Value stock picks

When the times are tough the good gets the same treatment as the bad and worse. Sensible people fail to distinguish between great opportunities and bad investments.
The sentiment in the stock market is a curious thing. It colors all the stocks with the same hue when the sentiment is negative and on a positive run even penny stocks look like value buys.

The global meltdown, both on the domestic front and globally, has led to a sharp decline in stock prices across the board in the last one year. Many stocks are quoting below their book values. Book value of a stock reflects the intrinsic value of the company and the stock. Many such stocks offer a great investment opportunity. Good companies are capable of delivering consistent performance even under tough conditions. Such value stocks will be the first to bounce back when the stock market sentiment improves.

Here are some of the value picks in the Indian Stock Market in the current scenario:

Bartronics BEML, Gateway Distriparks, IVRCLSimplex Infra, Tanlas Solutions, Tata Chemicals

Some other stocks which make a good buy at their current prices include Amtek India, Bharati Shipyard, EMCO, ICSA (India), Mah Lifespace, Mcleod Russel, MIC Electronics, Nagarjuna Cons. , Patel Engg., PTC India, Rolta India, Sanghvi Movers, Sasken Comm.

5 Signs of Stock Market Bottom

Since the beginning of the bear market since late 2007, the BSE index SENSEX has been falling with small breathers of trading in a range sometimes and still smaller bump up which did not sustain. Most mini rallies the stock market has witnessed have quickly dissipated in the face of bear hammering.

In the last couple of trading sessions the Indian stock market is yet again making another attempt at a rally. This rally has come at the back of remarks from bank CEOs and economic data that has led investors to believe they'd gotten too pessimistic.

The BSE is following global cues as the Dow Jones industrial average rallied for four straight days from nearly 12-year lows, and gained 597 points, or 9 percent — its best week since November. That followed a two-and-a-half month drop in the Dow of nearly 25 percent

According to Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. equity strategist for Citigroup "People have been worried that we're heading into this abyss ‘but’ there are signs that that's not the case, and there is some floor somewhere — that we may have overreacted."

The question top most on the mind of stock market investors is that if the worst really over?

There's no formula to find out if this latest rally will sustain. But market analysts are watching closely for signs that the worst might be behind us, and they say some good signs are starting to pop up.

"There are little subtle things that have happened that are good — good enough to see that market is trying to establish a near-term bottom," said John Kosar, market technician and president of Asbury Research in Chicago. "But it's way, way, way too premature to try to make an argument that this is 'The Bottom.' "

So what are the signs a prudent investor would look for to find out if the stock markets have bottomed out and what would indicate that there might be more down side yet?
