This is for all the Value Investors.
The following sectors have taken a huge beating as Nifty corrected to 5200, from 6200 this year. And when Nifty rose back to 6200 they have marginally gained. Point is, I see a another big downleg as Nifty corrects back to 5200 levels.
This hammering effect will fizz out the steam in some really good stocks. So, be ready to deploy cash.
The sectors to watch for bargain hunting:
1) Energy
It is tied to the national GDP, which is spiraling down. Hence, some really stable and reliable stocks will go at lowest price of the decade. My fav picks are Gail and Petronet LNG. (Yes, they are far better than most others in the sector)
2) Power and Power Equipment manufacturers.
India is a power deficit story. Hence, this sector will see a massive rise. But, surely not within an year. In the year to come, these stocks will be harshly treated. BHEL, Siemens, LT, ABB will see newer lows. When all hope is lost, a true blood value investors walks in.
3) PSU Banking.
With NPAs piling up, PSU Banks are positioned to not earn a single penny for the next few years. The net asset growth will be Nil, if not negative. In this madness, some really good banks will get really cheap. I have my eyes peeled for SBI, BoB and Union.
If you can add to this list, please do so. We want good companies in bad times....
