Market View :
Global cues once again dominated proceedings at Dalal street with the indices opening on a strong note. US markets received a positive push after Goldman Sachs reported better than expected earnings. Sensex opened higher by 200 points moving to highs at 19350 levels. However that became the high for the day as Bears once again attacked the markets erasing all the gains taking the indices lower and lower for the day. Sensex moved below the 19K level by mid-afternoon session down by 100 points. However some heavy buying coupled with short covering lifted the sensex back to positive territory in the last hour of trades. SEnsex managed to close with marginal gains for the day at 19091 up by 12 points while the Nifty gained 9 points for the day to close at 5751.
Markets depicted high volatility moving like a see-saw. Most of the sectoral indices moved in tandem with the benchmark index fluctuating between positive and negative territory. Reality , Auto and healthcare posted marginal losses while FMCG, IT & Metals closed with 0.50% gain each. Small-caps stocks were in action managing to post gains of 0.82% due to which market breadth remained in the positive. Advances were at 1883 while Declines were at 1030. FII’s continued to be net sellers s in the equity markets as per provisional data for Rs. 1454 crs while Domestic Funds were net buyers for RS. 350 crs. FII’s had net insflows in the F&O segment as well amounting to Rs. 461 crs.
Markets snapped the 4-day losing streak to gain from lower levels and close into positive range. Technically this indicates a reversal in trend and markets may provide a pull-back rally. Nifty could recover from current levels and move to 5900+ levels in coming days. Remain positive in the markets taking yesterday’s lows as support levels.

Weekly Newsletter
2/12/2007 - 8/12/2007
The Bulls ended the month of November on a positive note led by gains in sensex heavyweights despite some huge volatile movements. Markets recovered from lower levels overcoming F&O expiry jitters and uncertainty over the US subprime tensions. Heavy outflow of FII money during the month too failed to dampen the spirits at Dalal street with Domestic Funds providing to infuse fresh funds into the equity markets. Sensex & Nifty both gained 2.70% for the week by 510 points & 154 points respectively to close at 19393 & 5763.
FII’s continued to be net sellers for most part of the week but turned net buyers on the last day of the week. Cummulative figures for the week in the equity segment were marginally in the negative for apprx Rs 135 crs {incl Friday’s positive figures for Rs. 1088 crs}. The Derivatives segment had net inflows for the week for Rs. 4480 crs. Domestic Institutions continued to support markets in form of buying and were buyers for all 5 trading sessions in the last week totaling to almost Rs. 1500 crs.
Crude prices could not touch the magical $100 mark and crashed to lose more than 10% closing at the week’s lows at $88 mark. Crude price have broken crucial support levels and could gain momentum on the higher side above $94-$95 levels.
WORLD MARKETS
Equity markets all around the Globe were boosted by Fed Reserve comments for further interest rate cuts. Major international markets rallied after sentiment improved on Wall Street. Dow Jones registered its largest percentage gain for the year as US stock rebounded on news of Abu Dhabi govt infusing US7.50bn in Citigroup. Asian as well as European markets rallied with most of them posting weekly gains of over 4% each. {except the Shanghai index which closed lower by 3%}
SECTORAL INDICES
Gains were seen in almost all the sectoral indices on the BSE after most of them had taken a hit in the previous week. Auto stocks found fresh buying support after Crude prices declined almost 10% from the record highs. Banking sector gained on optimism of the Fed Reserve will cut interest rates in its forthcoming meeting. Metals were the biggest gainers for the week. The metal index rose by 6.8% on back of strong buying in Steel stocks and Sterlite Inds.{ stock gained 17% }. IT stocks too found buying support rising by 4% for the week. Cement companies were in the news after they announced a Rs 5-10 per bag increase. Reality stocks gained after the Maharashtra govt abolished the Urban Land Ceiling Act and on Land deals in Mumbai fetching some mind-boggling valuations. Oil refinery stocks recovered sharply from lows to close higher for the week with the help of gains from RPL, Essar Oil, Mrpl & Bongaigoan Refn. Sensex gainers for the week included Bajaj Auto +6%, HDFC +10%, Bhel +5%. ACC & Hindalco were the ones dragging the sensex lower.
MID-CAP ACTION
Both the sectoral indices closed at their highest weekly level with gains over 4% for the week. Mid-caps and small-caps were once again amongst the actions with the infusion of 15 new stocks from the mid-cap space in the F&O segment. All the newly introduced stocks were the top gainers in the mid-cap space. Stocks like Everready, WWIL & DCB gained more than 25% for the week . Mid-cap media stocks & steel stocks were in limelight. Mid-caps have outperformed markets and could continue doing so for the coming months.
Markets may consolidate before reaching new heights. Momentum Positive.

Markets lost almost 1700 points in four trading sessions on back of some heavy selling pressure from the FII’s. This along with negative cues from all around the world had the indices depict some volatile movements and head down south. The indices have been moving in a huge trading range between 20K & 18K and have not been able to breach the all time highs at 20208 mark. There have been strong resilience at 20K mark and buying supports coming in at 18200-18300 mark. Global pressures could ease out in coming days which could lend support to the markets. Technically the levels of 18600 & 5500 are very important levels for the BULLS and a breach below this could spell problems & take the markets lower to 17K & 5200 mark. I strongly feel that the correction from 20K to 18K may have been over and markets would be headed to test the new highs once again. F&O expiry week could bring in volatility, but remain positive.

RPL AND RNRL – STOCK PRICES DEFY FUNDAMENTALS
Reliance Petroleum Ltd. (RPL) promoted by Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) is setting up a Rs.27,000 crore refinery of 29 million TPA at
Reliance Natural Resources Ltd. (RNRL) is a Reliance ADAG group company, which has been formed, mainly, to secure gas supply arrangement with RIL from
RPL, since implementing its refinery has not been making any profit & loss account and entire amount spent on the project is capitalized and there are no commercial activities at present. However, RNRL though, has got the allotment of coal bed methane block, onshore oil exploration blocks, exploring opportunities for import of gas, city gas distribution business and also for setting up gas terminals at coastal based locations, it does not have much of the business activities. For quarter ending September 07, RNRL had total income of Rs.61.31 crores which has resulted into an EBITDA of Rs.48.21 crores, PBT of Rs.26.75 crores and PAT of Rs.19.17 crores on equity of Rs.736.57 crores (face value of Rs.5) resulting in an EPS of 13 paise.
RPL share is now ruling at Rs.225 while RNRL is ruling at Rs.155. With the present state of activities of both the companies, nobody would really think of buying these stocks at the prevailing rates, when much better options are available. It is also strange to note that, couple of days back, RNRL had a high of Rs.199 while RPL had a high of Rs.295, on NSE.
It is surprising to see that retail investors have bought heavily into both of the stocks and mainly in F&O segment. RNRL lot size is 7,150 shares while RPL lot size is 3,350 shares. Due to this, value of both the stocks has almost touched Rs.10 lakhs, which is considered very high from retail investors’ view.
The irony is that, for the last couple of days, both these stocks have been showing a volatility of about 25% to 30% on an intra day basis, with negative bias at the closing levels. The share price has also corrected by about 20% to 25% in the last 2 days. Even options segment has been showing huge premiums on calls, which were bought by the retail investors.
Given these facts, obviously, it is very surprising to understand why retail investors are bullish on both these stocks, despite no existing fundamentals to support these stock prices. There is only one apparent reason – momentum. The retail investors have became complacent and have accepted that share price of both the companies would keep going up, one way and hence, it is very easy for anyone to make money, in F&O market, by creating long position. But now they are all stuck with their long positions and have been sitting on good amount of losses. Since some of them are unable to bear these losses, they have had to cut their positions by booking losses and leave the battle half way.
This kind of volatility has been witnessed in the stock price of REL around Dussera where share price fell by about Rs.500 to Rs.600 from a high of Rs.1,950. Though share price bounced back from Rs.1,200 to Rs.1,800 in less than a week, weak hands lost huge money in F&O segment. Same thing is going to get repeated now in case of RNRL and RPL. If the recovery process is delayed in case of these scrips, this time, traders may not be able to hold their positions due to lack of patience and of capacity to finance mark to market losses.
The message is loud and clear for traders - remain away from such volatile stocks and especially, refrain from trading into these stocks in F&O segment. It is also very much necessary to look into the fundamentals of such stocks being traded, even on technicals. Momentum or taking blind calls even on promoters, can cause huge losses in the short term, though the calls may remain profitable in the long run. So traders loose, investors gain.

Banking stocks bucked the negative news in form of a 50 bps point CRR hike by the RBI to curb capital inflows. The hike which previously used to dampen sentiment in Banking stocks failed to do so this time around. The BSE Bankex gained 9.50%. Banking majors SBI & ICICI bank hit new highs. PSU banking stocks too gained smart ground to close at its highest levels ever. Capital Goods continued to outperform the markets and gained as much as 10% for the week largely with the help of gains from L&T. The stock gained another 15% bagging another prestigious order { Mumbai Airport revamp order from GVK worth Rs.5000 crs}. ONGC had a good run from last week and was the biggest contributor to the rise in the Sensex. The stock gained 18% on higher crude prices. Metals continued to shine gaining 5.7% for the week. Auto stocks were the target of a sell-off with the CRR hike acting as a dampner. FMCG stocks too lost ground on weak results from HUL. Telecom stocks too headed south from higher levels on weak Q2 numbers, except Rcom. The top sensex gainers were Ongc{+18%}, L&T{+15%}, Tata power {+14%}, HDFC Bank{+13.80%} while draggers included HUL{-10%}, Bharti Airtel{-10%}, Hero Honda{-8.50

Sensex bucks global trend, gains 251 pts Short covering helped Indian stock markets buck the slide, as the Asian and European markets were hit by renewed concerns on subprime mortgage forcing some of the biggest Wall Street banks, including Citigroup, to report lower profits. |
On a day of choppy trades, the Sensex closed 251 points up (1.28 per cent) to settle at 19,976.23, after opening lower by more than 400 points. |
A day after the broader S&P CNX Nifty peaked 6,000-mark during intra-day trades, the 50-stock index ended 1.12 per cent higher at 5,932.40 points. |
Dealers said some foreign institutional investors were under redemption pressure to maintain their net asset values (NAVs), which triggered a sell-off in almost all sectors. |
Some hedge funds, which have now been given 18 months to unwind their P-Note (participatory note) positions, were also in a mood to sell. |
Globally, Dow Jones and Nasdaq closed lower on Thursday on concerns that losses from the US subprime mortgage will deepen. Asian indices followed the suit and Japan’s Nikkei ended 352 points lower followed by Kospi and Taiwan index, down 43.80 and 325.14 points, respectively. |
US crude hovered near $93.60 a barrel, after sliding from an all-time high of $96.24 as concerns about the US economy weighed, while gold notched up to $791.60 an ounce, keeping within sight of a 28-year peak near $800. |
The markets opened with a negative gap of 365 points but recovered almost 100 points during mid-afternoon trades and was hovering at 19,511. However, it bounced back in late afternoon and even crossed 20,000 during intra-day trades on huge short covering. |
Almost all the sectors were in positive territory by the end of Friday’s trading session. The banking index was the biggest gainer, shooting up 3.59 per cent due to heavy buying seen in State Bank of India after Bloomberg reported that the state-owned bank got government approval for a rights issue. |
SBI surged 8.74 per cent to Rs 2,251.75, HDFC Bank ended 5 per cent higher at Rs 1,758.75, Reliance Energy shot up 4.78 per cent to Rs 1,852.35 and ONGC rose 2.70 per cent to Rs 1,366.10. |
Sunil Mittal-controlled Bharti Airtel dropped 5 per cent to Rs 894.85 on concerns that proposed new rules for allocation of spectrum will hurt its growth prospects. ACC tumbled 1.90 per cent to Rs 1,032.55, Satyam Computer 1.87 per cent to Rs 462 and Cipla 1.39 per cent to Rs 173.60. |
Almost half of the stocks advanced at BSE. |
