The Hindu Business Line : Justice always whirls in equal measure

Sridevi was giving finishing touches to an abstract painting titled `Sensex'. Jogin was classifying `offices', as `profit' and `loss' in a T-account. Dakshinamoorthy sat watching Commonwealth Games to track his favourite stars. All... till Khan buzzed them, `Cht'. Weave in, fast!

Kay: Hi, all! Markets reversed direction on Friday.

Sri: Putting bears on the wrong foot. Turned stronger further.

Dax: Steel shares were the main drivers. More

upside expected.

Jog: Political resignations didn't make any impact!

about 8% last Monday.

on a positive note.

Jog: You're talking of targets like trap shooters!

the upper circuit on Friday. Will it continue this week?

Galaxy Entt and DCW.

Kay: Rajesh Exports going through a fantastic run. Expect the

momentum to continue.

Jog: Major tech shares are trading slightly weaker.

range and better margin.

Kay: Yes, there is possibility of order flow from BSNL, Bharti.

Jog: SBI associates likely to rule firm, as

stock split is imminent.

Dax: Interestingly, BHEL went into tailspin on Friday...

Kay: Despite the market rally, yes. Buy on correction.

Sri: Any rumours of stock split or bonus in McDowell?

Jog: Want to know why the stock climbed more

than 9 per cent on Friday?

Dax: Heard that big movement could be seen in Escorts

and Aftek Infosys.

Kay: ACC and Suzlon can be bought even at current levels.

Sri: Sterlite may be a good bet, as copper prices are going up.

Dax: "Justice always whirls in equal measure... our copper

buys no better treasure."

Jog: Love's Labour's Lost! "Peace be at your labour, honest

fishermen," as in Pericles, Prince of Tyre!
