Any stock to invest in this falling market?
Markets are tumbling every day, with some issues surfacing and posing tough challenge to the investors. With such prevailing weakness, are there still some good stocks left for investors to hold on with or get into new positions?
There are few and the sad story is that not even a hand full of them come out to bear the richness in them to give a buy call. Apart from Oswal Fertilizers and Navin Flourine among the top 10% of the ranking list non of them qualify entries. Stronger stocks like Adithya Birla Nuvo, Lumax Industries, Arvind Mills etc though have their price strength ruling high & are giving good numbers in the combined rankings, they do not show accelerating growth patterns.
Some of them have even reported losses in the current quarter. Buy into a stock a stock that is a real winner, having its current and the past quarters with accelerating EPS growth of above 30%, Net profit shows growth and all these are supported by equivalent Sales growth. If either one is going in the opposite direction, it is inviting trouble if we invest in those stocks.
Among the Blue Chips, that many brokerages have been recommending for investments, there is none which shows any kind of strength. Taking the advice of so called big time brokerages, Fund houses or Hedge Funds please do not commit precious capital which almost likely to go south ways.
As much as possible get out of your positions when weakness sets in, wait on the side lines to find a real great opportunity to trade in. After all we are here to make money, not do charity by funding the greedy fund managers or brokerages. In the past month none of the Mutual funds have added any stock into their portfolio, this in itself is a clear indicator that all is not well int he markets. When Mutual funds are moving into either cash or shifting their positions to safer bets like debt and money market instruments, there is no point for prudent investor to be in the market only to watch your capital eroding.
Oswal is one of the best stocks at present, it has formed a resistance at 71.50 levels, the stock has also formed a clear base pattern at 60 levels. On the move up trade long at 71.50 break with a stop loss of 8% from your entry price, this stock should give fabulous returns.
