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.
