Mid-cap stocks of the week Dec 19, 2004 |
|
The Mid cap stocks listed below are Nifty 500 components - liquid, traded easily and benchmarked volatility. These are stocks that we expect to out-perform the markets. It should be remembered that many of these stocks are trading with abnormally high volumes, maybe operator driven, and have appreciated significantly. Therefore, the risk element is likely to be very high. Take limited exposure to these stocks and maintain stop losses as specified.
Amtek Auto - this scrip is being recommended for the first time in this edition and has been selected on account of a very high relative strength of 1825 ( 100 = base ) as compared to the BSE Sensex. The scrip is in a bull grip and the chart pattern shows a higher tops and bottoms formation in progress. Technical analysts will note that the 165 levels are a short term base from where the scrip has risen and is a good entry point from fresh entry for the patient investor. Since a significant run upwards has already occurred, we suggest a small / medium exposure on this counter.
Your call of action - Buy on declines to the 165 levels and hold with a stop loss at the 150 mark. Expect to book profits at the 200 + levels in the short / medium term. Longer term investors may expect higher levels by the budget.
