Last few months have been topsy-turvy for most of the pharma/chemical/tech heavy portfolios. That was because market has been rotating the sectors in fancy at breakneck speed. Often we could not catch it or if caught it then did not put the money at work on time. That is also reflected on portfolio being stagnant….
Method In Madness – BNP Way
There are many ways to make money in the market. What you should focus on is how simple, replicable it is. If something is simple enough for you and can be replicated then you can take it under consideration. Now only thing remains whether it suits you temperamentally or not. There could be many simple…
Monster Move In This Tech Stock Coming?
Generally long consolidation and volatility contraction leads to monster moves. These moves are largely done in a month or so and by the time you enter 5th week stock starts falling. Time value of money in such trades is really high and they hardly test patience. Today we are going to talk about one such…
Quess Corp: What Was Price Action telling us?
This is archived post of Quess Corp which we did for BNP Pro members at October end. This is just to share how we thought about the idea and how it is working out. This is not a call on stock at current prices. Stock is already up by 18% from below 400 to 470+.
Update – Stock made highs of 725. Up from 400 to 725 in last 3 months. 80%+. If you want to learn and earn – Join here.
Here is a nice looking chart of Quess. A company owned by Billionaire Prem Watsa of Fairfax (same guy who has big stake in 5Paisa and other IIFL group companies, FairChem Specialty, CSB Bank etc).
Fundamentally very sound company. Today results came out which are more than decent. Quess also owns another listed company Allsec which by the way has interesting shareholder C Mackertich in public shareholders list. C Mackertich is same company operated by Ajay Kayan (Ajay Kedia shown in Scam 1992 Web Series) and had many cases against him and recently he got acquitted. A member of bear cartel from kolkata.
Anyway, as you can see in the chart stock is just trading above dead cat bounce level of 398 made on 29 June. Trading above 50 SMA and 50 SMA is well above 200 SMA.
As you can see by two pink lines the pattern closely follows the Binet’s formula. Do not get bogged down by the fancy name of Binet, it is just old pattern we refer as snake pattern.

You can see the range of stock price getting squeezed for a month now. Last time it happened for 2.5 months and stock did 380 to 450 in no time.
Then what is the catch here?
Catch is yesterday stock broke down badly. Opened at 403.30, made high of 407.95 but low of 364. But good thing is it closed at 403.85.
So broke down but recovered by end of the day. If it did not break down yesterday it would be much better.
Very low risk entry it is offering. SL can be 390 on closing basis which does not mean wait for next day to exit. On same day if around 03:25 stock is trading at 390 or below then watch it and exit in last 2 min if it stays below 390. Because next day it might open -5% or -10% who knows given the volatility.
It can work or fail in short time. It is unlikely to test the patience.

Big Liquid Name Breaking Out To New High
There are some opportunities which are not meant to give you most return in least time. They are not optimal in that sense but they are none the less important part of whole portfolio to give it much needed stability while delivering much above market returns. One such stock that we already have is Balkrishna…

Harshad Bhai’s Stock Preparing To Shoot Up?
Harshad Shantilal Mehta is a legend and his story will continue to enthrall the Indian stock market participants no matter what. A man who rose from nothing to beat even Ambani and become top Advance Tax payer in India. A man who led the assault on the foreign bank cartel which were milking the Indian…
Platform Business Squeezing Volatility To Melt Up?
Platform businesses are not stranger to us by now. Most of the platform businesses get help from being no to marginal cost with each new consumer/user on the platform. That means bulk of the topline(sales) starts going to bottomline(profits). Why these two items are called topline and bottomline? Because they appear at the top and…
These Two Stocks Ready To Go Electrical?
In markets, nothing is guaranteed but over the period you can find some patterns and based on your experience you can see if that is repeated somewhere else. This is what price action about. Finding some patterns and watch them working, pick the abstract idea from there and apply elsewhere and expect it to work in similar fashion.
Today, we are going to talk about two stocks which have some electrical connection.
Stock 1 : Polycab CMP 942 MCap 14000 Cr
Company has been into business of wires and cables traditionally and promoters have a inspiring story of starting with a shop selling cables to have an empire manufacturing and selling it in many countries. But we do not get excited about the wires and cables as such. The story here is company is foraying into fast moving electrical goods (FMEG) which is sticky, high margin, low ticket, essential item, brand pull like fans, switches, lightings, water heaters, coolers, irons etc.
Very minimal debt, growing fast in FMEG space but currently not very high margin but margins are improving. Company is having good ROCE and already business is doing better than pre covid era. So yes things are getting better and now much better.
Let’s see the chart –
Company got listed in Apr 2019 and things were not really great for it technically as you can see in the chart but in Sep 2019 stock gapped up and did some pull back. This gap up took the stock above listing price and it just changed the things for it. Suddenly all those people who have been in loss who bought when it was listed are now in profits and with such a steep jump people do not like to get out early. Result? reduced selling pressure and stock crossing its previous high will invite the traders to build long positions increasing the buying pressure.
What happens when selling pressure reduces and buying pressure increases? That’s right. Stock jumps and start running. You can see from Oct 2019 at 660, stock did 1160 in Feb 2020 and corona sell off took it down. Post corona stock recovered quickly to 780 level but then sold off again to 640 levels from where earlier in Sep 2019 it took off. Once it crossed 780 again since then stock has respected that level and but did not do much either. Sell off in late Sep 2020 and Oct 2020 meant beating down for stock but it has respected 780 level well in both occasions.
Now earnings came out good and stock gapped up, stock well above 200 SMA and 50 SMA is above 200 SMA. As you can see by sky blue horizontal line stock broke out and then took support near 900 area.
And one of our BNP Pro members signaled towards it earlier few days ago –

Stock 2 : Elantas Beck CMP 2438 MCap 1900 Cr
We posted this chart earlier in telegram today to make a case for this –
Stock is doing classic 45° move since 2013 which is a long time although not as much as Asian Paints.
Now let’s zoom in the chart –
As you can see after the corona crash stock has been trading in a tight band of 2090 – 2450. Company came out with great earnings and that is why you see a big green candle a day ago. Problem is that came with not so much volume so stock may end up testing the patience. Also, stock is thinly traded very low volume. In such stocks once things get going there is good run. 50 SMA is above 200 SMA and stock is right on 50 SMA.
Company posted EPS of ₹26.69 vs ₹17.96
Expect the EPS to cross 100 within a year. Specialty chemical company, an MNC.
Focused on electrical insulation and construction industry. A beneficiary of of Atmanirbhar bharat theme if things in electrical appliances/electronic devices will be made more and more in India. No debt. 75% promoters holding. Historically avg PE of 27 in last 10 years.
Stock is making all the right moves technically(there is scope for improvement though) and fundamentally. Stock can be looked at with SL of 2102. Both these stocks have all the traits to be part of core portfolio but that does not stop us from trading into them for quick returns.

Value Investor vs Price Action Follower
We often say that it is a structural story to many stock. What do we mean by that? Structural story in terms of the future trend, industry direction and particular business direction. But does that mean as a shareholder you will make money in all such structural stories? Not necessarily. You see that is why…
