What one should look for before entering any trade is the Risk-Reward Ratio - is it favourable? No one will be ready to forfeit 1 rupee for a probable 1 rupee loss, reward must be Rs 2 or Rs 3 or even more for losing a rupee. We entered the market below 13000 where risk-reward was favourable. Now the expected move has happened and we have almost achieved the targets. It is advisable to take profits and wait for further clarity. Technical analysis is always about probabilities and never certainties, but the most important thing is to protect our capital. In worst case scenario, we may even drop below previous lows around 12500. So at least for time-being, we can wait for further trend.

Outlook for 8 August, 2008:-

• The triple-digit day (08-08-08) to start negative on the back of weak global sentiment. Sensex has been resisted at 15422 and now closing past 15500 is required to give further strength. Nifty breaking 4420 can give way to further correction in days to come.

The committee has recommended that any incremental revenues earned beyond $75 a barrel would have to be given to the government as part of subsidy-sharing in the oil sector. While public sector oil companies like ONGC and OIL will take a larger share of the subsidy bill by contributing all revenues beyond $75 a barrel to the central exchequer, private oil producers will have to fork out only 50% of their incremental earnings to the government.

This is in the light of the Reserve Bank of India's concern on the origin of FII money in the domestic markets. The norms relating to Participatory Notes will also be up for review.
