From news story at link here:
His comments come a day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during an interaction with women journalists in New Delhi, said he did not wish to have a television debate with Advani as he did not want to accord Advani the privilege of being “an alternative prime minister”.
Read More...I was not looking at market so closely during last few days due to other work. Here is an analysis of broad market and Nifty compared to 5 and 20 trading days before. The rows in bold give sense of market strengthening in short term. The average stock is outperforming the Nifty in last few days. The advance decline is very strong too. Volumes in cash market have surged
This probably means any correction if at all may be sideways, to 3250 maybe. During that time, individual stocks may continue to sparkle and give more opportunities.
Read More...After a profit taking day, it is good to check how broad market is doing.
1. The AD ratio has been good in last 5 trading sessions.
2. No of stocks > 50 DMA is now > 400 for 2 days in a row. Bodes well for broad market, and the negative sentiment which remained for almost 2 months after Satyam fiasco is not not there anymore.

Nifty has advanced 8.6% in 5 trading sessions from 2573 on 9th Mar to 2794 today.
Following table gives information on Nifty percent changes and stocks AD ratio over 5 days. That information is based on day to day comparison.
Later in the table it gives up and down % changes over 5 days. So Today figure in Up % 5 Days refers to % change from price 5 days ago i.e. D-5. D-1 figure refers to % change from D-6. It will be easier to figure out from table given below.
Read More...Nifty made a quick attempt to cross 50 Day MA in morning trade but failed from there. It was expected since it would have been a miracle to rise so fast in a short time and then close above 50 DMA in a jiffy!
What’s more interesting is the way NH-NL has moved sharply from -390 on 6-Mar to -36 today. It points to strengthening in broad market. An almost about turn from a few months low to near 0 levels!
AD ratio has been doing rather well. Even today value of 0.95 is not bad for a down day and volatile one at that.

BSE Bankex. The laggard of Nifty. If it does not go down a lot from here that will be good enough.
Read More...Reliance and ONGC are the two big daddies of Nifty. So Nifty movements cannot diverge significantly from what these 2 are doing.
Reliance chart below shows a broad range with upsloping trendlne at bottom. That upslope in trendline means in fact that Nifty is being supported between 2500-2600 by Reliance. Other indices like Bankex and Capital goods index might be doing badly in recent past but they cannot bring Nifty down on their own.
Read More...A few days back I had given my understanding of Gold futures here.
On looking back, I realize that I was hasty in drawing conclusion that a seeming support at trend channel’s lower line will lead to bounce back to 1000 levels. One of the major reason against it was the continuous decline for 7 days before the bounce day finally happened. Needless to say, I stand corrected and wiser.
Below is the chart as of Fri. The picture has become interesting now:

I am not a trained economist so I will make my arguments based on my knowledge and some healthy dose of common sense. I will assume the recent trend growth rate to be 8-9%, because 9% was around the number at which economy grew in last 3 years. For 2 years before that it was healthy above 8% rates. So a significant slowdown would be one where the growth rate becomes half of the recent trend growth rate. A 4-4.5% growth rate for FY10 would mean that we slowed down.
Read More...After 2 holidays, good volumes seen in both cash and NF. NF vol for last 4-5 days are quite good in fact.
I have now added information for 5 days at a glance. I plan to post the table some days of the week when there is some insight in data. With 5 days of information, one will be able to see the trend and values from previous days too.
