Outlook for 15 July, 2008:-

• Sensex has made a bottom around 12822 in first week of July and that looks like hanging around. 13000-level is providing support for intraday dips and the worst seems to be getting over for time-being.

• We have to remember that this is a bear market and any rally from here would be a bear market pullback. Bear market rallies are swift. They are quick characterized by short-covering and most importantly they are stock-specific. That is why as investors, we need to find good stocks to latch on to.

• Market has fallen on worries like Crude prices, Inflation. But the issues are getting discounted and indices are in the mode of finding their feet. Political uncertainty on government still remains. 12300-12600 is one level where good support can be found, in case we break down again. But individual stocks may not move much below their recent lows.

Ideas for Trading (for short-term position):-

SBI (1257):- Buy around 1230-1240 with SL below 1190. The stock can target 1350-1360.

Catch them falling (Ideas for Investment):-

Bata, Bharat Electronics, Crompton Greaves, ICICI Bank, IDEA, Infosys, Rolta, Mercator Lines, Siemens, Tata Steel are worth buying. One can accumulate these stocks for 15-20% appreciation in next 1 to 2 months from current levels. But being a bear market rally, upside will face resistance. One needs to take profits when they are available and buy the stocks again in dips.
