#Profit Booking was suggested on Nifty Futures yesterday. The Premium Members were sent following messages on their Whatsapp on Sunday: "Nifty can slip to 11068 and 10863 on the downward spiral. Any dead cat bounce should be used to short. The Weekly RSI (of Nifty) stood at 53.8861 and has marked a fresh 14-period low, which is a bearish indication. The daily RSI is at 37.14, which is also does not favour the bulls. 

Bottomline: SELL."

I hope most of the members of my Premium Information  Service, who shorted the Nifty on Monday have made good profits on their trades. Today obviously the Nifty bounced back as expected and closed at 11,067.45 up 100.05 point or 0.91%. To get such calls, you need to Join my Premium Information Service. 

#However, compulsory Buyers were asked to accumulate the stock of Max India Ltd at around Rs.81 and at every market decline, yesterday for good medium to long term return. The stock closed at Rs.83 in the NSE today. We are looking for short term targets of Rs.91-92, in the coming weeks. Max India Limited, a multi-business corporate, is part of the US$ 3 billion Max Group and the holding company for Max Healthcare, Max Bupa Health Insurance, etc. Keep accumulating!! However, this is a NOT a momentum counter. 

#An exit was suggested from the scrip of HDIL at around Rs.28 to the Premium Members after it was finding hard to cross some key resistance levels. Most  of my Paid Members booked profits at around Rs.35-36 -- the scrip closed at Rs.21.95 today. Stay with me and make money. 

#Though Nifty Spot has given a close at 11067.45 with a gain of around 100.05 points, it is likely to face resistance at around 11075, from where the shorts could be initiated, with a SL at 11370,

#The scrip of MOIL Ltd can be accumulated at the CMP of Rs.173,95, with a SL at Rs,171. State-owned MOIL is looking to develop high-grade manganese  for batteries which could be used in electric vehicles (EVs). This stock could be the next big thing as the sale of electric vehicles picks up steam in the coming days. The government of India is aggressively pushing for electric vehicles to curb air pollution. Buy with a 2-3 years perspective, and hold it like your Fixed Deposits.
