A good way to measure whether a sector is becoming favorable is to look at a benchmark stock and then compare it with its sister stocks.
Now with the kind of movement exhibited by ABG, we can assume it to be the benchmark stock. When we look at other sister stocks like Bharti Ship, Essar Shipping, Garware Off, GE Shipping, Great offshore, Mercator, Pipavav, SE Asia, SCI, Varun and Shreyas shipping, the story seems somewhat different.
Out of all these stocks Bharti, SE Asia, SCI, Essar and ABG are worth looking at. Garware Offshore, GE Ship, Mercator, Shreyas and Varun are not looking that exciting as of now. When you take the positive stocks and compare it to a sector which is breaking out, the signs still look a bit weak. Hence, booking partial profits is not a bad idea if someone still holds some positive counters.
Anyhow if the sector is actually breaking out, it won't be doing so for a 10-20% move. The move will be much larger and hence when we get more confirmation, we can enter the sector to participate in it.
Just my views.
