PNB trade ideas
PNB - ( Punbaj National Bank ) - Payment Now Begins :)Whether the perpetrator of fraud is coming back or not, you can have your share back from PNB ( Punjab National Bank ). Finally after putting a base near Rs 70, it is turning a corner. I have accumulated between 70 - 90 range during the downfall and now looking forward to reap the rewards.
Hopefully, election optimism rally in Indian stocks along will push the beleaguered bank above 100 level. Initially I am looking for 120 - 140 range so let's see.
For India, I usually stick with my list of 15/20 stocks and hardly move outside those ( comparatively not easy to manipulate kind of ) stocks. But PNB was kind of juicy opportunity and couldn't resist to dabble in it. Thesis to buy was simple based on following assumptions,
1) Indian government can't let a bank go out of business due to such blatantly outrageous fraud which they must have detected much earlier ( not just detected but could have prevented ;) )
2) If bank has sufficient funds to cover and if it is not going out of business then, ultimately stock will recover :). But yes, finding the bottoming level is crucial. And honestly, I don't know what could be the bottom. But was just thinking somewhere around 50 but well, it didn't go below 70 so no complains. And how I came to think about 50? LOL, just out of thin air :)) . Experience in market will boost your guessing power too ;)
PNB, ConsolidationPrice Consolidation following a big move is an essential part of a stock chart. After the debacle price is consolidating in a narrow range. At present price is at the lower end of the range which is crucial for moving on either of the sides. One will not be surprised if there is a breakout on the downside.
