Is there anything to spoil the bull party?

Jogin was trying to understand Bihar politics using a chessboard, and Khan was calling his travel agent to cancel his Goa trip, even as Sridevi was using a ladder to plot the Sensex on her wall. It needed Dakshinamoorthy to call the weekly market chat to order. Join in!

Dax: Do you know where Bull Temple Road is? It's in

Basavangudi! :-)

Kay: For our bulls, the temple is in Dalal Street, I'd say.

See their mood!

Sri: Bullish, very much. Sensex will touch 7000-mark this

week. JMO

Jog: Notwithstanding what happens to Shibu, Lalu,

Paswan and others! :-)

Kay: True, I see only the chart, not Budget or politics.

Indexaaya namaha!

Sri: Keep in sight mid-cap and small-cap stocks.

They may shine.

Dax: Strong showing during Budget week. Technical

indicators point to a continuation of up-trend.

Jog: Just because market went up sharply, that doesn't

mean it should decline. I mean, it shouldn't!

Kay: If only wishes were

horses... Nifty ended fine on

Friday (2148). It should seek

further tops.

Sri: There may be resistance at

2170 levels for Nifty. Is there

anything to spoil the bull party?

Jog: Bears, they say, can disturb

Siva's puja! Political instability is

not seen in the immediate future.

Dax: Global crude oil price

increase seems to have been

discounted to a great extent. ONGC shining?

Kay: Sakthi Sugar has lot of shakthi this week also! Big

players have taken position in the stock.

Jog: I prefer Simbholi Sugar. It's in 2 per cent circuit.

Good for investment. Unless you're Equal!

Sri: Indo Asian Fuse Gear is also likely to remain firm.

There is talk of placement of shares at Rs 150.

Kay: Current market price is Rs 115, Sri. Good pick for

short term. Who's tracking Jog Engineering?

Dax: That's my job. A construction company into deep

financial problem. Surprise candidate, Kay?

Kay: It moved by 15 per cent this week. Good pick for

high-risk takers. Some positive news on its bridge in

Mumbai suburbs. As risky a stock as a shaky bridge.

Cross it if you can, fast and safe!

Jog: MRPL is a good bet. Might go up shortly. Ended at Rs

50, but hovering around this for long.

Sri: Among banks, ICICI, UTI, Andhra and Karur Vysya

look grand. Give a re-look at NTPC.

Dax: Auto stocks such as Hero Honda, M&M and Tata

Motors can be drivers of market. Rev up!

Kay: Tata's Rs 1 lakh car talk, Hero Honda's Super

Splendour, and M&M gearing up for West Asia.

Sri: Construction stocks to hold their ground given

Budget positives towards infrastructure.

Dax: Tata Tele and MTNL may see some weakness on the

back of TRAI's order asking them to stop offering limited

mobility on their fixed-line phones. Hello, are gem and

jewellery shining?

Jog: Definitely, but select stocks. I see action in

Mid-day Multimedia also. AP Mills, koi fill in!

Kay: Movement expected because board is considering

selling shares to IL&FS.

Sri: I hear the buzz in HEG, Granules India, Malabar

Building Products and Karuturi. Zzzz...

Kay: Slept off? "Sleeping is no mean art: for its sake one

must stay awake all day," said Nietzsche.
