Hold Tulip Telecom: N Jain
Nishant Jain, Director of Tradeswift Broking is of the view that one should hold on Tulip Telecom.
Jain told CNBC-TV18, “Tulip Telecom had touched about Rs 800 in mid May and since then it has been consolidating sideways. Today the stock has successfully broken out of its sideways movement and a fresh resistance for the stock is about Rs 980 to Rs 1000 levels. So I guess one should hold on to the positions and accumulate new stock with a target of Rs 980 and keep a stoploss of about Rs 780.”

This Budget is going to be a tough one for the Finance Minister, he said, adding, “The FM has to strike a very good balance between fiscal prudence, carrying on the stimuli that was provided to the economy to generate demand, and carrying the economy forward to improve the gross domestic product.”
Hopes of growth from Asia overblown: Stephen Roach
Stephen Roach, Chairman-Asia, Morgan Stanley, said demand in the US is subdued at lower levels, so a recovery call will be tough. “The recovery would be better than L-shaped but not V-shaped.”
He feels lower demand from the developed world will impact Asia. “The hopes of growth from Asia are overblown currently. It has significantly increased its reliance on external demand. We think the developed world remains in a rare synchronised recession. So, the second half of 2009 and 2010 is likely to be a challenge for Asia.”
On commodities, Roach said the deflation call for commodity prices is largely behind us. “We don’t see a pronounced downturn in commodity prices.”
