Bull of the week: Stock that gained 91% in 7 days

On Thursday (August 19, 2010 ) Apurv Nagpal, MD, Saregama India told CNBC-TV18 that the company expects a 50% jump in its profits and a 20% rise in revenues in the current financial year. The company is betting big on its next big release Jhootha Hi Sahi, a romcom directed by Abbas Tyrewala with John Abraham in the lead. Saregama, he said, had put in Rs 40-42 crore on the film.

How to play the stock now

Avinash Gorakshakar Of Anagram Capital said given the price rise, it would make sense if somebody got into the stock little earlier. He advises to take some profit off the table. "I think there is going to be some profit booking, people are not going to just look at paper profit, so some amount of profit booking is definitely going to come in."

Rahul Mohindar of Viratechindia believes the stock, in the absence of any trigger, has moved due to some insider information which may trickle in little later, but the volumes have been phenomenal. "We just can't ignore the kind of price rise and the volume rise at the same time. But buying at Rs 150 makes it very risky," he said.

At this juncture the risk-reward ratio is against you and targets are technically above Rs 150-160, he said. "Those who have been in this ride should take some profits. Those who want to still push this a little further need to be using something like a trailing stoploss. So, Rs 127 is a critical level which you could be working with," he advised.
