Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Nifty ended with 0.4% gains in a week-long holiday shortened by Bakri Eid. When markets resume trading on Monday, a host of important domestic and global events lined up during the holiday-truncated week are likely to impact them.

largecap stocks: For volatile market conditions: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 29%

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Synopsis Once again on Wednesday, there was a lesson for all who think that bull markets don't see volatility. All of sudden there was a sharp dip in Nifty and other broader market indices, except bank nifty which was trading in green thanks to the fact its largest constituent HDFC bank was trading in green. When valuations are high, volatility never gives notice before coming so one should always be prepared for it. Another point to be watched, if the frequency of the volatile phase increases and if it starts to happen every other fortnight, it might be an indication of profit booking. There is a possibility that as markets inch higher on index levels, there is some sort of rotational profit booking happening. So, it would be better to stay prepared for volatility. Another reason for staying with large caps is that valuations are high in large part of the mid and small caps and they are the ones which might lose more weight if there...

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Synopsis Banking, a sector where in the last two years winds have blown into as many directions as one could have imagined. Normalization of valuation in large private sector banks, a clean up in the PSU space. Then there is a third set of banks, where probably all these things happened. Right from tech upgrade, clean up of balance sheet, expansion of network and partial upgrade of valuation. In the last few days, there has been a debate about PSU and private banks. The third set of banks is once again not finding much mention on the street. But the fact is that over the last few years, they have been improving their performance, but because they are not majorly in the eyes of either policy makers or the street, they tend to get less attention. The reason for the improvement is a simple one, when RBI makes a change in law, it applies equally to all, whether it is HDFC banks or SBI or a bank which is neither private nor public and are some...
