Buy on dips :Videocon Inds at 220-240 hold for Target Rs255: The stock continues to be in an uptrend after breaking out a downward-sloping trend line since January 2010. The momentum indicator RSI is exhibiting positive movement suggesting further upside in the near term. We believe a move past Rs244 will see the stock testing January 2010 peak. Keeping in mind the above mentioned technical parameters, we recommend traders to buy the stock in the range of Rs220-240 with SL of Rs217 for target of Rs255 and Rs260 plus in coming days.
Strategy Note: Budget Preview 2010-11 – ‘Tightening Purse Strings’
We expect significant positive measures for the rural economy, in line with the government’s agenda of inclusive growth, infrastructure development and educational reform. Announcement on disinvestment and GST roadmap will be tracked closely. The budget is unlikely to cause any negative impact for equities. However, it may fall short of the triggers to boost the markets. The expected excise hike could act as a near-term depressant for certain sectors
Fiscal prudence is expected to be the primary agenda of Budget 2010-11. This is certainly not the year for industry-specific freebies or any galloping gross budgetary support. Instead, the Finance Minister will aim at bringing down fiscal deficit, largely through stimulus withdrawals, disinvestments and 3G auctions, among others. Inflation control measures (mainly food inflation) will also be a focus area.
Keep profit booking at higher levels, hold delivery, do not over trade stay light, siting on cash will WIN. Budget my surprise all either way. Avoid this pre budget positions.
Happy Budgeting.. oh!! Happy trading..

Pre Market Commentary ..
We expect a weak start in India amid concerns on monetary tightening worldwide. One needs to be careful amid constant flow of news and heightened market volatility across asset classes. Inflation is threatening to touch double digits though the RBI maintains it won’t hike rates before April. But then the RBI too could surprise if inflation shoots up sharply.
The bears will be pleasantly surprised as investors find themselves in a season of surprises. After China’s unexpected second hike in the reserve ratio last week, the Fed has increased the discount rate by 25 basis points. The US central bank said the move reflects improvements in the US economy and does not reflect a change in policy.
Late last week, Fed chief Ben Bernanke had indicated a move was coming, but no many anticipated any action between meetings. The dollar is up while gold prices have slipped further. Crude oil too is also up. The Fed move came after Wall Street trading, where US stocks gained in a volatile session. European shares advanced but Asian markets are mixed. China market remains shut.
Nestle India, SKF India and Wyeth will announce their results today.

Market Commentary ...
Today,we expect a subdued opening owing to mixed global cues. Asian markets are down mostly, barring Japan. Chinese markets will resume trading next week. US stocks closed higher and European stocks rose for a third straight session. We expect a choppy session with a slightly positive bias. The run-up if any to the budget can be used to get out of event-related counters.
The spurts of green in recent times give some confidence that the world has weathered the financial storm well so far. We still have to get out of the woods and on to a highway. For every 2-3 good news is encountered with a set of bad news, which sometimes triggers unnecessary panic. China is overheated while Europe is facing certain debt issues. The US is growing but the quality of recovery is questionable. Unemployment is still pretty high in the matured economies.
For India, the big issue is inflation and its broader economic fallout. Interest rates are set to head north, slowly but surely; need not be steadily though. The Government has limited elbow room on account of a bloated fiscal deficit. With the economy doing well, a partial rollback of fiscal stimulus is definitely on the cards.

Pre Market Commentary
The difficulties seem to take a back seat as the market is slated to open in the green. US stocks took off well after a President’s Day break following better-than-expected quarterly results from Merck and Barclays. Commodity prices and shares got a boost from a weaker dollar.
A kind of suspense continues on the outcome of the budget which is keeping investors on tenterhooks. With LIC expecting to invest further ~Rs100bn in the equity markets by March-end, many hope to quickly ride past the 5000 mark around budget time.
The Dow Jones rose 170 points, its biggest daily gain since Nov. 9 ‘09. The S&P 500 was up 1.8% while the Nasdaq added 1.4%. Asian markets are all up ~2%.
With most of the major Asian markets back with a bang we expect a solid start. However, one must not forget possibilities of a partial and calibrated rollback of the fiscal stimulus. Another daunting task for the government is to cap inflation which is on the verge of crossing double digit.

Pre Market Commentary...
We expect a steady start today. Japan and South Korea have gained modestly while stock benchmarks in Europe rose marginally. Avoid taking any major call on either side. Use the uncertainty and consolidation to rejig your portfolio.
The uncertainness in recent times does not really offer much of a choice to take a chance. Brazil’s market is shut on account of the Carnival while a few Asian markets are closed for the Lunar New Year. For India and other world markets that are open for trading, there are hardly any reasons to celebrate - at least for the time being.
If anything, worries have got compounded of late. Concerns over China’s monetary tightening, debt troubles in the EU and the jobless economic recovery in the US are among the woes. Back home, while things appear to be getting better for the economy, inflation, at the same time, is threatening to cross double digits soon. Budget is just a few days away and could herald partial and calibrated rollback of the fiscal stimulus. Monsoon will be crucial, as India can hardly afford another bad rainy season.

Pre Market Commentary ...
Today, we expect a flat to slightly positive start for Indian markets with a likelihood of another short-covering-led bounce. Do not get carried away by any sudden spurt if any as the upside too could get capped sooner than later. In the near term, the Nifty could rise to the 5000 levels again; and perhaps cross 5000 before the Budget. On the whole, the market will remain volatile, largely owing to external factors and concerns over FII outflows. Outcome of the Budget will be another factor to determine near-term direction.
The market remains in a precarious situation. It is time to keep your heart, mind, eyes and ears open before taking a decision. The extended weekend brought mixed news. The industrial output data for December surpassed all optimistic estimates. China surprised by raising the reserve ratio for banks. Data also showed that Eurozone growth came to a halt in the last quarter of 2009. Among the other bad news was of course the blast in Pune just as India and Pakistan get ready to resume bilateral dialogue. On the M&A front, reports suggest that Kuwait-based Zain is said to have accepted a $10.7bn offer from Bharti Airtel for its African assets.
