Follow-up: We had recommended a short strangle on TCS. The position is in-the-money. As expected, the stock faced resistance and moved downwards. Investors could hold on the strategy till expiry for maximum profits. We had also recommended a long on Aurobindo Pharma. Though the stock opened on positive note, it could not sustain the initial gains. We recommend an exit, even though the stop-loss mentioned last week still holds.
