Mid-cap stocks of the week Nov 07, 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.
Allahabad Bank - this PSU banking stock is an exception to our cautious view on the PSU sector banks as it is a turnaround story. The restructuring efforts of the bank are showing in the share price and the same is rising in a higher tops and bottoms formation. That is a sign of a bull market pattern. The scrip derives tremendous support at the 30 week SMA and that should be used as a stop loss in the interim. We recommend a buy on the scrip as it is a market out-performer with high relative strength.
Your call of action - Buy on dips at the 45 / 47 levels and hold with a stop loss at the 41 mark. Expect profit taking at the 60 + levels in a few months in a conducive market.

The only concern is the poor traded volumes which means investors should take lower exposure on the counter.

We would feel comfortable buying above the 475 levels with volumes on the breakout being consistently higher than 50,000 shares / day on the BSE.
