Mid-cap stocks of the week                                           July 23, 2005

 

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.

Individual stocks.

The scrip has appreciated as per our expectations and is in an uptrend. The traded volumes continue to languish as is apparent from the graphic below. The oscillators are confirming the uptrend and the outlook remains positive as the 350 threshold has been surpassed with convincing volumes.

Elgi Equipment - This scrip has risen out of a congestion band after trading above the 54 - 55 levels. The rally is accompanied by higher traded volumes and confirmation from the momentum oscillators. The 60 levels will be a critical resistance as the scrip has retraced from this level thrice in 14 months. A convincing breakout above this level with heavy volumes will see a fresh round of bullishness. We recommend a buy after a confirmed breakout is achieved.

GSFC this scrip was recommended vide our earlier editions dtd. July 16, 2005. Click here to view the previous recommendations. The fertiliser sector is in a bull grip for now and we feel the uptrend may last a few more weeks. GSFC is trading above the congestion levels of 130 and needs to sustain above this level to remain bullish. The traded volumes have risen and the oscillators are supporting the upmove. We recommend a buy in small lots.

Hind Motors this scrip was recommended vide our earlier editions dtd. June 04 and July 16, 2005. Click here to view the previous recommendations. The scrip is a momentum play and is rallying with convincing volumes. The breakout above the 41 levels is a sign of strong upward momentum as the previous top was tested. The same was achieved on higher volumes and positive oscillator movement. We feel higher risk appetite players may buy at the current levels and maintain a deep stop loss. This stock may well turn out to be a wildcard / dark horse.

L.M.W. -  this scrip was recommended vide our earlier editions dtd. May 14 and 28, 2005 and has lived up to our bullish expectations. Click here to view the previous recommendations. This relatively illiquid counter is for the die hard investor only and it is virtually impossible to accumulate large quantities due to the low floating stock and high impact costs. Though the traded volumes are improving, and the oscillators are pointing towards a bullish outlook, we feel investors should aim on buying on declines to cut the possibility of sharp price swings in the downward direction due to poor liquidity, especially in case of a corrective fall in the markets.

LMW - Weekly chart

Your call of action - attempt to make fresh purchases at the 10500 onwards and average downwards till the 10,000 mark. Maintain a stop loss at the 9460 level and expect to book profits at the 12800 in a years time.

We feel the consolidation in progress on this counter is a healthy occurrence and will provide a fresh entry point for the patient traders and investors. The traded volumes ( which are relatively poor ) are improving and that is a heartening indicator. The 620 - 630 levels will provide a good entry for fresh buying in small lots. Pyramid style averaging is advocated on this scrip till the 560 levels.
