basis. this is because all the 10-15 stocks you choose might not perform according to expectations.
      Even if you invest in mutual funds, you have to monitor the broader market moves so as to plan your exits. In mutual funds, I think index investing works the best. This is because 80-90% of MFs underperform the main indices and charge huge fees. Which means that you invest in a few “index funds” that track the NIFTY.
      I don’t think it is necessary to be a short term trader to make money. Infact some of the better trades I had were held for more than 1 year. It all depends on your own mental style. If you find it too stressful, you should never indulge into it.
      If you wish to invest for slightly longer term, then next 3-4 months might not be right for you.(again depend on market trend). Ideally a long term investor like you should wait for a mini-crash and then put his money.
      Finally – you have to understand that there are no “right ” answers in investing and that’s why it is so challenging.

    sir plz can u suggest me a scrip between sterlite industries, IFCI, or spice jet. sir sterlite is already up so is it wise to buy now. ans sir can u suggest that should i buy Deccan cronicle holdings at this time.

    • Wednesday, October 7, 2009 at 8:09 am | #347

      IFCI went up and is now back in consolidation mode. The stock is still a good bet for medium to long term.
      Sterlite is a good bet in short term as well as medium term. It is a pure bet on commodities.

    Hi Sage,

    I have 100 IDFC @ 155 and 200 Mercator @ 60, 50 Bharti airtel @ 430.
    What should be my action?
    Should i wait or exit?
    I am a short term trader.

    • Monday, October 5, 2009 at 10:38 pm | #352

      Exit Bharti as the stock is no longer bullish.
      I have a bullish call on IDFC
      Mercator- Will pick up after 65 only. The stock is in 50-65 range

    Hi Sage, I had query about HAWKINS COOKER. i totally missed it out during the rally and tracking it from 400 and above.The company is just excellent. Brand name, relatively few competitors ( Prestige- gone into real estate business), continuous five years of increasing EPS, less debt, really good ROE and ROCE and on top of that cool dividend yield.
    My question is -can it be a multi-bagger from CMP?

    • Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 7:31 pm | #365

      Excellent pick. Infact, the stock never went into a bearish trend during 2008! The stock can still be a multibagger.

    • Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 6:23 am | #371

      If you invested for a longer to medium term, you might not have to worry. if you invested for a very short term, then we might have to see how the market behaves in next 2-3 sessions.

  191. Saturday, October 3, 2009 at 12:04 pm | #372

    Dear sir ,i have DCB @42 .what is the future for this stock,good for long term?

    • Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 6:29 am | #373

      The stock lacks momentum in the short to medium term and will pick up only after it manages to cross 50.
      In the medium term the stock is fine and can be held with stop losses of 35.
      In the long term, I’d still avoid the stock till it shows some clear uptrend (similar to an ICICI or SBI or HDFC bank)

    • Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 6:34 am | #375

      It is good that you just want to trade the stock rather than hold it for long. Stock like these only rise in bull markets and fall like nine pins in a bear market.
      Currently the stock is not a good candidate for momentum trading but it is near the low end of its 7-12 range. So you can buy keeping a stop at 6.70 and trade the bounce back.
      For trading short term momentum, there are many other rockets available in the market. Better to pick one of those.

    • Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 6:52 am | #378

      Going to 200 depends on market momentum. I’d keep a target of 140-150 in a month or two if trends remain intact.
      Keep stops around 90.

    • Wednesday, October 7, 2009 at 8:12 am | #380

      Hold HCC for a target of 150
      Areva has a short term target of 350. In the long term, the stock is sideways.

    • Friday, October 2, 2009 at 10:29 pm | #382

      The stock is in a 140-180 range. Currently the stock has a downward bias. A fall below 140 can take the stock back 110-120. A breakout above 180 will take it to 210.
      I would stay away from the stock right now and wait for a clear trend to emerge.

      The stock is very likely consolidate between 1200-1400 level for sometime before moving up.
      Just in case, market momentum remains intact,you might see even 1550 and 1700 on the stock.

      the stock can see even lower levels. I’d advise you to switch to a better counter. The stock has fallen from 300 to 50 and continues to fall.
      The stock is trading at all time lows, so there are no supports on the downside.The stock had the potential for a free fall.

      hold DCHL.
      if you are a medium term player than keep a stop at 90. If you are short term player keep a stop around 105.
      On the upside 170 and 2225-230 are likely targets in short and medium term.

      The stock is a bit dodgy in the long term and you can find better stocks in the cable sector.

    • Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 7:00 am | #445

    PLEASE ADVISE WHAT TO DO? SHALL I BOOK THE PROFIT OR HOLD FOR SOME TIME.

    • Friday, September 25, 2009 at 12:07 pm | #449

      The stock is at all time high and has no targets as such. It can go much much higher. So hold it till it starts to reverse.

    Friday, September 25, 2009 at 10:28 am | #450

    What about buying Peninsula Land Ltd. @ Rs. 82?

    • Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 6:51 am | #451

      In short term keep a stop at 65. Targets could be 95-100

    Hi Sage,

    Please suggest about Austral coke & Projects Ltd. The stock is down by 36% in Last 10 trading sesssions. The day trading volume is also very high. Should i take a long position @ Rs. 22 for a target of Rs. 30.

    Regards

    • Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 12:58 am | #471

      Praneetha- I’d avoid Bharti as the news flow is too much and makes the stock very volatile. if you get it around 360-370, it might be good to enter for a trading bounce.

    Hi, I have 400GMRINFRA @143.40, 800MICROTECH @137, 200Raymond@222 and 200Glenmark@222.

    Should I hold on these or exit

    Thanks

    • Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at 10:10 pm | #477

      Suresh- Here is what I think (short to medium term perspective):
      Glenmark is in a deep mess, so I’d avoid/exit the stock.
      Microtech if it manages to get past 170, 200-220 will be on cards pretty quickly. Looks a decent bet in medium term.
      GMR – The stock is sideways and won’t pick up till the buyers take it past the 150-160 range. So I’d exit now and reconsider when momentum picks up.

    • Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at 9:41 pm | #479

      Keep a stop at 7.5. the stock has lost short term momentum and needs to cross 10-11 to reach 13+. Below 7.5 it can quickly slip to 5.

      If u want to buy short term, keep a stop at 250. for longer term, a stop around 215 is more suitable.

      It is difficult to say which will be in uptrend. Focus on sectors and stocks which are in current uptrend. Focus your energies on reacting to market moves rather than predicting market moves. Look how IT, auto and banking has been moving steadily over the past few months.

    I am a short term trader.
    Thanks in advance.

    • Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 5:57 pm | #494

      You probably picked a wrong scrip for short term trading. Marico is a defensive scrip so this might not move as fast as other momentum plays.
      The stock is a good long term buy but might not be great short term pick as the it is spending time in consolidation. Pick it up again when it gathers some momentum.

    Please Do reply.
    Vikas

    • Monday, September 21, 2009 at 6:17 pm | #518

      Vikas- RFID and Smart card technologies can be provided by global players like IBM also. I have not done any valuation exercise on Bartronics but can tell you how the stock looks technically.
      The stock looks a decent medium term bet and I see a target of 200 and 250 very much on the cards. A stop at 150 is very reasonable.

    • Monday, September 21, 2009 at 6:25 pm | #523

      Hold Aban. the company is raising equity to reduce debt and if the oil price continues the uptrend, higher levels(2000 and 2500) on aban are on the cards.
      BPCL- Ride with a stop at 475. stock is very volatile and not good for short term trading.

    • Monday, September 21, 2009 at 2:18 pm | #525

      Richa- To be honest I exited the stock around 70 last week as we entered around 60 and had made 15%+ in a week.
      the stock is still good for medium term and you might see 80-85 in next few weeks if the uptrend remains intact. My only concern- too many people have bought the stock on bonus news. I usually reduce my position/sell the stock on such rumours.
      So please keep a stop at around 60, just in case the stock starts to reverse sharply.

      whats the buzz and what are the targets being talked out?
      Although I stay away from market rumours, it is good to know about them. We had traded this giant mover last time also in 2007. Moves very sharply!I remember that it had moved from 50 to 350 in two flat months back in 2007.
      Currently, it is a sleeping giant. If you are an aggressive trader, you can buy now keeping a stop at 140-45 for a 200 target in next 4-7 weeks.

    • sagecapital
      Sunday, September 20, 2009 at 11:39 pm | #539

      Your entry in Hindalco was a bit off. So the stock carries a higher risk for you. My subscribers have already made 30%+ on the stock as it was recommended close to 110. So it carries less risk for such traders. The stock is still in a buy mode for longer term investors.
      Reliance is a good hold but keep a stop at 2000.
      Opto is again a decent hold but from a longer term perspective. In short term the stock might just consolidate a bit.
      Pantaloon is gain a hold but stock needs to get past 350 for a target of 400-420.

      It is important to have right entries and exits if you are a short term trader. Without that you might be relying a lot more on your luck!

      Value buying should have been done when sensex was below 10k. It is very difficult to say as to when Rpower will actually create value for its shareholders. We shall play the stock here and there for some quick momentum gains. For long term, I’d still avoid the stock.

      Abhi- DCHL has major supports around 90-95. The upside target is around 135-140. The stock is a good medium to long term bet. You might have to be a little patient with the stock.

      Manish- We have discussed so many stocks on the blog. Pick any. I am still in process of analysing the stocks for coming weeks. Infact, there are many stocks that are looking good for short to medium term.

      Akhilesh- you have been patient with a loser for so long. Why do you wish to be impatient with a winner? If you feel the risk is too high, then keep a stop at 250.
      I personally feel that the stock can even trend higher. I’ suggest that you continue to hold the stock till it reverses sharply.

    • sagecapital

      Finolex- Buy above 47-48 for a target of 57-58 and then 70+. Till it crosses 47-48, the stock shall remain sideways.
      Artson- Buy keeping a stop at 44. It is a risky stock so be cautious. Buy in small quantity if you wish to take a punt.

    Friday, September 18, 2009 at 3:27 pm | #568

    Hi Sage, Please reply to my query. Below r the risky stocks in my portfolio. Please advise on these. All r going down these days. Should i exit immediatly or can wait till diwali for some uptrend.

    10 EDUCOMP @ 4224
    100 ADSL @ 447
    200 PHOENIX MILLS @ 479
    100 BGR Energy @ 455

    • sagecapital
      Saturday, September 19, 2009 at 7:27 pm | #569

      Laya- I’d hold these stocks if you are a slightly long term investor/trader (4 months+). If you are a short term trader, then you need to have stops to cover your risk. You can never take such stocks for granted. They move up sharply and reverse sharply in the short term.

  292. Satish
    Friday, September 18, 2009 at 1:09 pm | #570

    Pls. suggest which is the best stock from below three for short term or medium term and also according to you when should I buy this stock. 1) Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd., 2) TCS & 3) Oracle Financial Services Software Ltd.

    Thanks in advance

    • sagecapital
      Saturday, September 19, 2009 at 7:23 pm | #571

      All look great. the choice depends on your personal portfolio risk and diversification. Dr. Reddy might have more juice in the short term. Actually I had suggested the stock to my subscribers last week around 820-830 levels. Some move has already happened and some juice might still be left.
      I like TCS and oracle also- have traded these many times in the recent past. Oracle is part of long term portfolios.

    • sagecapital
      Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 11:49 pm | #575

      A scrip going down in a market moving up -what does this tell you? Do you think the scrip will move up when markets start to correct?

    • sagecapital
      Friday, September 18, 2009 at 7:42 am | #576

      Raj – Fortis is very volatile and can even touch 95-100 in a correction. On the upside it faces challenge in the 120+ range. If you remain patient with the stock, you might see some gains.

    I m holding 950 shares of Gujarat Nre Coke avg @55 from last one year.You suggested me once it will cross its resistance level 60 then it will move to 72-75 ,it has crossed its resistance level reached (71.4) and CMP(67.6).But from past two days it is going down and seems to me some bonus shares & dividend news are there.So please suggest what to do now?

    • sagecapital
      Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 6:30 pm | #584

      Simple mantra- sell on news and rumours. When others are willing to buy the news, you sell your stuff to them. This is the reason why I entered at 60-61 and exited around 70 (15%+ in a week). I might re-enter depending on the when the rumours die.

I am asking this cos i have booked profits in all my exisiting stocks and sitting idle watching the market and enjoying this run.. Just wanted to take some calculated risk with your advise. Just one stock advise from you and ill buy few and watch.

    • sagecapital

      Now you can watch stocks “moving up” and “miss the move”. Do you have a re-entry strategy? I wonder how you are enjoying the market when you are not in and stocks are moving up! had I been in your place, I might have felt a bit of pain- the pain of missing out !

      Avoid TV 18 as of now. Infact, I’d short the stock if it rises. I hate CNBC as they fool the retail investors!On a serious note- the stock is in a deep bear grip.
      IDFC is interesting and let’s see if it crosses 150. The stock is on my radar.

    Hi Sage,
    One general knowledge question I have not specific to any stock,
    When I purchase a share on BSE can I sell it on NSE & vice versa?
    How the prices on both the exchanges are mostly hand in hand with each other?

    Thanks a lot
    Sachin

    • sagecapital
      Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 7:14 am | #617

      once you buy a stock from an exchnage, it comes to your demat account. After that you can again buy/sell on any of the exchnages.
      The prices are hand in hand because of the arbitrage opportunity.
      Assume a stock is quoting at 105 on NSE and 100 on BSE. Immediately traders shall recognise that and sell the stock on NSE and buy the stock on BSE thus earning a risk free return. As more and more traders recognise this opportunity, the price difference narrows. That’s why you see a close tracking of prices. Whenever there is a mismatch, arbitrage happens and prices again begin to track each other.

    Hi Sage,

    Can you pls advice me on buy rate for jay shree tea or mcleod tea…which is a better investment in the short term and what rate shd i buy rt now?

      Tea stocks are trending up nicely.
      McLeod is a nice bet with a stop around 170.
      Jayshree Tea- Nice bet with a stop around 250.
      Ideally June- July was the right time to get into these stocks. Now these bets are a bit more risky (although still some gains to be made)

      Till RNRL tries to cross 100, the stock doesn’t seem to have any upside momentum. All ADAG stocks lack momentum. Reliance Power might pick up some momentum but we have to wait and see.

    Hi,

    Need your advice & outlook on – SINTEX Ind. (short & medium term perspec.); Praj Ind.

    Thanks very much, as always.

    The way you handle queries, and respond, I am sure, you will get me hooked on to your products, pretty soon. :)

    • sagecapital
      Sunday, September 13, 2009 at 9:04 am | #650

      Sri- My intention is to give you an honest opinion based on my analysis.I also share my “trend following” philosophy so that investors are more aware and educated.The same is true for my products. I do not wish to turn people into trading robots without understanding the risk.
      Sintex- 260 is a big hurdle for the stock in medium term. If the stock absorbs the supply at 260, the stock can be a potential rocket. Fundamentally, the stock looks decent with revival in global economies.

      Ind Swift- Keep a stop at 23. The stock can be a good short term bet.

      Cement stocks have gone sideways after a big run up. I’d keep a watch on them as Oct- Dec is usually a good cycle of uptrend for cement stocks.
      Grasim can be a good pick around 2400-2500 levels.

      GHCL is still trading in a range of 37 to 45. Till it picks momentum and crosses this range, the stock might just stay where it is. Right now, I am not seeing any signs of any momentum build up in the stock.
      To hold or exit depends on your investment/trading objective.

      Exits depend on your trading style. You might choose to take your 10-20% and move away or hold the stock for bigger gains (at bigger risk). If you are aiming for 50% returns, you should be mentally prepared to lose 10-20% on the stock or give up your existing 15% of gains.

      Hold for a few more days and see if it crosses 110. If it doesn’t, dump the stock. It seems that a lot of investors are stuck in this counter, so fresh supply is hiting the stock whenever it moves up.

      Difficult to say in short term but in medium to long term, the stock looks bullish.

      Depends on if you bought for short term or long term. I’d hold it if I am a long term player. Supports at 400 and 430. For short term, keep a stop below 450 and trade.

      Avoid Cals refineries if you are a long term investor. It might be good for short term trading.

      Monday, September 7, 2009 at 8:44 pm | #741

      There are many stocks which are doing much better than Adani or NHPC. Infact, I am surprised that there are still many stocks that are giving 6-10% in a week’s time!
      So it might be better to pick such stocks. Adani and NHPC have supply overhang.

      TTML is not having any momentum, so I’d not pick the stock till it shows some life.
      Indiabulls is in a good uptrend, so one can buy the dips.

      India cements is moving sideways with a strong support around 125. If the stock bounces from this area, then 140 is a suitable target.

      Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 1:35 pm | #761

      The stock has some support at 235. Below taht it can fall back to 200. On the upside, 300 could be first target if the stock picks up momentum again.

      You can buy with a stop around 44-45(for some trading bounce) as below that the stock can go down to 40. The stock is still not a buy in my books.

REI agro has been moving between 45 and 49 for the past two weeks, do u suggest getting in to it now?(i ve read you asking to stay away from REI abt 2 weeks back? How abt it now?)

    • sagecapital
      Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 2:01 pm | #777

      Alok Industries need to get past 27-28 to begin a long term uptrend. Till then , the stock is range bound.
      Arvind Mills looks interesting as the stock can reach 40-45 once it gets past 35.

      It is always risky to have a concentrated portfolio.
      GVK is not able to get past 50. re-enter only after this level.
      GMR is sideways with a downward bias. Needs to cross 150 to show any sign of momentum.

      120 possible in the short term possible but doesn’t look to be in long term uptrend. So as a trader you might place a short term bet.

      Neutral. A decent trade could be to buy around 250 and sell around 300. Long term bullish but medium term sideways.

    Regards / Prasanna

    • sagecapital
      Thursday, September 3, 2009 at 11:15 pm | #789

      Prasanna- I had indicated earlier also that RIL faces tough resistance at 2100. Till it crosses that, the stock might just languish. If you want to trade, it is like buy around 1850 and sell around 2100. Below 1850, the stock can crack badly to 1700.
      I am not too sure if you are trading RIL or buying for a longer term.

      The stock is in a very tight range of 213 to 230. The stock can fall to 170-180 if it goes below 210. So keep your stops there.

      The stock has not performed as per the expectations because of fall in copper prices. as long as stock stays above 600, the chances of 700+ are still there.

    Need your advise on Raj Oil Mills. Is it wise if i invest to buy at the current levels. I intend to buy around 1000nos @ 85. Your advises/suggestions have ONLY helped me all these days.. And i also want to thank you for the same.

    • sagecapital
      Thursday, September 3, 2009 at 11:22 pm | #795

      Raj Oil Mills – My sincere advice would be to stay out of this stock as this stock might be hammered a lot below 85. It might be too risky just in case overall market corrects a bit more.
      Still if you wish to buy keep a tight stop loss, so that your risk is low.
