Mid-cap stocks of the week                                           May 15, 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.

Adlabs - this scrip is in a strong uptrend and has signaled a breakout above the 150 congestion levels which takes it into a new orbit. A classic higher tops and bottoms formation is in progress and the oscillators are supporting the upmove. In the last quarter, the media scrips are in the limelight and in favour with the investing population. Traded volumes have been rising slowly yet surely in the last 6 months. We recommend a buy for the higher risk appetite investors.

Your call of action - Buy at current levels and hold with a stop loss at the 125 levels. Expect to book profits at the 185 - 200 levels in the medium term in a conducive market.

Berger Paints - This scrip is in a strong uptrend as the current market price is the lifetime high. The scrip has been a multi-bagger and is on the threshold of a breakout above the 50 levels. Should the 50 mark be surpassed on a consistent basis, the stock gets into a new grid, where support levels would rise to the 38 - 40 band. The very high relative strength of nearly 600 vis-a-vis the Nifty ( where 100 = base ) is confidence inspiring. The traded volumes have improved significantly in the last 6 months and the outlook seems positive. We recommend a buy for the patient investor / trader.
