Outlook for 28 March, 2008:-

· March expiry is over and we start the series with Rs 42026 Cr of OI which is lower than previous series-starting. Next series will be characterized by Earnings season as India Inc declares its FY08 numbers.

· IT stocks are making bullish formations on graph. May be some positive surprise is lurking in the results or in the Dollar. Those stocks should outperform in this series. Same is the case with Pharma stocks.

· Sensex uptrend will not be so swift as before but as long as we are above 15330, we should not worry much about the downside.

· Access Deficit Charge on domestic calls has been abolished by TRAI and the move should benefit telecom companies here. Bharti Airtel, RCom to benefit.

· Suzlon and Aurobindo have recovered well yesterday. Both are investment buy for more than 20% returns.

· Today Sensex not cutting 15800 will mean bullishness and we can target 16450 in late trade.

· Wipro (430):- Buy for target of 468-475 with SL 410

Outlook for 27 March, 2008:-

· We could not cross the resistance at 4915 and did correct towards 4800 yesterday. But today is a new day and more importantly it is F&O expiry day for month of March 2008. A lot of short covering has already happened but more is expected in individual stocks. That is why we see these more-than-20% moves in a single day in many stocks. Purva and KPIT were examples of yesterday when they both were up more than 20%.

· 16450 and 4925 are resistances for Sensex and Nifty respectively and supply is not ruled out from higher levels until these are crossed. Stock-specific movement will continue and the range for the Nifty today can be 4745 to 4920.

· This market is not going to be very fast like before and we have to take profits when we get good returns as our stocks may move lower to buy back again.

· JK Cement (152):- Buy around 145-149 with SL 130. The stock can target 168-172.

Supp 16000/15880/15600 Res 16490/16680/16930

Outlook for 26 March, 2008:-

· Bulls came to the party yesterday as indices broke the roofs with nearly 1000-point gain for the Sensex. Volumes rose, breadth also improved. Institutions were waiting on the sidelines and came with full strength as FIIs bought more than Rs 3000 Cr in Futures and Cash market collectively.

· Expiry was just 2 days away and the markets bounced very timely. Bears were forced to cover the short positions and a lot of covering did happen yesterday. This looks like a perfect setup for squeezing the shorts and more covering is not ruled out.

· We can see some downticks intraday in days to come, but now our target of 17000-17500 looks nearer. IT stocks can outperform as they are showing great formations on charts. Infosys, Wipro, TCS and Tech Mahindra can be the leaders.

· Other stocks that are looking good:- GT Offshore, M&M, Maruti, Biocon, Siemens

· We can achieve 4915 in this move itself but a reaction towards 4790 is a possibility and one would rather wait for that level before opening intraday longs.

· Biocon (405):- Buy for target of 460-465 SL 384

Outlook for 25 March, 2008:-

· We witnessed good intraday selling yesterday but that wasn’t enough and bulls had the upper hand as we closed with good gains. This is a sign of strength and buying is expected to continue.

· Now 4500-4520 becomes strong support for this move and we should aim 4775 to 4800 levels at least. Breadth was pretty negative yesterday but it can improve once we stabilize here.

· Individual stocks will outperform the broader market. Infosys, ACC, Bharti Airtel, Dr Reddy, Hind Unilever, L&T are looking good on graph and any rally in them can make the markets move up nicely.

· Infosys (1361):- The stock has bottomed out and can target 1490-1510 levels. Buy with SL at 1290.

Indices were up, but off the highs:-

Outlook for Monday:-

· We should buy in tranches and not all in one go. Those who have bought some stock last week have to give some time for markets to settle. This is not a confirmed bottom yet (of 14677 on the Sensex), but we are on course to bottoming out and then give a good bounce.

· Flat opening is expected today but individual stocks can recover quickly. Stock-specific movement should happen.

· Market is not likely to reward traders much as we will move up-down pretty sharply. Investors have to take benefit of the volatility and add good stocks in panic. Suddenly some stock will move up 3-4% and then selling can take it down 8-9% also. We can capitalize on these opportunities only when we buy in cash and have stock with us. A leveraged player is doomed to fell in such a market as we are not yet so stable.

· GT Offshore (597):- The stock can be bought for short as well as long-term investing. In the short-term, it can bounce towards 650-675 levels.

· Inflation announced last week (5.92%) has gone well above RBIs comfort level of 5% and stringent measures by RBI for tightening money-supply will be expected. Banks may remain subdued by this news.

Global Markets:-

Dow Jones rose 420 points as Fed cut its main lending rate by 75 bps to 2.25%. Stocks rallied the most in five years as earnings from Lehmann Brothers Holdings Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. allayed concern that investment banks are collapsing. Indian ADR didn’t lag behind as Tata Communication jumped 25%, ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank earned 12% each.

Outlook for Wednesday:-

· Markets to open gap-up on very positive global markets and the bounce looks already started yesterday. Too many shorts in the system can feed a good rally.

· We can look forward to 17000-17500 in this rally. But as we have crashed from 21000 levels on the Sensex, the upcoming rally may not be as fast as the previous one. Supply is going to come from higher levels. So one is advised to watch for profit-taking opportunities and buy back later to lessen the cost of stock.

Global Markets:-

Dow Jones closed down by 195 points as Bear Stearns said that it had to draw on short-term financing from the Fed, through JP Morgan after its liquidity “deteriorated significantly”. The stock of Bear Stearns lost 47% in a day. MTNL was the worst performing Indian ADR with 8% drop. Patni Comp gained by 2%. Asian markets have opened in the negative.

Outlook for Monday:-

· The week is characterized by a lot of events – Fed Meet, Adv Tax figures, UPA-Left meet for Nuclear Deal. Sun-outage will also come to an end on 18th March and in addition to all these, it is a truncated week because last 2 days are holidays. Market can become a lot volatile.

· The bounce did come on Friday despite bad inflation figures but bad global markets can give us a lower opening today. A fall below Thursday lows is not ruled out in the morning. But the bottom is near and we, as investors, should take benefit of that. Stocks that can bounce quickly are Ranbaxy, Maruti, Cairn, Bata, Purvankara Projects, Amtek Auto, Suzlon, Mundra Port, Renuka Sugar.

· As we have come below a lot of technical supports, the recovery may not be fast. That is why one is advised to buy in tranches and in cash.
