Learn Technical Analysis from the experts
CNBC-TV18’s show ‘The Informed Investor’ invited two of the world's famous Technical Analysts Yamada & Roth to explain what technical analysis is and how to use them? Must read and watch for any investor or trader aspiring to learn technical analysis.
The transcript of the conversation is given below:
Diesel prices hiked by Rs 3, LPG by Rs 50
The government today decided to raise diesel prices by Rs 3 per litre and domestic LPG cylinder prices by Rs 50.Kerosene prices hiked by Rs 2 per litre. It scrapped import duty on petroleum products by 5%, Oil Minister S Jaipal Reddy said. Customs duty on diesel cut from 7.5% to 2.5%, he said.
The oil refining companies currently incur an under-recovery or revenue loss of Rs 13.72 on every litre of diesel, Rs 26.16 on every litre of kerosene and Rs 381 for every LPG cylinder.
The probability of another round of rate hike in July by RBI has increased substantially after this decision. High food inflation numbers published yesterday were already enough to suspect another rate hike to combat inflation. But this round of another fuel price hike would add to the inflation pressure and could compel RBI to increase rates by at least 25 bps if not 50 bps.

Largecaps or Midcaps?
The hot question buzzing in the market is what to choose in this turbulent time, Large Cap stocks or Mid Cap stocks? Midcap stocks were already undervalued and the recent correction has made them even more undervalued, but large cap stocks which used to be on the expensive side some time back now looks reasonable. So investors are confused on where to go.
I am a great fan of mid caps as they hold the potential of becoming multibaggers. We cannot expect Reliance Industries, ONGC, TCS, Infosys to become multibaggers in next 2 years as they already have a market cap of above of 2 lakh crores and to become even 2 bagger they need to add another 2 lakh crores to their market cap which is difficult to happen in 2 years time frame. But midcap stocks having market cap of less than 2000 crores can become multibaggers if they are trading at lower valuation and valuation re rating happens in course of next 2 years.

How to Succeed in Stock Market Investing?
Golden rules of investing in stock markets.
1. DON'T BUY ON TIPS
A retail investor is typically the last one to know of the tip. Hence he is most likely to invest when the stock has already run up and hence at a risk to lose money.
2. DON'T INVEST IN A COMPANY YOU DON"T UNDERSTANDThis is one of Warren Buffet's well known principles. Only a thorough study can give an investor enough confidence not to sell at the first sign of trouble.
3. DON'T CONFUSE INVESTING & TRADING
Trading is short term and investing is long term. Getting confused between the two can be a sure way to lose money.

Buy Sun Pharma - Recommends InvestorZclub
Short term investors and traders can go long on Sun Pharmaceuticals at the current market price of Rs. 478 for a week's target of Rs. 500 with a stop loss at Rs. 468.
The stock has outperformed SENSEX in past one month by more than 10% and has been in uptrend since mid of May 2011.
InvestorZclub believe that the Friday's correction of 3% was on account of profit taking and the stock will resume its uptrend from Monday (20th June 2011) onwards. The news of inclusion of the stock in SENSEX over this weekend is also very positive for the stock which is expected to provide strong support to the stock on the downside.
RCOM & RINFRA moves out of sensex
Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Communications would be excluded from the benchmark index SENSEX. The exchange would replace Reliance Infrastructure with state-run Coal India and Reliance Communications with Sun Pharmaceutical in the 30-stock Sensex, BSE said in a statement.
The last time Asia’s oldest stock exchange made revision in Sensex was on December 6, 2010, by removing ACC with Bajaj Auto.
Tata Steel sells Riversdale stake for $1.11 bn
Tata Steel has sold its 26.27% stake in Australian coal miner Riversdale to global mining major Rio Tinto for AUD 1.06 billion ($1.11 billion). The Anglo-Dutch miner Rio Tinto holds 73.2% stake in Riversdale, which has an estimated 13 billion tonne reserves in its two projects in Mozambique - Benga and Zambeze.
The deal would be very positive for the company as the cash flow will further reduce the net debt to equity ratio of the company.
The company reported good set of numbers in fiscal year 2011 and at the CMP of Rs.553 it's trading at attractive valuations as well (Tata steel FY11 results and valuation). However global correction in commodity prices could be a dampening factor in the short term.

Indian stock market outlook 2011 - InvestorZclub Analysis
The interest level of the investors in the market has come down significantly in the past 2 months because of indecisive market behaviour. No body seems to be making money in this kind of market and hence staying away from it. But its a very common question in every investor's mind, where will the SENSEX / NIFTY be in next 6 months. InvestorZclub believe that the answer lies in few basic facts:
1. If economy does well i.e the country grows at a faster rate than average GDP growth of the country in past three years, markets usually perform better. But its a well known fact now that India will find it very difficult to grow above 8% if high levels of inflation & Interest rate persist. Hence the macro economic support would not help the markets in next 6 months.
Reliance Industries hits 52 week low
Reliance Industries, India's largest listed company, slipped more than 1.7% on Thursday to a new year-low of Rs 885.05. Reliance has been under pressure in recent months on worries of slowing gas output from its KG blocks, off India's eastern coast.

India Inc Performance in FY- 2011
India Inc's financial performance in 2011 when compared over 2010 (snapshot below), reveals some interesting facts and figures. Though there was a growth in topline by 22% the bottom line just advanced by 9.7% thanks to interest cost which increased by more than 30%. Interest rates have clearly hurt the companies in 2011 and is expected to hurt even more in financial year 2012. Hence at InvestorZclub, we believe that we might not see an EPS growth of more than 8% in FY12. As a result we might see a dull year in terms of returns from equity investments.
Buy ICICI Bank - Recommends Aditya Birla Money
Aditya Birla Money is bullish on ICICI Bank and has recommended buy rating on the stock with a target of Rs 1100 based on technical indicators. The current market price of ICICI bank is Rs.1033. Download the research report from the following link: http://www.moneycontrol.com/news_html_files/news_attachment/2011/ICICIBank_Aditya_150611.pdf
But we at InvestorZclub believe that bank stocks should be avoided at this point of time when the interest rate has yet not peaked and RBI is expected to raise the rates further because of stubbornly high inflation.
One can start looking at quality bank stocks only after there are signs of moderation in Inflation and interest rate without which the banks would continue to under perform.
We at InvestorZclub have been bearish on banks since past few months (http://investorzclub.blogspot.com/2011/05/should-one-invest-in-banking-stocks-now.html) and continue to do so because of high inflation, interest rates and increasing NPAs.

India's largest software exporter TCS saw its tax bill nearly doubling to Rs 240 crore in the reporting period from Rs 128 crore in the year-ago quarter.

Food Inflation over 9%, all eyes on RBI
Food inflation has come in at 9.01% for the week ended May 28 which is at 2 months high. The RBI, in its monetary policy for 2011-12, had projected that overall inflation would average 9% during the first half of this fiscal. However such high inflation numbers for food prices might compell RBI to further hike the key policy rates at least by 25 bps when they meet on 16th june for policy review.
High interest rates have already started impacting the growth of the economy and any further hike in interest rates will decelerate the economy further.
25 bps is already priced in the markets currently but any negative surprise will spook the market badly. However if the key policy rates are left unchanged on 16th June, the market should positively react.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala Latest Interview June 2011
In 1985, when Big Bull Rakesh Jhunjhunwala entered the market with Rs 5,000 as his initial capital, his dream was to earn about Rs 1 lakh a month. Now after journeying through a little over a quarter a century, even the man himself doesn’t remember when he had crossed that dream to enter into the current realty of probably earning much more than a lakh of rupees every hour.
So when we meet the last Big Bull of his generation at his 15th floor office at Nariman Bhavan in Mumbai’s central business district of Nariman Point, naturally a good part of the conversation is about his wealth along with others like the ethics, tricks and the secrets of the trade.
Although various estimates put his total wealth above $1 billion, 51-year-old Jhunjhunwala wouldn’t reveal a specific number.
Baltic dry Index and Indian Shipping Industry
What is Baltic dry Index?
Baltic index is a shipping and trade index created by the London-based Baltic Exchange that measures changes in the cost to transport raw materials such as metals, grains and fossil fuels by sea. The Baltic Exchange directly contacts shipping brokers to assess price levels for a given route, product to transport and time to delivery (speed).
The Baltic Dry Index is a composite of three sub-indexes that measure different sizes of dry bulk carriers (merchant ships) - Capesize, Supramax and Panamax. Multiple geographic routes are evaluated for each index to give depth to the index's composite measurement.

The relation with shipping Industry
The falling baltic index has direct bearing on the profitability of shipping companies across the world. Following chart shows the 5 year chart of Baltic dry index and the India's larget shipping company GE Shipping. It is clearly visible that because of subdued baltic index since DEC 2009 the stock performance of the company has also been subdued.
