Ramsarup hits circuit as Arcelor seen circling
Shares of Kolkata-based Ramsarup Industries were frozen at its daily maximum permissible trading limit of 20% on speculation that ArcelorMittal, the world’s largest steelmaker, is close to buying a stake in the company. The stock, which has risen close to 30% in a week, closed at Rs 102.1. The buzz is that Arcelor is likely to buy the stake at Rs 120 apiece. A senior Ramsarup official declined to comment. Market sources said the deal is likely to be structured, with ArcelorMittal having an option to raise its minority stake in the company later. The company will get an infusion of about Rs 1,000 crore by way of partly convertible debentures shortly, according to a person in the know. The instrument will be converted into equity shares in future.
Inox gains 15% on stake sale speculation
Shares of Inox Leisure rose 14.7% to Rs 74.75 on speculation the Anil Ambani group is in talks to buy a stake in the company. Denying the talk, Deepak Asher, director of Inox Leisure, said, “The speculation is baseless.” An Anil Ambani group spokesperson declined comment. According to a market source, in this deal, Inox will be valued at Rs 400 crore. The promoters of Inox Leisure are locked in a takeover battle with Anil Ambani’s Reliance MediaWorks (RMW) to acquire Fame India.

Insurance Big Daddy turns seller in index stocks THE Big Daddy of insurance has been a seller in the index stocks in the past one week, keeping up to its reputation of being a seller in a rising market and a buyer in a falling market. Brokers said they have received selling orders from the Big Daddy in large numbers of late, mainly in oil & gas, banks and auto shares. In the past week or so, the institution has been a seller in SBI. But the buzz is, it has been a buyer in select mid-cap bank stocks. FIs make a beeline for LIC Housing, stock up 7% SHARES of LIC Housing Finance rose 7% to a 52-week high of Rs 1,073.40 supported by heavy volumes in a subdued trading session on Thursday. According to dealers, domestic mutual funds and select FIIs were heavy buyers after the company posted better-than-expected quarterly numbers. They said fund managers have been buying housing finance companies of late, mostly for trading gains. Some analysts are cautious about the outlook of housing finance companies, as firming interest rates are expected to raise their borrowing costs, thereby affecting margins. Oil cos tank as govt fails to free up diesel prices SHARES of state-owned oil marketers HPCL and BPCL crashed 6% on Thursday after the government said it will not deregulate diesel prices. The sudden about-turn in fuel policy has caught most Dalal Street stalwarts on the wrong foot. All these players had bought huge chunks of these stocks over the past couple of weeks, convinced that the sector was due for re-rating. The top guns who are long on HPCL, BPCL and IOC include the Rar(e)ing Bull, Old Fox, the high-profile second-in-command at a listed broking firm and a suave broker who shares his surname with the Old Fox. The problem now is that most of the top names are bullish on these stocks. So if they turn bearish, who are they going to sell their holdings to? Godrej Properties bucks downtrend in realty stocks AT A time when most property stocks are being cold-shouldered by fund managers as well as market operators, Godrej Properties hit a record high of Rs 691.40 on Thursday. Dealers tracking the counter say there is good interest in the stock, but at the same time, they point out that low liquidity is having a multiplier effect on the share price. A suave BSE broker, who shares his surname with the Old Fox, is said to be one of the big buyers of the stock. (Contributed by Harish Rao & Santosh Nair) |

Is it Possible????Dow Headed to 5000 -Charles Nenner Says
Get Out While You Can! Dow Headed to 5000, Charles Nenner Says
Posted Jul 15, 2010 07:30am EDT by Peter Gorenstein in InvestingEnjoy the recent stock market rally while it lasts. Market forecaster Charles Nenner tells Tech Ticker stocks will peak in about a month and then head south for the year.
“After late August I expect the market to go down again,” and eventually test the March 2009 lows in the next few years, he says on the phone from Israel. Therefore, long-term investors would be wise to use this rally as an opportunity to get out of stocks. “I see this as a bear market rally,” he says comparing the U.S. market to Japan – a prolonged bear market with wild fluctuations.
Until the end of August, stocks will trade in a tight range, he predicts. His near term upside target is 1155 on the S&P 500, but that’s only if it first breaks 1100. If the market finds resistance and closes below 1085, it could spell trouble.
It’s worth paying attention to Nenner's warning. As Seeking Alpha contributor Cliff Wachtel points out, Nenner has a pretty good track record with his recent calls:
• In early 2009, when markets appeared on the brink of collapse, Nenner said the S&P 500 was going from 660 to over 1000 within the coming year.
• In early 2009, he foretold gold’s 6-month run from June in the low $900s to $1220, within mere dollars of its ultimate peak at $1225.
• More recently, in December 2009 he called the top in U.S. stocks within 4 days.
His advice for the average investor: “You don't want to get in the market,” he says. “For the next couple of years, just be happy if you don’t lose money.”
When will it be safe to go back in the water? Not until the market experiences a lot more pain, he forecasts. Don’t bet on stocks for the long haul, “until you get below 7000. And preferably if you wait till 5000, which is my downside target on the Dow Jones.”

Tata Communications rises on global JV talk
Shares of Tata Communications rose 2.8% to Rs 289.20 on Wednesday in a weak market on speculation the company is close to announcing a joint venture deal with a global telecom player. The market buzz is that the deal is likely to be announced by this weekend. The stock’s rally also fanned a rumour that the path has been paved for Tata Communications to sell its surplus 770- acre land. The “value-unlocking” story of the company’s land has been attributed for any rise in the stock in the past. Brokers said the move can help the company retire debt and also benefit minority shareholders. The stock, which has risen around 5% in the past two days, has largely underperformed the market this year.
