Stocks to finish off the week with a green tick


Stocks are likely to bounce back on the final trading day of the week
after a sell off yesterday. Expect some value buying to come in at
current levels. The Sensex is likely to bounce back nearly 1.5 to
percent, and should reach the 14,500 level to finish the week.

Several upbeat economic reports encouraged investors on Thursday,
after a slide earlier this week.The Dow Jones industrials rose 58.42,
or 0.7 percent, to 8,555.60, its biggest one-day gain in two weeks.
The Dow had been up 98 points. The S&P 500 index rose 7.66, or 0.8
percent, to 918.37, while the Nasdaq composite index slipped 0.34, or
less than 0.1 percent, to 1,807.72.

As mentioned in our pre-market review Realty and Metal stocks
continued their slide with the sectoral indices losing nearly 5
percent for the day. Tata Steel and unitech which were highlighted in
review section yesterday were among the major losers with Unitech
falling nearly 10 percent for the day.

We believe it is time for a small pull back in the beaten down
sectors. Metals might bounce back after 3 days of correction. Also, we
would like to reiterate our bullish view on the healthcare sector and
especially generic drug manufacturers. Also, IT looked resilient in a
weak market as the sector managed to end the day with a small gain.

We would like to focus on Auto sector in today's section. The stocks
of Tata Motors, Mahindra and Ashok Leyland are due for a good pull
back as investors might bid up the shares in this sector on hopes of
revival in demand for four wheelers. Auto Ancillaries also look
attractive at current levels and Amtek Auto is our pick in this space.

Speculative midcaps might grab some attention after getting trashed
for the past few days.On Mobile, Royal Orchid Hotels, Neyveli Lignite,
Crew BOS and KEI Industries are some of the stocks that might catch
fire if there is a rally in the market.
