Today's Calls:
#Those are holding the hares of Aban Offshore Ltd should exit the scrip if it breaks Rs.166 on closing basis on the downside. However, the long term investor can hold the stock with a final stop loss of Rs.159. The stock could show some positive movements in the coming days. However, keep your stop losses ready in case of the scip not performing as expected.
#Those of you who have not booked profit in Tata Motor Ltd at around Rs.376.70, should exit the scrip if Rs.362 is broken on the downs (on closing basis). The 1st stop loss at Rs.167 has already been hit and hence non-risk taking traders can exit the scrip.
#Those who are holding the shares of P C Jewelers Ltd (Rs.334) can continue to add in intraday declines, with stop losses at Rs.326/322.
#The stock of 3i Infotech Ltd (Rs.5.90) is showing a good upward movement today. You can start averaging if it gives a closing above Rs.6.
#Intraday SELL Hindustan Unilever at around Rs.1299-1300; SL: Rs.1312, T: Rs.1285. This is a pure chart based call.
#Those who wants to opt for PROFIT SHARING MODE should note the following specifications:
1. They should have to open an account with BMA Wealth Creators Ltd, with a minimum portfolio size of Rs.3 lakhs (increase from Rs.1 lakh and then 2 lakhs, earlier). The demat account holders of other brokerage houses will NOT be accepted nor will they be allowed to do "Phatka" in the accounts on their own. Mostly, DELIVERY based calls over a period will be executed. Those who believe in Daily Trading or Short Term Trading Only, should not opt for this Scheme.
1. I or my venture can decide to part at any time or decide to call off the contract at any time, if it was seen that inspite of the my best efforts, the client is not satisfied or has some nagging issues or has joined the service with some ulterior motives in mind (like selling the free call to people at a price) or is too much argumentative inspite of not having much idea of equity investing,etc....
2. The percentage sharing ratio would be 70:30 between you and my firm for all accounts having portfolio size of Rs.5 lakhs and above. For the portfolios between Rs.3-5 lakhs,, the profit sharing ratio would be 65:35 between you and my firm. This ratio is not negotiable and is absolute.
3. The profit has to be shared in every 30 days. Any loss will be adjusted against the following profit. You should have sufficient cushion, to do either averaging of a stock if needed or pay the margin amount in case a scrip goes down.
4. All the calls will be given through either Yahoo Messenger or Whatsapp. I have decided to close/ discontinue the Facebook Messenger for good, due to too much misuse by some people from my friends' list.
