NIFTY moved up another 5 points yesterday. The little climb was not smooth. It went lower before recovering and then gave up the gains in the last 30 minutes.
There were only 17 stocks which gained while 32 were losers, 1 remaining unchanged. It appears that the upward momentum has lost steam now and we may see a slight correction. Again, this thought maybe wrong. One is never sure with the markets.
We had HEROMOTOCO losing 1.48% yesterday but that did not add much value to PUT 2500. It still has a long way to go before we are able to salvage this trade. Same is the case with HINDPETRO which shows no signs of weakness. The one showing the weakness has been YESBANK where we bought a CALL. A real double whammy for us.
Such are the ways of the market. Inscrutable and unpredictable.
Who said making money in the market was easy. It is simple ( as mentioned many times) but never easy.
A trader has to keep looking for new trades all the time, enter the trade when appropriate and then see it going one way or the other.
New Trade For the Day :
We tried our hands with SUNPHARMA on few occasions. It gave good profits at times and took away the entire premium on few occasions. Pharma Stocks come with their own baggage of volatility.
This time we go for a stock which we have not traded for a long while.
BIOCON is down a little over 6% in the 30 day period. During the last 7 day period ( 4 trading days ), it has moved down from Rs. 632.90 to Rs. 611.55. It fits the bill for buying a PUT.
PUT 580 @ Rs. 8.00-9.00 can be a good trade. Lot Size is 900 and Maximum Risk is Rs. 8100.
This would be our fourth trade of the month.
Trade cautiously, trade profitably.

This trade on Biocon may turn out to be a good one. Once the support at the 610-605 band is broken, the stock may get into a free fall.

Sir BHEL looks like is done with its up move and has started to give up the gains it made in the last few days. Put 65 at 1.2 is looking lucrative.
ReplyAlso, Tata Motors has taken a U-turn after a good run up made since its quarterly results day lows. I think
PE 175@4 can be selected.
Moreover, RelCapital’s PE 170 can be kept on the watchlist. Its woes have not ended yet. It has already paused its up move and can start the reverse journey without prior notice.
Your views on the above three selections, please.
