NIFTY had a lackluster day on Friday.
We had two trades initiated.
JETAIRWAYS PUT 260 at Rs. 10.00 and HINDPETRO PUT 240 at Rs. 4.60.
HINDPETRO came very close to its 52 week low of Rs. 250.60 ( yesterday low was Rs. 500.70 ) and we look towards further decline from here.
JETAIRWAYS too came down to Rs. 277 levels before moving up. Both the stocks are highly volatile and such movements are expected.
Telecom is always a weak sector. IDEA has been very volatile but trending lower. The approval of merger with Vodafone took it above Rs. 52 only to again fall to Rs. 49 level.
But premiums are very high in IDEA so for the present we avoid it.
We shall go for a proxy play with BHARTIAIRTEL. After being continuously weak since January, it showed some recovery along with the market trend last month.
Now it is time to continue with its own trend.
It currently trades at Rs. 383.25 and PUT 360 can be quite rewarding if the down move happens.
BHARTIAIRTEL PUT 360 at Rs. 4.00 is my choice for trading today.
We tread cautiously this month and slowly build up our profit journey again.

June 14 5 9 36 117363 55308 47.13
July 15 5 10 33 127985 43090 33.67
August 17 3 14 18 126414 -95339 -75.42
Total 57 17 40 30 465697 70509 15.14
I wish to point out that in June there was additional profit of about Rs. 30000 from 3 other trades which were suggested as Expiry day trades. Including that would make it look little better.
Trade cautiously, trade profitably.

If I would have started with Capital of 100,000 in a month of May then it’s gain of 70% over the period of 4 months, that too without much ado. Congratulations sir. 🙂

Dear Promod Sir,
May I know how the selection of Airtel was made. It is not looking weak in the last one week time frame.
ReplyIs it just a sectoral based bet?

Hi sir,
I took the jetairways trade at ₹10 as you mentioned. And had profit margin at ₹15. It hit today. I had profit margin, since you said it’s volatile and good to book profit early. I got 50% profit:-) Was I correct in closing the trade sir?
