#Today's morning call Nitesh Estate Ltd (Rs.7.80) at Rs.7.90 moved to Rs.8.10, during the intraday. Founded in 2004, the Bangaluru based Nitesh Estates Ltd has predominantly been a residential player, apart from having presence in commercial offices, hospitality and retail assets. It may be recalled that Nitesh Pune Mall, a subsidiary of Nitesh Estates, had intimated to the stock exchanges on 25 October, 2017 regrading its discussion with certain investors for raising capital of over Rs.350 crore.
In another development, there were media reports that almost all the big developers such as DLF, Prestige, Brigade, Phoenix Mills, L&T, Nitesh Estates and a host of regional and local developers are building malls. An n estimated 7.8 million square feet of mall space is expected to come up this year, the highest ever supply since 2011, according to property consultancy JLL. This is 40 per cent more compared to last year. The next three years -- 2018 to 2020 -- are expected to see around 20 million sq ft of space hitting the market, JLL said. Experts said the booming retail sector and evolving shopping scenario in Tier II and Tier III cities were driving the new supply.
This Bangaluru based Real Estate company is likely to get positive effects due to buoyancy in the IT sector, following the depreciation of the INR. If you have the capacity to hold the scrip for 3-6 months, I mean till January,, '19, the scrip could give good returns. 

#The stock of Mandhana Industries Ltd (Rs.4.85) today moved to Rs.5.15 in the NSE. After such spectacular quarterly results, I am sure the scrip will slowly move towards the next target of Rs.9.7. The export oriented Textile and IT stocks are likely to outperform the market, in the coming days. Another thing: Someone in Bollywood told me that Mandhana Industries Ltd (Rs.4.85) is actually an Alvira Khan Agnihotri Venture.. Can anyone confirm?
It's rise began after Salman Khan’s second innings started with the success of Wanted in 2009. The success of the movie translated into the success of the apparel brand.
The brand, which is present in 15 countries, is now increasing its footprint. Venturing now into USA, United Kingdom, Far East and Sri Lanka, Being Human is more of Khan’s swag on the shelves than being just another clothing brand. It was first launched in France and later ventured into Middle East, Nepal, Mauritius, Nepal and Fiji. The brand already has a global footprint of 500 point of sales in more than 15 countries.
“Alongside other countries we are also debuting in Canada at Holts wherein we will showcasing our collection through a pop up at Holts-Canada’s leading departmental store. Our goal has always been to be a global brand,” said Manish Mandhana, CEO, the Mandhana Retail Ventures.

I reiterate the word of caution once again: In these kinds of markets when even the experts and veteran traders find difficult to make money on a consistent basis, it would be near SUICIDAL for the NOVICES to try on their own. Remember, you are competing with the bests of the Financial World who have been in this space for more than 2-3 decades.. Hence beating these professionals on a regular basis to eke out profits from the Share Market is not that easy. I believe, Indian Stock Markets dotted by FPIs and Mutual Fund Gurus, has now become a place ONLY for highly professional traders and investors -- there is no chance for amateurs...in fact they have been weeded out long back.
