Buy or Sell- Telecom stocks
Buy or Sell- Telecom stocks

Telecom sector has been into a lot of news these days. One is the 3G auction which is finally taking off and the other is Bharti’sacquisition of Zain.
With all such market buzz, does it make sense to accumulate telecom stocks?
The sector still needs to witness some consolidation and we might see that process starting this [...]

Markets have been showing a great deal of resilience in the last few weeks and Indian indices outperformed their global peers by a margin last week.
I see a lot of momentum building up in select midcaps and small caps. Take an example of Hanung Toys which I had written about 1 week back when the [...]

In my last post, I had indicated how markets are looking bullish in the short term due to prevailing scepticism in the market. The left out junta is again waiting for a deep correction and true its character, the market is not providing that opportunity. 5300 is one level a lot of traders would be [...]

Bulls are back!
Bulls are back!

Markets have been trending up nicely and bulls are in firm control of these markets. What is more encouraging for the bulls is the fact that many players had either booked profits before the budget or had gone short in anticipation of fiscal stimulus. Now most of such players are in the “left out” or [...]

Have the bulls returned?

As written in my earlier post, a trade above 4900 has the probability of hitting 5000 on the NIFTY. Does this indicate that the bulls have taken hold of the markets, once again?
This looks very likely although there are still some hurdles that need to be crossed. The first resistance is 5050-5100 which can invite [...]

Budget Day Today!

In the short term NIFTY is currently in a downward trend although medium trm trend is sideways and longer term trend is bullish.
This means that short term traders can go long only when NIFTY trades above 4900 for short term targets of 5000 and beyond. Medium term traders would do best to stay on the [...]

I understand that no sole indicator is accurate and that combinations of indicators are used in conjunction for maximum accuracy however which ones? Could someone tell me a list of combinations? I already know Bollinger is used with oscillators like RSI, momentum, and Cash Flow. But
what about MACD and moving average envelopes or PSAR?
And a few more others perhaps?

According to statistics, they dont work in the month January. Is this a coincidence??
good theory, i agree. any other theories?

I am trying to implement a long short model on world market indices. Any references to studies with regards to Large cap vs Mid Cap Long/Short Strategy employed by Hedge funds would be helpful!

When placing a trailing stop on Schwab.com’s trader device, it says that the trailing stop should be more than the stop loss order.

This confuses me. I thought trailing stops were meant to keep you safe from gaps by selling when the momentum is pushing your stock in the wrong direction. Ex: the stop loss order is set for , and you bought it at , but that day the stock dropped from to . If you had a trailing stop of 5% I thought it would sell at .25, rather than waiting for your stop loss order to kick in at .

Am I wrong? or is Schwab?

Hate to miss future gains when the market is going fast forward. Should I still sell, even when the targets I projected have been met?

i am not asking about the blind efficient market followers, nor am i talking to the momentum day traders…

any value investors out there, which investors do you study and read up on?

excluding the ones i have already read extensively on:
warren buffett
benjamin graham
phillip fisher
charlie munger
peter lynch

are there any books you would recommend?

Hi Friends,

Actually i need guidance on some momentum or trading stocks ?
I want to know some stocks, that i can purchase on corrections or when markets are lower, and sell them when the market is positive
, this way i can rotate my capital,without blocking it.

Awaiting your quickest response,

Thanks & Regards,

Jean-Claude Juncker, the EU’s ‘Mr Euro’, has given the clearest warning to date that the world authorities may take action to halt the collapse of the dollar and undercut commodity speculation by hedge funds.

Momentum traders have blithely ignored last week’s accord by the G7 powers, which described "sharp fluctuations in major currencies" as a threat to economic and financial stability.

The euro has surged to fresh records this week, touching .5982 against the dollar and £0.8098 against sterling yesterday.
