PE is just a hedge. If the index moves up then the stock CALLS will give more returns than the loss in the Nifty PUTS.
If the market moves down then the PEs will keep me alive to trade another day ....
Also the selection is such - RIL (results will make or break) and I am long so PEs.
NTPC will - irrespective of market movement - move up - at least till Adani IPO ALL power scrips will keep on moving up (to ensure subscription) or remain either where they are - so not worried there.
Now if RIL results are good - then RIL call and NTPC call will rock - PEs will be sqd off anyways on monday BUT if results are bad then RIL money gone down the drain but PEs will give and NTPC at the most will not move.
So a conjuction / curry of news base CA PE buying - all for the next 4 days - a roller coaster ride ....
Enjoy
