Oops …you’re right. Garware Tech fibres chart is not showing any strength , hence it is not in our focus as of now,whereas Garware Hi Tech is showing momentum.
Please can provide your feedback on CARYSIL and CMS Info. Does this stock have strength for short and mid term? Below are my observation
i) CMS Info : Stock doesn’t move much. Slow and Steady upwards. How to identify low beta stock? Please share which tool to use to see the high and low beta stock. What parameters decided the stock will be low or high beta in future?
ii) CARYSIL: Waiting for the Fed rate cut to happen for next big trigger. Stock is fluctuating between 780 to 1100.
Disclaimer : Views are biased as I have the stock from lower level.
@Ankurv Obviously its in stage 2, but it has been in stage 2 from April 2024, so if you are a pure momentum investor, you can take entry now also…but if you are a breakout based safe entry momentum investor, then the time for entry was in April 2024…Depends on your view.
And let’s keep in consideration that no movements are straight - you get counter-trend bounces in a bear market and you get corrections in a bull-market.
Big fan of your posts—they’ve been incredibly helpful. In fact, your insights kept me afloat when my boat was already sinking back in March 2022. I was on the verge of quitting, but your posts gave me the perspective to stay the course.
Fast forward to today, I’ve learned a few things and feel like a better participant. Thanks to your insights, I managed to navigate through and stay in the game. After the recent correction, I’m sitting on a 2X return (1X gain), fully invested. This will be my first real experience with a bear market.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve also attempted to draw some channel trends based on my understanding. Small-caps and micro-caps have managed to stay above the 8-bar channel, whereas in previous instances, they broke down within the same time frame. Not sure if my interpretation is correct, though…
Market structure is somewhat weak as a result of weakning economy. We might get some temporary rally but overall trend is down . And a correction of 4 years bull-market generally does not end so quickly , so we think that it is time to be patient and let the storm pass.
Well it depends upon individual -to-individual (no 2 persons are same) and his conviction on his chosen stocks + levels of % profit in specific stocks.
As far as we’re conscerned (we’re medium term investor i.e we enter a stock with 3-5 years prespective),but once we identify that overall trend has become bearish,we tend to exit wherever
a) profit % is small
b) where we’re in loss
c) where the stock-price breaks 40 week moving average.
We’re currently 80% in cash and only keeping the following :
Narayana
Wockhardt
Zentech (ready for further drawdown)
ITC Hotel ,Credit Access (. recent entries)
These are no buy/sell recommendations . We can exit anyday any of these or all of these without informing.
b) Valuations had not gone too high in 2022 , the small cap index (as shown in above chart) moved from 9500 (2017 peak ) to 12000 ( 2022 peak ) -just 26% in 5 years .
Whereas index moved from 12000 (2022 peak) to 19000 (2024 peak) - a rise of 58% in 2 years .That has been too fast and too much rise in a short period.
Due to this fast movement , it seems that we’ve lot of built in froth in certain pockets of the market. And many a times ,it has been observed that taking away this much of froth takes some time.
Also we’d like add here that we’re still in a mega-bull run but current pause may last little longer.
We would also like to say that this is our understanding as of now and we’ve a right to be wrong as we don’t claim to be experts.We’re just sharing our opinion. Everyone needs to use their own discretion.
Thanks for replying . I am no chart expert but it seems to me the definitions are a bit random . You gave example of Smallcap index from 2017 but as far as I saw it, it rose from 4000 to 12000 between 2020 march and 2022 Feb and then corrected by 33% to around 8000 .So two years of bull market and 3X rise and then 9 months of bear market and 1/3rd drop, before another 2 years bull market and now we are probably in 4th or 5th month of bear market . By definition bear market is 20% correction and it’s better to stick to it .
Going by your method, if we recover in next 3 or 4 months, you will not consider this a bear market 2 years down the line and if it does not recover and drags for a year ,you would consider it a bear market .
While on paper looking backward it seems that it was 9 month long, It was a period of extreme pessimism till November 22 . In fact very few people thought bear market is over until it had been over for 6 months already.
I frankly have no idea when the markets will recover but I have an aversion to shifting goalposts to fit the narrative which seemed to be the case here .
However, I totally agree that it’s a time to be cautious and not be hasty .
Because inflation is expected to go high because of tariffs and markets are worried it will cause a response from policy makers where interest rates might be increased again like what they did in 2022
Gold, oil and stocks related to commodities might be a good buy.
