    Q2 results to set the paceBy Sanjay R. BhatiaPositive global market cues helped the domestic markets move higher but selling pressure and profit booking was visibleat higher levels. The breadth of the market remained negative amidst lower volumes. FIIs were net sellers in the cashsegment but were net buyers in the derivatives segment. Domestic institutional investors, however, remained net buyersand were seen supporting the markets.Inflation continued to move higher and remains a cause of concern along with the increased government borrowing. TheRBI may raise interest rates again in its forthcoming policy announcement in the last week of October if the inflationarytrend continues. On the global economy front, although the German Parliament has passed the Greece bailout packagethe Euro zone worries remain a matter of concern for global markets.Technically, the Stochastic and KST are placed above their respective averages on the daily charts, which is a positive signfor the markets and would fuel buying support. However, the prevalent technical negatives would continue to weigh onthe markets and would cap the upside gains. The RSI and MACD are placed below their respective averages. Moreoverthe MACD and KST are placed in the negative territory, which would fuel profit taking and selling pressure at higher

    levels. The Stochastic, MACD, RSI and KSTare placed below their respective averageson weekly charts. The Nifty continues totrade below its 200-day SMA. Further the50-day SMA is placed below the 100-daySMA. The ADX, +DI line and -DI line aremoving sideways and indicate a rangebound trend. The market sentimentremains cautious as the Nifty has onceagain breached the 4987 support level.Now, it is important that the Nifty movesup and sustains above the 4987 level for it

    to test the 4161-4211 resistance zone. IfNifty fails to sustain above the 4987 level,then the markets could drift lower for theNifty to test the 4757 level. The overalltrend is likely to remain range bound.Broadly, the range of the market this monthwould be 4757-5211. The next domestic trigger for the markets would be the forthcoming Q2 results and would set thepace for the markets. In the meanwhile, the markets would take cues from the dollar index, Rupee value, crude prices andglobal markets.

The support levels for the Nifty are placed at 4757, 4563 and 4387 but it facesresistance at the 4957, 5161, 5211 and 5325 levels. Investors should avoid long positions.

    Manmohan, please get goingBy Fakhri H. Sabuwala

    A statement by Prime Minister (PM), Manmohan Singh last week could well find a place in the column of ‘Thought forthe day’. It reads as follows: ‘A fast growing India can expand the boundaries for the global economy.' Well said Mr. PMbut the key of this engine is with you and till you don't take action, its just inertia.Stock indices the world over indicate bad weather everywhere. In fact, the panic is worldwide. IMF felt that the worldeconomy is in a dangerous terrain and our PM, Manmohan Singh, warned at the UN General Assembly against the threaof protectionism.The US Federal Reserve is raising concerns about the health of the world’s largest economy. Europe is on the global radarand the whole of Eurozone is seen fast morphing into epicentre of renewed global tremors’. China, on whose progress theworld has pointed hopes, of pulling the world out of this mess, shows no meaningful signs of revival.The G20 countries tried to reassure the world markets of their coordinated action as seen in the post Lehman days.Finance Minister, Pranab Mukherjee, recommended investments flowing into the infrastructure segment of thedeveloping world. This will help provide avenues for floating funds besides buoying the global economy. The main

    worry of investors the world over is in the way the developed economies tackle indebtedness and the sputtering growthdespite near zero interest rates and growing joblessness. The G20 nations are aware of this difficulty and feel the decisiveaction is as much political as economical. Last but not the least, Europe's dispute on the bailout mechanisms raise doubtsabout Eurozone's survival.While India can boast of comparatively enviable growth rates, it is on a far lower base. As now aspirations have surfacedcomplacency is a strict no-no. An economic slowdown and lack of demand in USA and Europe will surely hit us unlessnew export destinations are found. High inflation in painful conjunction with a creeping slowdown and poor fiscaconsolidation on the back of a high interest rate regime has raised the cost of borrowing and stalling the expansion plansof companies. Worse, there is policy inertia leading to capital flight and a declining rupee!Mr. PM, India's high growth cannot be sustained any longer without kickstarting the choked up reforms process. Rightand timely moves on FDI participation in retail, insurance, infrastructure and other key areas is the need of the hour. Thegovernment needs to bite the bullet and cut wasteful subsidies to garner resources in education and health programmesAn urgent need is also felt in building capacity in the manufacturing sector. A new manufacturing policy needs to beurgently introduced and it needs to be supported by tax and labour reforms. Renewed discussion on introduction of adirect tax code and GST has to be in place for implementation from the new fiscal. All important bills pertaining to tradeand commerce must be passed in this winter session. Such positive steps alone can win the confidence of industry andease direct transaction costs and help generate higher revenues while boosting factory output and employment. Anoverall optimism shall prevail and lift India from the gloom of a global slowdown.There is evidence that the inflationary pressure has resulted in higher wages in China, which will raise their cost ofproduction there and minimise the advantage that it long enjoyed. This will provide India an opportunity to catch up andwe need to prepare ourselves for it.Government need not boost investors confidence by reducing the STT and stamp duty on secondary market contracts buthere is a strong need to woo investors back to Dalal Street by some meaningful incentives on equity investments.'The elephant has awakened' the world had said about the Indian economy. Let us, therefore, demonstrate our sharp andsensitive regulatory systems. Rules governing land acquisitions and environmental clearances should not delay the

    projects and make them unviable. Dear PM, let us not make the global gloom an excuse for domestic lethargy. Instead, leus rise in these dark days with hope and a firm resolve. Let this Dassera be the celebration of killing the modern Ravanicdemon called complacency and Government inertia. Manmohan Singh, please get going.

    TRADING ON TECHNICALS

    Support cluster at 15765-15330By Hitendra VasudeoLast week, the BSE Sensex opened at 16209.19 attained a low at 15801.01 and moved up to 16756.08 before it closed theweek at 16453.76 and thereby showed a net rise of 292 points on a week-to-week basis.

    In the strategy for the week, we had indicated to hold short positions with a stop loss of 17212. The same has not beenviolated yet. Alternatively, we had suggested selling on the rise to 16468-16884. The high registered last week was16756.08 and closed at 16453.76.Volatility between 17212-15700 is being witnessed for the past 5 weeks. The breakdown from the support range of 1731417295 was witnessed in the week ended on 5 August 2011. Since then, the Sensex has not crossed 17314 and continues toremain below it. It tested the support clusterof 15960, 15651 and 15330. Till now, the lowis 15765. The broad defined range is 17314-15765 for about 8 weeks since the

    breakdown in the week mentioned above.The RSI has moved up a bit after hitting the‘oversold’ zone. If the resistance of 17314 iscrossed strongly with a weekly positivecandle, we may find the rise gettingextended towards the falling trend line. Thefalling trend line is taken from the lowerhigh of 2064 and 19131. The current value ofthe trend-line is around 18000approximately.Similarly, the low made in the past fewweeks is 15765 and the same was tested last

    week as it made a low of 15801. Even if itbreaks 15700, recovery could be witnessedfrom the lower range of 15650-15330, which makes it unclear whether to go short on violation of support.On the daily chart, on Friday, 30 September 2011, we saw an In Day pattern. Therefore, a rise and close above 2 days highor 2 days low may decide the course of movement this week. The 2 days high and low is at 16756 and 16316.On the weekly charts, the lower band of the Bollinger Bands is being tested and if the resistance of 17314 is crossed, thenwe may see an extended pullback. But when we see daily charts, we have too many gaps in the higher range, which doesnot impart confidence about its sustainability in the higher range. We may, therefore, witness a prolonged sidewaysvolatility before it actually cracks down or spikes up.On the wave structure, we may find that Wave b of Wave C may not have ended as the support of 15765 is not yeviolated. Alternately, we may find Wave a of Wave C ended at 15764 may not have actually ended if the fall below 15765becomes vertical.

    The support cluster of 15765-15330 may hold the fall unless the crack is vertically below the support level. Weeklyresistance will be at 16872-17212-17314 while the weekly support will be at 16336-15917. A strong weekly close above17314 with a weekly positive candle may mark a near term to short term reversal for a pullback of the fall from 19132 to15764. Wave Tree:

    institutional clients, it has set up an institutional desk’ to cater them and has even filed applications for empanelment withseveral foreign institutional investors. On the other hand, it is in the process of setting up an internet-based platform toestablish online trading capabilities to complement its products and services. For this, it has acquired PRP TechnologiesLtd., a company that launched an internet-based personal resource planning application software to provide informationmanagement services to individuals. Moreover, it may also consider growth opportunities through the inorganic routefrom time to time. In fact, it is about to make a strategic investment in a company called MYJOY Fun & Food Pvt. Ltd., afood processing company as it foresees tremendous potential in the integrated food processing business and expects theinvestment to yield good returns in the long run. It is also looking at the education space for some investments.To fund its growth plans, the company had come out with an IPO in September 2010 and raised nearly Rs.150 crore at

    Rs.118 per share. Incidentally, the issue received an overwhelming response and was oversubscribed by about 12 times.Although MFSL is in an expansion mode and the future looks promising, it is expected to report muted performance inshort-term considering the current economic scenario. The participation of retail investors in secondary market has driedup, the volume of IPOs, QIPs has also come down significantly and interest rates have hardened considerably and haveaffected the company’s business one way or the other. However under the leadership of veterans like Mr. Banwari LalMittal & Mr. Ravi Kant Sharma, the group is slated to overcome all external and internal challenges and come out as awinner. Fundamentally, the group has done well in FY11 as its consolidated revenue and PAT grew by 35% to Rs.78 croreand Rs.33 crore respectively posting an EPS of over Rs.10 on its equity base of Rs.31.80 crore. However for Q1FY12, itposted bit disappointing performance as the topline declined by 15% to about Rs.15 crore and net profit dropped by 30%to Rs.5.2 crore on a consolidated basis. Still, it recorded an EPS of Rs.1.60 for the quarter. Accordingly, it is expected toend FY12 with a PAT of Rs.25 crore. At the current market cap of less than Rs.100 crore, it is trading grossly cheapInvestors are recommended to buy this stock at current levels and hold it for a year or so for handsome returns.

    The market remained volatile last week as traders rolled over positions in the Futures & Options (F&O) segment from theSeptember 2011 series to October 2011 series on expiry on Thursday, 29 September 2011.CRISIL Research expects corporate India to report significant moderation in revenue growth and lower EBITDA (earningsbefore interest, taxation, deprecation and amortization) margins in Q2FY12 primarily due to a decline in consumerconfidence on the back of a stubbornly high inflation, rising interest rates and a slowdown in investment growth. Basedon an analysis of the aggregate financial performance of select companies across 21 industries, excluding banks and oicompanies, CRISIL Research expects around 15% revenue growth in Q2FY12 as compared to 19% growth in Q1FY12 and22% growth in Q2FY11. Although companies have hiked prices, slower volume growth along with high input costs andrising wages will put pressure on corporate margins, says CRISIL. It expects a 100 basis points (bps) reduction in EBITDA

    margins in Q2FY12 from 19.5% in Q1FY12. Further with the increase in interest rates, net margins are expected to falleven more sharply.According to CRISIL, sales volumes in consumption linked and interest rate sensitive sectors such as automobiles, realestate, textiles, and retail have been significantly impacted. In infrastructure linked sectors such as cement, capital goodsand construction, order book/volume growth has declined.Monsoon rains were 2% above average till 28 September 2011. India is aiming for record food grain output of over 245million tonnes this crop year that began on July 1 as well as bumper cotton, sugarcane and other crops. A good monsoonseason can typically boost rural farm incomes and impact the wider economy through increased spending on consumergoods as well as reduced food prices.Trading for the week began on a lower note. The Sensex dropped for the fourth day in a row on Monday, 26 September2011 to 1 month closing lows as anxiety of weak Q2FY12 corporate results and data on recent selling by foreign fundsweighed on investor sentiment. The Sensex fell 110.96 points or 0.69% to close at 16,051.10.

    The media reports that the finance ministry is considering some tax cuts on equities to lower transaction costs andbroaden participation in the market helped the market snap the 4-day losing streak on Tuesday, 27 September 2011. Arally in world stocks triggered by reports that the European policy makers are considering new plans to supportEuropean countries struggling with debt aided a rally on domestic indices. The Sensex rose 472.93 points or 2.95% to closeat 16,524.03.The Sensex edged lower amid intra-day volatility on Wednesday, 28 September 2011 and fell 78.01 points or 0.47% toclose at 16,446.02.On Thursday, 29 September 2011, it attained the highest closing level in more than a week supported by firm globalstocks and higher US index futures. The Sensex rose 252.05 points or 1.53% to settle at 16,698.07.As world stocks fell on Friday, 30 September 2011, the Sensex fell 244.31 points or 1.46% finally to settle at 16,453.76.The Sensex advanced 291.70 points to settle at 16,453.76 last week. The next week is a truncated trading week. As financiamarkets are closed on Thursday, 6 October 2011 on account of Dassera.

    Market Participants will keep focusing the management commentary at the time of announcement of Q2FY12 results,which will provide cues on futures earnings outlook.Stock specific action may be witnessed on the indices ahead of Q2 result season which starts during the second week ofOctober 2011. The advance tax payment by top 100 companies rose a modest 9.9% in Q2FY12 from a year ago against 19%growth in Q1FY12 suggesting corporate profit growth is likely to be muted in the second quarter.Auto and cement shares will be in focus this week as companies from these two sectors start unveiling monthly sales datafor September 2011. Cement sales is likely to pick up as monsoon withdraws. On the other hand, higher interest rates andrecent petrol price hike is expected to adversely impact sales of cars and 2-wheelers during the festive season. The timingof the latest petrol price hike has been bad for auto firms. The festive season started early this month and it will last untiDiwali at the end of October 2011. Sales normally pick up during the festive season every year.

    Market is directionlessBy G. S. RoongtaWhy did the BSE Sensex tank by 704 points on Thursday, 22 September 2011 followed by a further fall on Friday, 23September and Monday, 26 September 2011, taking a toll of over 1100 points in just three days? Was it only because ofglobal cues? If so, why did it bounce back 473 points on Tuesday, 27 September 2011 whereas the intra-day gains wereeven higher? The CNX Nifty, too, gained 136 points at 4971 that day. Was this again on account of global cues? No onehas any clear explanation for this sudden fall or rise!I have been repeatedly expressing my concern about the Eurozone crisis, which is a year-old issue and has nothing dowith our markets. Yet whenever the market weakens, the analysts, press and TV channels attribute it to the Eurozone

    crisis or the recession in the US as the reason for the fall. This has become the patent trade mark of these entities andrepeated ad nauseam.Similarly, the bounce back is correlated to the relief package or bailout to debt ridden EU countries. But nothing has beenspecifically confirmed. Thus our economic fundamentals and corporate reasons for growth have been totally ignored andthe market sentiment is dictated by the economic woes of the US or EU!

    It is so strange that technical experts start issuing guidelines in anticipation of the markets fallingfurther to touch new bottoms despite being proved wrong time and again by these short-termguidelines. In the week before last, several analysts had started giving calls for the Nifty to hit the4500 mark and the Sensex to test the 15000 level. But once again, they were proved wrong as the

    markets bounced back last week on Tuesday, 27 September 2011, gaining 473 points forcing shorsellers to rush and cover up their short positions as quickly as possible before the expiry of theSeptember 2011 F&O series on Thursday, 29 September 2011. As a result, the markets bounced backsmartly without any fundamental merit based on the technical grounds just like it did on Friday, 23September 2011 when it fell down on fears of negative news.

    Thus the market has turned extremely volatile based on contradictory position of global cues. Believe it or not, thissluggishness of the market is not on account of the Eurozone crisis or the rising inflation or the US slowdown but onaccount of the excessive speculation in the F&O trading. This, in turn, makes them worry whenever the market declinesor rises beyond their expectations and forces them to cover their outstanding positions fast to cut their losses and dashingtheir hopes of making quick money. Technical experts are the ones that lure such folks to act upon their calls. Butinvestors who indulge in such activities rarely make money and often get stuck in the volatility of the market.Over the last several months, the market has been moving within a range of 2000 points on the Sensex and 600-700 points

    on the Nifty forcing this class of gamblers to gain sometimes but lose more often than what they had gained earlier.However, the technical experts always get away with the excuse that their guidelines were for both sides indentifying thedifferent levels for a rise or a fall.As long as traders keep on gambling and do not take delivery, they are unlikely to benefit as they cannot keep theiroutstanding position open for long because of their limited financial strength. Such a scenario results in limited gains buunlimited losses in a severely volatile market as experienced on 23 & 27 September 2011.Readers may recall that that I have been stating this as the only reason for the low cash market volumes, which aredeclining day by day while the F&O speculation is on the rise ever since 2005. More and more people are turning tospeculation while withdrawing from short or long-term investments.On an average, the Sensex fluctuates within 150-200 points and the Nifty within 25-50 points on a daily basis. One cantrade in this range so frequently at reasonable quotes for a buy/sell in a single day and gain of Rs.250 or lose Rs.500 on adaily basis by squaring up the position on a day-to-day basis without any investment. Such traders, however, do not

    calculate the extent of loss on a monthly or quarterly basis.Truly speaking, if these traders were making money in speculation, then there was no reason for the markets to fall.Instead they should have gone up as the number of people losing money is in lakhs while those gaining are few innumbers including the speculators. The gambling nowadays is not confined to only stocks but also commodities likecopper, aluminium, steel, silver and gold. Thus speculation has now become more popular and fashionable irrespective othe gains/loss made by investors.Gold and silver prices crashed last week and goldsmiths are reported to be in a very diffcult position as they had boughtthe stocks at very high prices to make ornaments for the festive season. They are stuck in a very tight situation if theprices fall further, they will face a situation similar to that of equity investors who had invested in the stock market a yearago.Last week, one of my HNI clients called and informed me that he had news from a reliable source that gold and silverwas set to rise and hit a new high. Believe it or not, I advised him that gold and silver are already too high as severalcountries had chosen them as a hedge for troubled times and there was little reason to stretch them further. And if they

    were stretched further, there is a likelihood of their crashing.This HNI is a staunch reader of Money Times for decades and has never missed an issue. But sometimes gets carriedaway by the advice of people holding high positions in the market such as technical experts, fund managers, etc. Butwhen gold and silver prices crashed last week, he realized that Money Times has a wiser team of analysts compared tothe people holding high ranks and positions in the market.These highly ranked advisors keep on changing their stand according to the market fluctuation on either side without anylong-term vision. But as Money Times readers are aware, I stick to my observations based on corporate news, growth andearnings and hardly ever need to change my outlook.

    I have not made any specific recommendation in the last several issues knowing fully well that investors are in no moodto follow them in a bad market. Scrips like Arvind Ltd., recommended by me a little over a year back at around Rs.32,touched a 52-week high at Rs.101.70 on Wednesday, 28 September 2011. Recently, GSFC has also hit an all time high atRs.465. My other favourites like SRF Ltd.,Sarda Energy, Shanthi Gears, GraphiteIndia, Greaves Cotton, Elecon Engineeringare a few stocks that are performingextremely well compared to other analystswhose recommendations have fallen below

    their 52-week lows whether in the A or Bgroup.To deal with the psyche of investors is avery delicate job and analysts must be fairwhile making recommendations based ontrue facts rather than base it on theirpersonal interests. This is how investorsland in a soup when they act upon suchmotivated recommendations, whichultimately fails in the long run even thoughit may record a rise for a while. The marketwill remain volatile till Thursday, 29

    September 2011 on account of the expiry ofSeptember 2011 F&O contracts but is likelyto close much higher than last week’s closing.

     Mr. Roongta had submitted this article on the evening of Wednesday, 28 September 2011, as he was proceedingoutstation. As per his forecast, on Friday, 30 September 2011, the Sensex closed the week at 16453.76 and the Nifty at

    According to a report titled 'India Organised Retail Market 2010 published by Knight Frank India in May 2010 around 55million sq. ft. of new retail space will be ready in Mumbai, National Capital Region (NCR), Bengaluru, Kolkata, ChennaiHyderabad and Pune during 2010-12. During this period, the organised retail real estate stock will grow from the existing41 million sq. ft. to 95 million sq. ft. and India will continue to attract global retailers.However, the retail sector continues to have restrictions on FDI and many global players are awaiting relaxation in FDInorms to enter India or to enhance their investments in the country. The recent pronouncements about potentiallyallowing upto 51% FDI in multi brand retail, subject to conditions could ease the access of multinational retailers to enterIndia. KKCL believes that while the entry of foreign players will mean more competition, it will also enhance the growthopportunities as the level of fashion consciousness and willingness to spend increases.

    KKCL is targeting to provide its customers with a complete lifestyle experience and has introduced 'Addictions' range ofaccessories to complement its core portfolio of products. So far, there has not been any discernible evidence of aslowdown but the biggest threat remains the impact of continued inflationary conditions and rising interest rates thamay impact the customers' wallet share of discretionary expenditure.Despite these challenges, the outlook for the industry is promising largely because of the fast evolving consumptionpatterns and accelerated economic expansion in emerging economies. India is now witnessing a consumption boom, andthis phenomenon is here to stay as the economy continues to expand. KKCL is committed to capitalise on this tremendousmarket potential through enhanced innovation and brand visibility to drive growth and reinforce business sustainability.For FY12, KKCL is expected to post a net profit of Rs.63 crore on sales of about Rs.340 crore, and would fetch an EPS ofRs.51, which could go up to Rs.60 in FY13.At the current market price of Rs.830, the share is trading at a P/E multiple of 16.2 on FY12 estimated earnings and 13.8times the FY13 projected earnings.
