Struggle to make money from stocks: India stock market update

Struggle to make money from stocks

Been through many crashes in the Indian market (Crash in September 2005, crash in May 2006, crash in Feb-March 2007, the bad crash starting in January 2008, the current 2018 midcap and smallcap downturn). Still looking for the magic touch that will turn my money into the first 10 million. Any tips that I post will typically not be mine, but picked up from somewhere (hopefully with some accuracy), hence have fun if you make money; if you lose, then that is the name of the equity game.

India stock market update - 20 July 2010

Interesting times in the Indian market. The Sensex is dancing near the 18,000 mark, even as the overall global economic indicators are none too good. There are already articles that are again talking about a decoupling of India and China (and we knew what happened the last time there was a of talk about decoupling of India and China from the overall economic situation, the pullout by FII's decimated the Indian indexes).
There is speculation in the market that the next couple of weeks could see a period of slowness, and maybe some amount of pulldown, so am evaluating all my current stocks to see which of these I can cash out and stay in atleast anywhere between 30-40% cash.
Stocks that I am currently tracking:
1. Action Construction Equipment (CMP Rs. 53)
2. Camlin (Rs. 34)
3. Bartronics (Rs. 150)
4. Exide Industries (Rs. 106)
5. Hind Rectifiers (Rs. 69)
6. Vimta Labs (Rs. 36.5)
