Highlights:
Yesterday I had written Ajanta Pharma to be sold within 5 mins of open. That was based on yesterday's price action which suggested weakness. Today it opened around 550 and stayed strong for the 10-15 mins that I watched it suggesting strength and leading us to believe that yesterday was either an aberration or a deliberate attempt to shake off weak hands. Hence, I decided to give it one more shot and updated the position from one of exit to one of trailing SL (as mentioned in today morning's post around 9:45).
Sure enough the stock rallied substantially through the day & hit an all-time high of 604 (up some 12-13% from yesterday's close). It eventually closed up 8% at 583 with 8 times average volumes of the past few days.
Regular followers will remember how we were stopped out from Bata by 1 Rupee a few days back after which the stock bounced back. Here's one ocassion where the market has returned the favour. It all evens out over the long term
Lesson: Do not carry pre-concieved ideas. Do what the stock is telling you to do. Most people want the stock to do what they (people) are telling them (the stock). Newsflash - Stocks cant hear you
Trade in the moment.
