I have exactly the same views. Exit Polls on 13 May will make the market to go up because they will show BJP coming back to power. And on 16 May the real results can throw in a surprise, like BJP/NDA falling short of Majority, so the chances of a correction are much higher then.
Now this exit poll scenario has made it even more complicated. Earlier I was eager to buy some OTM puts because of my views that Market will go down after election results. But since this 13 May Bullish Event is coming in between, therefor all my puts can crash badly on that day. Therefor I am not being able to decide, what would be a better strategy for me to adopt if I want to buy the Puts. Should I buy them now and be ready to face the heat on 13 May, or should I buy them on 13 May itself, when there is bound to be some big pressure on the Put prices.
Second idea is to play the markets from both the sides, means buying calls for the 13 May event and then on 13 May, buying the Puts for the 16 May event.
I am really confused. Please share your views about how to adjust our positions for this 13 May up move probability and 16 May down move probability.
Thanks
