Id first like to make an important clarification to yesterdays morning post which began like this:
AMITBE said:
The two big B words were planned well to come in close succession:
Budget first, and now Bush.
Corporate India would have many positives from this visit, even if there is a loud protest from several quarters.
The protest is primarily on grounds of the eco-political ideology pursued by the US which is pretty uncouth as far as that goes.
But so what.
This sentiment is so well made popular by that famous Americanism of the Mad magazine's Alfred E. Neuman:
What? Me worry?
Hang the protests.
Its all about money, honey.
The party is on.
Make it work for you as long as it lasts.
The text rendered in bold here was intended as a caricature of Americanisms to illustrate their uncouth and loutish attitudes when it comes to capitalist eco-political hegemony. (Pardon, Saint!).
The highlighted statement was not meant to express my personal political worldview, and had I been a better writer, the indistinctness linking what I wanted to express and what it sounded like, would not have arisen.
Aspiring to be a better writer and a better human being neednt be at odds with one another.
The slip is much regretted.
On to work.
It was mentioned here heading into the Budget that FIIs and Domestic Funds with zillions of dollars raised, are under intense pressure to invest, or else lose their position in a brutally competitive race.
Their anguish is obvious: To invest, or await the elusive correction.
There are too many of them crowding the arena, and there are too many trigger fingers twitching nervously. Their Funds just cannot be seen as under performing this hot emerging market.
So we continue to witness this buying pressure.
All this while, for the past several hundred points, the analysists have been swiftly changing their stance while calling the markets.
All we can do is, while trading with utmost discipline, try to make the most of this frenzied party.
Going into the session today after the late day mini sellout yesterday, there are two sides to the picture, as there always are:
Lots of new money has just come in recently. This will attempt to squeeze out more gains for its daring. The attempt at higher levels looks like a distinct possibility, if not today then soon enough.
The other side of the picture is, this being a Friday following the important events last few days, has all the news factored in. So why carry large positions going into the weekend. Scaling down the positions to near trigger levels, to better trap some bears with, and then coming in again later also appears like a reasonable scenario.
But then these conjectures are just what they are.
The market has its own will, but do take care for volatility.
To the levels, taking supports first,
3149-3146-3143-3140-3136-3134-3131-3128.
3114-3118-3122 appear as base.
To the up,
3154-3157-3160-3163 form the first line.
Then
3166-3169-3172 as of now.
