Mid-cap stocks of the week June 05, 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.
Alok Inds - this textile scrip was recommended for small gains last week and performed as per our expectations and profits were booked at 69 levels in the June series. This week, we re-affirm our trading buy for adventurous traders as the scrip has confirmed a breakout from it's bearish channel and closed comfortably above it. The traded volumes have jumped and the scrip is a recent addition in the f&o list. The red trend-line within the channel marks a crude inverted head and shoulder formation ( crude, as the head is not significantly bigger than the shoulders ). Being a measuring move, we forecast a target price of 73 in the spot and recommend a speculative buy for traders. F&o traders will note the huge build-up of positions on the counter recently. Your call of action - buy at the current levels and hold with a stop loss at the 65 mark. Expect to book profits at the 72 / 73 levels in the near term. Alok Inds I Electrosteel I Essel Propack I Hind Motor I Indus Ind Bank I Pricol I Trent I Tube Inv I Midcap index I Top I Close window I Print page Electrosteel - this scrip was recommended recently and is in the news for the right reasons. A consistent performer and an institutional play, the scrip is currently being re-rated. The traded volumes are on the upswing and the scrip itself trends in the bullish channel ( please note the chart is monthly ). A higher tops and bottoms formation is a bullish indicator and so is the high relative strength of 400+ vis-a-vis the Nifty ( where 100 = base ). As long as the scrip stays above the 400 levels, we expect a price target of 700 + in the next 18 - 24 months. A buy for the patient and disciplined investor. Your call of action - Buy at the current level and hold with deep stop loss at the 350 mark. Expect to book profits at the 515 levels in the medium / long term and above 700 levels in 2 years in a conducive market scenario.

The scrip trades near the lifetime highs and the traded volumes have improved. The high relative strength of 246 vis-a-vis the Nifty ( where 100 = base ) is confidence inspiring and the oscillators are signalling bullishness. A breakout above the 60 levels will be a conclusive buy signal for the bulls and a 20 % appreciation is not ruled out. Buying is recommended.

The rally is on a higher tops and bottoms formation and in a near trend line fashion. As long as the scrip stays above the 300 levels, expect the bullishness to continue. The high relative strength of 214 vis-a-vis the Nifty ( where 100 = base ) is confidence inspiring and the relatively poor traded volumes remain the only concern. Buy only for the long term in small lots. Your call of action - buy at current levels and maintain a stop loss at the 270 levels. Expect to book profits at the 375 + levels in the medium term. Alok Inds I Electrosteel I Essel Propack I Hind Motor I Indus Ind Bank I Pricol I Trent I Tube Inv I Midcap index I Top I Close window I Print page CNX Mid-cap Index - this index has seen a spectacular rise in the last few months as the chart indicates. The support is at the 2900 level and 3060 levels will be a resistance in the coming week. We feel the outlook for the midcap segment is clearly that of consolidation and the risk / reward ratio is evenly matched. We suggest going easy on mid cap investments at these levels and traded / invested quantum to be kept curtailed. Your call of action - this is a pure academic study only.
