These mid-cap stocks with ‘Strong Buy’ & ‘Buy’ recos can rally over 30%, according to analysts
As investors, it is best to ignore what is happening to the Nifty and Sensex… especially on the day of expiry of the monthly contracts in the derivative segment. Index movement is impacted on that day by unwinding and rollover of positions. So, today, don’t look at the indices because they are going to move for reasons that have nothing to do with anything fundamental. Keep an eye on market breadth, and that has been positive in the mid-cap space for some time. Also, focus on the performance of a sector in Q4. Because the street is going to be in stock-specific mode for some time to come.

China Plus One is not quite making the headlines these days. But in the chemicals sector (both in speciality as well as commodity chemicals), underlying changes are happening at a reasonably strong pace that will bring it back into the limelight. These changes are focused on ensuring at least partial backward integration so that, over the medium term, dependence on Chinese imports comes down. This, however, will take time. And till it actually happens, there will be quarters, even years, when some of these companies will be under some pressure. So, a “Hold” phase, before these stocks turn into “Buys”.

And, why are we bringing this up at this juncture? While markets are largely about buying and selling, wealth creation is also about holding stocks. There are times when it is more important to just hold on to stocks.
