Zaks I never advice people on what to buy and when to buy because clearly I know that I know nothing. I certainly don't know how the Nifty will behave over the next one month or one year. I can still predict its movement over one/two hour or so and come correct more often than not but I can never predict over a one month horizon.
If you ask me what stocks I have bought in the recent past, it's Hindalco at around 39 and Tisco at around 150. I don't know what else to buy. So the other 8 will get a pass from me. I would buy Indian Hotels if it comes down to 20. I know it sounds ridiculous now. But I do think global travel will take a hit in the near future and the sentiment then would be against hotel stocks.
I would actually wait for a few more dips in the market and then study ITC and L&T. I have a feeling the government will one day sell its holdings in these two companies in block to some groups - for example BAT for ITC or Reliance for L&T. That will set fire to these two scrips. When this will happen I don't know.
To a first time investor I have this to say - don't look at the price relative to what it was a few weeks or months ago. A share is going cheap when it is being quoted at a price less than its intrinsic value. Tisco looked cheap when it came down from Rs 1000 to Rs 750 over a few days. Now it is 150 !!!

Perfect. Yes, during such bear market lots of shares start reaching to thier 52 week lows or even lower. It does not mean they lost the game. Market is mainly driven by sentiment. Now the senti is not good. But just watch the business the stock company is in and decide if its good buy at that price.

One more is Voltas. Which is basically good stock, but got a beating in this bear run. How much are you willing to pay for that company, depends on your comfort level.

Eg: If you think that company has some unique product or monopoly in that area, chances [I repeat, chances] are it will be a multi bagger.

If not spoted right, the position of "a" will be taken by "e"

Here's a non-investor but market observer's view point:

Buy commodities. The cycle is woefully down, but hold on, and in a few years, the demand will resume, americans will consume, chinese factories will churn full blast - you cant go too wrong with sensibly managed firms. I fully love Reliance - they have the wherewithal to play the market and the rules of the game - they'll come up trumps in most markets. But patience it'll be.

Even for a decent rise in prices again - their margins will expand like crazy, and so will the valuations.

Last night I was checking CL running contract for Crude Oil in Comex and I found that it may straight run towards a price of $85,here one should use a stop of $40 for safety.Mcx contract soon going to bottoming out,worth a risk to go long rather than shoring at currect levels,not only that last night crude oil inventories showed a surprise gain in US,may be a positive signal for economy and this was the only reason why dow and nashdayak ended in green.

Looking at the things now, if my beauty sensex falls below 8000, my target for it would be close to 5500. Dont blast me guys, its purely my gut feeling

15 min intraday chart for Nifty Future
All is clearly visible here,no need to post any comments.

[ravibhat]

You are right ECM, I felt samething last week, Nifty is showing good support at 2500 then slowly around 2600 and today at 2700 which indicates it might rally to 3200 levels also but first target is 2850 and should close above it by tomorrow which shows sign of 3050 and then might 3200??

Bears are afraid of shorting now a days.

According to my new strategy in share market target is to earn 20,000/- per month with 1 lac investment and I am already finding good success in both up/down trends. This hard work is to buy my dream Safari or Innova in coming months.

99.99% US$ has topped out against IRe.This info may be usefull for those who track forex.

[ECM]

And last but not the least a simple theory I am appling to do some bottom fishing in Crude oil,here is a chart of CL series in Comex,time frame 5 mins.See the reversal.This I am posting for a study purpose.
Current Comex contract will expire on 19th Dec so on that day we may see huge upside in CL price,better buy few mcx lots for Crude and wait for 19th,good luck.

NDTV goes up by close to 30% since I picked it up last week. All thanks to the hysterionics of a certain lady reporter?

ECM - Why do you blank out the software name, that too after offering to post all your trades in here? Some super secret software?

Also, how does one start to learn technical analysis?
