Large cap companies include Larsen and Toubro, Punj Lloyd, Jaiprakash Associates, IRB Infrastructure , IVRCL Infrastructure, Nagarjuna Construction and Era Infra Engineering while the
One of the reasons for the outperformance of the mid cap companies, is that most in the list of remaining 28—namely, Hindustan Construction, Patel Engineering, Simplex Infrastructures, Gammon India, Consolidated Construction, Sadbhav Engineering, BL Kashyap & Sons, Ahluwalia Contracts, Madhucon Projects and Subhash Projects—have seen huge bargain buying in the last few trading sessions. These are the companies, which were earlier in the large cap space in the same period last year but were pounded heavily as they were in the lower end among their larger players.
For example, HCC, Patel and Gammon had a market capitalization in excess of Rs 3000 crore on March 23, 2008 but now they quote below Rs 1000 crore. This has led to some value buying as they are up by around 20% since March 9.

Let me thank "Sweety" for bringing my attention to this stock as it reinforces my EW of index & other stocks.I was also able to develop a quick file for this stock which could be duplicated for studying other stocks.
Trade the channels and use the pivot points for some guidance.
As we are trading below the 200DMA, I have also posted a bearish scenario at the bottom.
For Monday, if 3125 is not crossed in the opening hour & 3095/3070 is broken, a correction may set in till 3010-2925 area. If market moves past 3125, it may head towards 3147 +.....
Would the markets listen to saner voice to take a couple of days break to journey up comfortably..??? Market is always crazy..and you got to be crazy to deal with it..No saner approach will help.

In our previous weekly report, we had mentioned that the markets would remain range bound and trade in the range of 8650 - 9900 / 2700 - 3000 levels. Further, we had advised traders to trade from the long side only if indices trade and close above 9120 / 2836 levels with a stop loss of 8867 / 2770 levels for a target of 9900 / 3000 levels. The benchmark indices gave a breakout from 9120 / 2836 levels with higher volumes and not only achieved our above-mentioned targets but rallied sharply beyond our expectations to make a high of 10127 / 3123 levels. The Sensex ended with a gain of 12.6% where as the Nifty gained 10.7% vis-à-vis the previous week.
- On the weekly charts, we are witnessing a "V" - pattern formation breakout with higher volumes, which suggest further upside and the projected targets for the said pattern is around 11250 - 11500 / 3360 - 3400 levels which also coincide with the 200 days EMA.
- On the weekly charts, the Average Directional Index ADX, which is the trend following indicator is about to give a positive crossover which suggests further upside in the coming weeks.
- On the daily charts, the prices have moved very close towards the "Major" downward sloping trend line joining the two previous significant tops,viz the all time high of 21207 / 6357 levels in Jan 2008 and 15107 / 4558 levels in Sept 08. This downward sloping trend line may act as a resistance.
- Also, we are nearing a strong multiple resistance zone with the previous swing high formed in the range of 10450 - 10550 / 3150 - 3180 levels, which may act as a strong resistance.
The coming weeks are truncated on account of market holidays with market working only for 3 days in the next to next week. Keeping this in mind and the fact that we are near the strong multiple resistance levels as mentioned above, there is likelihood of the markets consolidating and possibly witnessing a small correction. However, the "V" pattern breakout as well the ADX suggests that the correction cannot be very sharp and the indices may test the levels of 9800 - 9724 / 3000 - 2970 levels at the most, which should be used as buying opportunities. Short-term traders who have been long at lower levels can book partial profits to reenter at lower levels. As witnessed in the past two weeks, we are likely to see stock specific movement, more in Midcap counters.

COMEX GOLD (APR) : Momentum studies are rising from mid-range, which could accelerate a move higher if resistance levels are penetrated. The close above the 9-day moving average is a positive short-term indicator for trend. The market could take on a defensive posture with the daily closing price reversal down. The close over the pivot swing is a somewhat positive setup. The next upside objective is 951.4. The next area of resistance is around 941.7 and 951.4, while 1st support hits today at 927.1 and below there at 922
COMEX SILVER (MAY) : Studies are showing positive momentum but are now in overbought territory, so some caution is warranted. The close above the 9-day moving average is a positive short-term indicator for trend. The market has a slightly positive tilt with the close over the swing pivot. The next upside objective is 1388.3. The next area of resistance is around 1367.7 and 1388.3, while 1st support hits today at 1333.3 and below there at 1319.4

… costly because every time I go wrong I stake the greatest asset of mine – the reputation. I would not have suffered so badly had I not started the blog and contribution to two three other sites. But now that I do it – the pressure of accuracy weighs heavy. It is not that this rally was not anticipated – nor were the levels we are jumping to every day now. I had mentioned that this can be a surprise rally taking us to 3400 levels and higher. What I obviously did not get that the rally will be with so much vigour and non stop. Ever since I saw the first indicator go overbought – I anticipated the markets to take a breather – stay there for a day or so or perhaps come down on a 50% retracement – and that has not happened. As of now we have three indicators I study are either deeply overbought or just about there. There has been no recent precedent of these indicators wherein we have stayed for so long in these conditions. Now seeing these indicators overbought I ignored a very important indicator – the violation of the Bollinger band. When the upper Bollinger band was violated – I should have taken this as a strong indication of the trend continuation and if we see the charts now we see that the violations continue even now. All the same the lesson is that – do not oppose the trend – do not over anticipate the happening and do not read the charts with preconceived ideas as to where we are heading. In due course the charts tell were we they intend going.
Where are we going now? We have also violated the 100 EMA that was attempted to be taken out in April end, May end, Aug and Sep. This time however we have crossed the 100 EMA more than any of the earlier attempts. The volumes continue to be marginally better than before. So? is the worst over – It may be for the time being atleast. We may correct some and then continue our journey upper – the pitfalls? elections! - markets do not like the uncertainty – and that is close at hands. okay before I finish with the 100 EMA – let us see the last 5 year charts. see the blue EMA line trailing across the chart – see the 100 EMA has remained well above the markets and this time we are above. If this is the continuation of the bear market then expect a sharp fall. see every time it has retracted it has done so with vengeance. if it does not – then a slow journey north wards can begin.
Before I come down to the charts – once again I think we should look at the Global cues. Asia is showing reluctance in carrying forward this rally – Nikkei was down 0.11% and Hang Seng up marginally 0.07% and Strait Times down 0.75%. Europe was all red inspite of opening flat. FTSE was red 0.67%, Dax down 1.31% and CAC down 1.78%. US markets have overall surged forward 6% plus this week even after ending the week with a small correction. Dow was down 1.87%, Nasdaq down 2.63% and S&P 500 2.03%.

Technical Analysis
Nifty has created bullish pattern in last week, if Nifty will close above 3155 for two days, it may go up to 3240. Resistance Level for Nifty will be 3128, 3221, 3289 and 3342. Support Level for Nifty will be 3082, 3035, 2950 and 2833.
Resistance Level for Sensex will be 10228, 10474, 10653 and 10785. Support Level for Sensex will be 10014, 9885, 9571 and 9132.
had given reasons for my bullishness and why markets will go up to 3500 and 3700. Now let’s see about people projecting bearish views. I remember players saying that market will touch SENSEX 6000 and 10000 being impossible. Now these very people are recommending 12500. They are by profession brokers and will remain brokers forever. There interest is their income and not your profit.
Those who have sold and booked losses and waiting with tons of cash did not get even an opportunity to buy it again. This is what the market is all about.
It is always said never trust a broker neither trust the FII who has history of damaging the capital markets globally. The smart investors is the one who identifies his own stock, enters at the time when nobody is there and capitalize the gains when mad rush starts.
As of date also most of the investors are not ready to digest that the recovery has started. History is repeating. Investors are making exit at every rise as if there is no tomorrow but for sure these very investors will not be able to sit on cash for a long time. They sell one and buy another in anticipation of making quick bucks and get stuck there. After all they too have passion to trade.
Large inflows started with Mutual Funds now jumping back into market and scouting for good stocks in FO to begin with. So long as value lies they will buy FO stocks and once they become costly then they will switch loyalty to mid caps and the same way to small caps. You decide from where you want to start.
We have produced unmatched calls in last 4 weeks because the market was on upswing. So long as the Bull Run is intact, strike rate will remain high.
We initiated buy in TISCO at 170 with target 225 which has seen the light of the day. Our next target in TISCO is Rs 280. WELSPUN will rise to 127. VOLTAS will cross 60 and DCHL will become Rs 100 in due course of time. CENTURY, BOMBAY DYEING, RIL, SBI and RELIANCE CAPITAL is always our first choice. They have enough upside. BOMBAY DYEING has crossed the major resistance of Rs 149 now which clearly means the next target is 227 where it could halt for a while and thereafter you will see the old BOMBAY DYEING back with target of Rs 1000 and 2000. The only difference is that all FII holding has made exit and now only REL CAPITAL and management are left and the whole selling got absorbed. Now it is just a matter of one quarter where the company books realty gains and the race will start.
Similarly there are few very good stocks in mid cap which are just waiting for explosion. THIRUMALAI CHEMICALS, VIP, CCL, GODREJ INDUSTRIES, JK CEMENT, TANEJA, ATUL, STERLITE TECHNO, BRIGADE, ADHUNIK, INDIAN HUME PIPE, KIRLOSKAR BROTHERS, UB HOLDINGS etc which offer great value but corrected due to the investors psychology and FII killing the stock.
In small caps ASSAM COMPANY, JEYSWAL NECO, MSP STEEL, ENTEGRA, BAJAJ STEEL, SS DUNCAN, SAMBADAM SPINNING, ITI, RDB, GTC, SANDUR, GREMACH still offers great value. Especially RDB which had already announced de-merger of cigarette earlier is very close to announce the record date now. It is learnt from sources that company has approached FII and Investment Bank to scout for strategic investor in the cigarette co post de-merger.
FII are scouting for mining and tea stocks. In mining TISCO, STERLITE, BEML and SESA offers great value. We had given buy in SESA at 94 yesterday and it has touched Rs 109 today. TISCO and STERLITE are already on fire. BEML very few know that it is one of the mining stories. In small caps, SANDUR, MSP, JEYSWAL, ENTEGRA and ADHUNIK are in mining.
Trading

Tit Bits
Once Reliance Industries’ D6 field in the KG basin begins gas production, it is expected to boost the demand for transmission infrastructure (pipelines) significantly. As a result, the fortunes of pipe manufacturers are likely to change. It may be noted that investments in pipeline infrastructure are the last leg of an oil and gas project. Moreover, with city gas distribution coming under the government’s focus, the demand for transmission network will remain strong. Reduction in input costs (mainly steel) due to the economic slowdown has also indirectly helped pipe manufacturers. In fact, as per some domestic pipe manufacturers, order booking has increased by almost 30% to 40% from the lows in the last two-three years.
Investment Updates
Problem with innocent retail investor is that they always buy at higher levels with left behind feelings & gets trapped at higher levels.
After that they are in full grip of fear & when they see their investment falling to very low values and the fear turns into frustration and at the height of frustration is the time to start accumulating good stocks.
When market goes up again for some time, temptation (under grip of greed) will overpower fear & again buying may come up at higher levels. Thus this is half hearted approach to the market. I have seen few who were reluctant to buy at 5000/6000 level of index, have entered at above 18000 levels index & suffered huge losses.
After good consolidation over the last few weeks, the market seems to have given a good breakout. It appears that FII selling has come to an end or the market value of whatever remains may be very small. LIC has played very important roll in stabilising the market. Mutual funds, short sellers and HNIs too are sitting on good cash. It is possible that the market may attract this cash if it closes above Rs.10300 decisively, which looks very much possible. It is encouraging to see that there is FII inflows in many sectors. Even the real estate sector is attracting selective FII buying. Stocks like HIND ZINC Rs.450, SESA GOA Rs.107.90, CUMMINS Rs.179.40, KALPATARU POWER Rs.330.90, HCC Rs.40.35, TATA CHEMICALS Rs.145.15, PSL Rs.79, MICRO INKS Rs.126, ASHIANA HOUSING Rs.36 discussed in this column over the last few weeks have given good returns in the short-term. Investors can continue to hold these stocks with a long-term view.
RATNAMANI METALS LTD. 520111 Rs.35.80 is engaged in manufacturing welded and seamless stainless steel (SS) pipes & tubes, carbon steel (CS) LSAW, HSAW and ERW pipes. To cater to the rising demand the company is adding 3,000 TPA of capacity in stainless steel tubes and pipes segment, which will be operational shortly and take its total stainless steel pipe capacity to 22,000 TPA. In the carbon steel segment, it is adding 100,000 TPA of HSAW capacity through brown field expansion, which will double its HSAW capacity to 200,000 TPA and take the total carbon steel capacity to 400,000 TPA. The company meets 100% power requirement from its 24 windmills generating 20.54 MW of green power. It has also backward integrated by establishing a hot extrusion line, which has reduced its dependence on the imported material to some extent. As a part of forward integration, the company has recently set up a 3 layer polyethylene and epoxy coating line with a capacity of 2.7 million sq. mtrs. As most of the company’s sale is to the oil & gas and petrochemical industries, it reported a poor performance for Q3FY09. Even for the first nine months of FY09, its top line grew by 12% to Rs.690 crore, whereas net profit declined by 25% to Rs.55 crore posting an EPS of Rs.11 on its current equity of Rs.9 crore. However, the company has not made the notional forex loss provisions of Rs.12.50 crore on its outstanding foreign currency loans. Taking this into account, it may end FY09 with sales of Rs.900 crore and profit of Rs.50 crore, which works out to an EPS of Rs.11 for the entire FY09. For FY10, it has the potential to do much better with enhanced capacities. Accumulate only at sharp declines
FIRST LEASING COMPANY Rs.30.40 is engaged in financial activities viz. financing lease, hire purchase and loans. The company is also engaged in wind power generation.
Today, leasing is an essential part of the financial system and provides an important source of funds for every sector of the Indian economy, right from consumer finance related transactions to equipment for the Pharmaceutical, Automobile, Software and Telecommunications industries. Leasing is used as an additional source of capital for financing the capital assets of companies, which enables them not to use short-term money for long-term assets reducing the earlier dependence on working capital resources. Globalisation of the Indian economy brought several NBFC into the market resulting in intensive competition. First Leasing with its 35 years of successful experience responds to these market developments by adopting safe credit policies and procedures instead of attempting to force growth. A positive development that confirms that leasing has good future prospects is that Indian industry is shedding its conservative attitude of preference for asset ownership and increasingly moving towards leased equipment.
First Leasing's risk asset portfolio includes some of the world's largest multinationals and Indian giants, which is substantiated by the fact that its Net Non-Performing Assets as of 31 March 2008 dropped to 0.00% from 0.01% in FY07. It’s consolidated Sundry Debtors 'Account' fell to Rs.19.94 crore from Rs.22.16 crore even though revenues expanded robustly from Rs.130.42 crore to Rs.158.70 crore
This justifies its Triple 'A' rating from two credit rating agencies, Fitch and Care. But in an environment of the Sensex rising to a high of 21,206.77 and then falling to a low of around 7700, the First Leasing equity share distinguished itself as a share whose value is measured by the most important of performance metric 'cash dividends paid' rather than by a fleeting series of transient digital numbers that rise and fall. First Leasing has paid dividends over 33 years consistently, ranging from 18% to 22.5% in FY08.
Accompanying the growth in contribution by the manufacturing sector to the country's Gross National Product (GNP), there is a felt need for vendor leasing so that items such as high cost medical equipment can be accessed by everyone. First Leasing has taken a major position in this market and is likely to significantly grow its footprint here. Energy is also on its agenda given the 40 hour power cuts imposed in Maharashtra. First Leasing has actively supported the growth of wind energy through windmills and is presently in serious discussions to lease oil rigs.
For the first nine months of FY09, it reported an income of Rs.132 crore against Rs.111 crore last year while net profit touched Rs.25.43 crore against Rs.22.46 crore in spite of 32% higher interest cost, which is likely to come down in the near future. The company made provision of deferred tax of Rs.8.71 crore against Rs.7.7 crore in previous corresponding period.
On its equity base of Rs.22.79 crore, the nine month EPS was Rs.11.15 while cash EPS including deferred tax was Rs.19.3. The company is said to be faring well and the full year FY09 EPS likely to be around Rs.14/15.
Seeing to its past track record of good dividend distribution and the current tax-free dividend yield of 7.7%, the stock looks very attractive for accumulation at every dip as a safe investment bet for decent growth in times to come.
The stock attracts strong support around Rs.28 level since the last few months but a decisive closing above Rs.33 level can take it to around Rs.37/38 level. The stock is available at its November 2004 valuation when the Sensex was around 6200 level.
On a standalone basis, the sales of THERMAX LTD. Rs.171.55 for the first nine months of FY09 was higher by 1% and net profit was lower by 4% at Rs.192.96 crore But on a consolidated basis, the sales for the period fell by 1% to Rs.2447.14 crore and the PBT was lower by 9% to Rs.274.94 crore. Finally, the net profit was lower by 12% to Rs.183.47 crore The unexecuted order book of the Thermax group as on 30 December 2008 was Rs.4103 crore compared to Rs.4071 crore as on 30 September 2008. The standalone order book was Rs.3854 crore, which was higher by about 44% on YOY basis. Total income for Q3FY09 was Rs.803.8 crore, a fall of 6%, and a PAT by 4% to Rs.72.3 crore. About 79% of the revenue for the quarter came from the energy segment and 21% came from the environment segment. For the first nine months, the share was 75.5% from energy and 24.5% from environment. Similarly, the domestic: international mix is 69:31. For the nine month period, the international business accounts for 25.5%. Set back at the operational level is largely due to the slowdown and some liquidity issues with its customers. The company's order book position consists of orders from sectors such as power, cements, metallurgy, refinery and steel in equal proportion. The company expects lesser new investments coming in from sectors like cement, steel and metallurgy in the next 12 months. But the power sector investments will be strong and investments in refinery projects across the globe will continue. The FMCG and food processing industry is unlikely to cut down its capex and should do well.
This Rs.2 paid-up stock is trading around Rs.168 wherein the worst seems to have been discounted. Book value of the company is around Rs.62 while expected EPS for FY09 is likely to be around Rs.20/21 level.
Investors can accumulate this stock on dips with a target price of Rs.250 over the next one year.
KALPATARU POWER TRANSMISSION Rs.330.90 has bagged another three orders worth Rs.399 crore from the Power Grid Corporation of India for 765 kv and 400 kv transmission line projects. The company is a turnkey player in design, fabrication, construction and erection of transmission lines and sub-station structures.

SUPREME IND: There is positive feedback on the core business in most of its divisions. I would like to add the stock if drops to 95 levels. Buyback is over, floating stock is less. FII holding is zero.
BHARAT BIJLEE: Power and Power Equipment is the only sector in India, where growth prospects are visible. With expansion and renovation of power grid across the country, HV Transformer producers like Bharat Bijlee are expected to do well. This Rs 600 crore plus entity is equipped to play a major role here. New expansions are in place, fresh products added to the existing lines and considering that the corporate books maximum revenues in the Q4, the full year numbers should better FY08 earnings of Rs 128 per share and a dividend pay-out of Rs 30 per share. The corporate has a small equity of Rs 5.60 crore, marginal working capital debt of Rs 20 crore.
But on top of that BBL holds 28,25, 160 shares of Siemens India worth Rs 68 crore, 102980 shares of HDFC worth Rs 15.44 crore and Bonds of the National Housing Bank worth Rs 15 crore. In addition there are 15000 shares of ICICI, 3.33 lakh shares of HOEC and some shares in unlisted cooperative banks. In all, these investments are worth over Rs 100 crore, and final dividend alone from Siemens declared in Q4 should amount to Rs 85 lakh.
CUMMINS INDIA: Beside rumour of delisting there is possibility of some acquisitions which may add to values. There is strong buying in the counter with better volumes in last few days.
