Updated: Nov 17, 2011:
Being away from blog for so time has not been easy and I am not making a conscious attempt to be back on blogging and do some regular writeups on the market and overall outlook as I see. I will try to answer queries also but not sure how it moves on. I guess slowly we can probably let anyone answer to anyones query so it can give broader perspective. Anyways, I write my new article today.
Updated: Aug 9, 2010:
I was back last week but could not respond to queries as was quite busy with work and did not get any time to look into queries.
Updated: July 27, 2010.
I am still travelling but tracking markets now. Just completed replies to all pending queries and would do so in coming days.
Updated: July 22, 2010.
I am again travelling and would be back on July 26 and would not be able to respond to your queries until next week (July 27). Sorry for the delay.
Updated: July 12, 2010.
I am back from my vacation and would start responding to pending queries and also try to follow markets and give some recommendations, hopefully from tomorrow onwards.
Updated: June 19, 2010.
I am travelling until 11th July to few places and would be away but I would be following and tracking markets mostly with exception of a day or two. You can continue asking questions and I would be replying them mostly like I do now but in case I am delayed then sorry. Ofcourse it could also be a case that I might reply quickly at times as I am away from office work so might be little stressed 🙂
Updated: Feb 22, 2010.
I am back from leave and would be active again on the blog answering your queries and posting recommendations from tomorrow (Feb 23). As it has been long leave have to catch up with office work also.
Updated: Feb 11, 2010.
I am going on an extended leave starting Feb 12 and returning back on Feb 22 to attend my cousins wedding in my native town. I know for last month, I have been busy working and also travelling and socialising but then this is all part and parcel of our life 🙂
I would like you to keep posting your queries on the blog and I would reply back if possible else on return. Ofcourse on returning, I would have lot of work to attend to so might be slow but I hope you understand my unavailability and keep posting your query and get back to visting for recommendations from Feb 22 onwards, in case you are away also during my vacation.
Wish you a happy trading and investing during my absence.

Nileshji,
I have ks oils @ 74. Where do u see this stock as a medium term buy. Should i hold it or exit
Comment by Abhinav Garg — February 1, 2010 @ 1:15 am
Hi Abhinav,
KS oils is a good company and has good growth potential…. If you are talking of medium term then it can go to say even 95-100 levels

Hi,
Thanks for your kind words.. May I know what do you need to discuss?

Comment by Nilesh Baldwa — January 20, 2010 @ 10:52 am
Thanks for the quick response.
I have been investing in the market since jun last year and made some decent profits against my small investment. But till this time everything was on someone’s advice, news channels n web research. When I came across your blog I felt that its time for me to learn something and at present I am working towards it. I want to learn the art of trading. I am not forcing you to dedicate extra time for me. I know u r dedicating ur extra time to help us all. I would like to have couple of minutes once in a while. I hope u understand my concern.
Waiting for ur reply
Regards,
Luv

hello nilesh, i hope that youmust have read my previous message. in 2006, i bought ind swift labs andnelco @150 total 100 shares of each firm butnow i have averaged them @75 and 98 respectively. by God grace,i see my cost isnow coming to my pocket. pls suggest me should i wait for some profit or carry my cost in my pocket.
Comment by manorama rani — December 30, 2009 @ 11:25 pm
Hi
Indswift -> You can probably hold with 65 as stoploss .. I see if it is able to cross 80 then can go to 87-90 levels and difficult to cross those levels but should see how that momentum continues and hold with a trailing stoploss.
Nelco -> 110-115 is difficult to cross and you can probably keep holding with trailing stoploss… over 110-115 can go to 130 levels…Stoploss would be quite low and you can keep 89 as that..

Dear Nileshji,
I ever started reading your blog till now not missed any post…answers are short and very clear. Thanks for your great work…I could not resist myself without asking this question. I wanted to contact you for few personal tips. Please can I contact you thru mail or phone? I wanted share my portfolio with you and wanted to diversify it for better returns. As I do not have financial adviser I thought it would be nice to get help or advise from you.
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Hegde.
Comment by Ramchandra Hegde — December 22, 2009 @ 12:27 am
Hi. I will send you a seperate email and you can let me know what you are looking forward or expecting from me. Nilesh
Comment by Nilesh Baldwa — December 22, 2009 @ 1:09 am
Your comments are very useful. The way you close your tips saying ‘Target 1 achieved’ or exiting due to trigger of stoploss or non movement of price within the specified time is really good…
I am new to the stock market and would really appreciate if you can share your knowledge on the basics of trading
Comment by Shikarth — December 16, 2009 @ 1:17 pm
Dear Nilesh,
I saw your blog for the first time and the replies given by you.
I am really happy to see the way you are replying to the comments.
You are very frank in your reply and are educating investors/ traders well.
Many new investors feel that stock market is full of money and they can make lot of money here without making any homework but lose heavily.
your comments that they should be prepared to lose in some stocks is real. Hope they do not set targets.
I wish you all the best and request you to continue with your good work.
I will make it a point to go through your recommendations in future.
I am a short term / intraday trader and have my focus only on ten counters.
On an average I am making around 4% per month on my investments.
Comment by B Suresh Kumar — December 10, 2009 @ 10:00 pm
Nilesh. Kudos. You are bang on target for Genesys International. Its already up 10%. Hats off to your knowledge and share the goodness with others free.

Hi,
I happened to go thru ur blog yest nd it is very interesting to know ur indepth knowledge in equity :).
I m keen to learn the tricks of d trade nd wld appreciate if u cld provide some assistance. I hv been a long term investor for the last few years nd now wld like to do intraday.
My aim now is to earn atleast 5k if not more per month. Cld u pl give me some tips.
Thnks & Rgds,
Priti
Comment by Priti — December 8, 2009 @ 7:22 pm
Hi Priti,
You can definitely earn Rs 5k per month in equities without doing intraday. How much capital you are ready to deploy in stock markets at any moment of time? But as I said to some other response, you cannot win all trades and be ready to lose but if you can make realistic money on an average, you should be happy. I hope you can look at my tips and make some money.
Nilesh
Comment by Nilesh Baldwa — December 9, 2009 @ 8:38 pm

please put your question in Q&A section and I would respond there.
Comment by Nilesh Baldwa — December 10, 2009 @ 9:56 am
Hi Nilesh,
Recently got interested in Stock market and found quite interesting. Though made couple of blunders but i guess i can recover. I possess avg knowledge on markets. Have few questions:
1. Can i make a career in stock market
2. I would like to be partly long term and partly short terms investor
3. If i have to make about 25k pm after all expenses, how much investment would i need
4. I have been tracking Austral Coke currently hovering at 7+. do you suggest i get into now or waite until it gets down to 5
I found your blog very logical and your intention to help investors worthy of praise.
Keep up the goo work. God Bless

Comment by William — December 8, 2009 @ 1:55 pm
Hi William,
Please see my responses regarding your queries :
1) Ofcourse you can but depends on lot of other factors like stability in life, what sort of career you are planning, knowledge you possess etc.. But I am not an advisor on career.
2)I think this is a good strategy, and it is always good to be clear on your strategy.
3) It is really difficult to answer this. In futures trading you can make this with lot less investment but even lose the same way. In equity, you can never time the market. But if you keep realistic expectations of average 5-10% per month, that would be lot better rather than keeping such targets. You will lose some trades and win some. It is how you restrict your loss and maximize your profit. There is no magic formula to earn fixed amount every month.
4)I would not think of investing in stocks which are trading in sub 10 rs range. These are penny stocks and you can easily lose money and other opportunities. I know you can make a lot also but sorry, I do not follow stocks in these ranges and would not like to recommend.

Comment by Nilesh Baldwa — December 9, 2009 @ 8:36 pm

ISMT 35%
Karuturi Global 20%
IDBI 7%

great blog dude…the kinda thing i was looking for…help me make some money for buying my car in march and i promise u a free ride in Calcutta 😉
Comment by Shatadru — December 8, 2009 @ 7:40 am
Hi Shatadru,
I do not know how much you want to make in stock market to buy the car. My advise would be dont set targets like this if you have to earn in stock market. Also making lot of money requires lot of investment also :). But I hope my tips can help you in some way and add to your savings to buy car.
Comment by Nilesh Baldwa — December 9, 2009 @ 8:30 pm
Hi Nilesh,
You are doing a really good and noble job here. Sharing knowledge is a virtue everyone should have. I went through your site and realized this is just for goodwill and no commercial gains attached. Thanks a lot ot you.
I have a query, I deal in equity (dont understand futures/options/call etc ) , Can I still benefit from your short term tips considering I would pay brokerages etc much higher. Please suggest.
Comment by Ashish — December 7, 2009 @ 11:45 am
Hi Ashish,
I am not aware of the brokerage charges you pay. For me, I pay only 10 paise as brokerage on one side for delivery also. As a basic rule make sure you have the best brokerage deal for equity delivery also. You can definitely benefit from my tips as long as you are patient and chose the share which fits your strategy and risk appetite. Also you should keep strict stoploss to protect your profit. There are some tips which I post for a period of month or so which can give 10-15% return so if your expectations are not over the sky, I think you can benefit.
Nilesh
Comment by Nilesh Baldwa — December 9, 2009 @ 8:28 pm
Amazing … fantabulous work nilesh. I am really impressed by your effort and would like to appreciate it. I do the same homework as you but not as extensive as you have done on this blog.
It will be great if you can give some thoughts on cement sector; i am highly bulllish on prism and mysore cement.
Regards,
Puneet Pareek
Comment by Puneet Pareek — December 6, 2009 @ 9:56 am
Hi Puneet, Cement sector has been outperforming in recent months and I think prism cement around 38-40 levels, jkcement around 125-130 levels, acc and all look good for medium to long term but I also think should get out if get 20-30% return to lock profits.
Comment by Nilesh Baldwa — December 12, 2009 @ 8:13 pm
Dear Nilesh,
Good morning. I am a retire employee in a public sector undertaking and no pension for me. I have very limited funds to lead my life with my wife. I have deposited some in post office, and some in Bank deposits. About 10% of my available amount I came to know your blog when i am reading messages under some stock where i got this immediately i opened your blog and studied all your postinigs.
I have checked with money control tools and found excellent brain you are having and offering free services. May god bless you.
I happened to see this on 4th dec 2009 i want to try your recommendations in the next week for each share for short term some amount. Can you teach us how we can get some knowledge of predicting stock markets. I hear CNBC analysts but i found they are not accurate and even udayan mukherjee is also not giving his recommendations but he will give lecture after happening the event.
Every body becoming fools with that.
Please educate us so that we can live happily in these days of high inflation.
Kind Regards,
Rao
Comment by Rao — December 5, 2009 @ 10:21 am
Hi Sir, Thanks for your appreciation and kind words. I m currently on vacation and back on 9-10 dec so cannot respond in detail. I m currently replying through mobile and would give a detailed response once i am back. Bye. Nilesh
Comment by Nilesh Baldwa — December 5, 2009 @ 5:21 pm
Dear Nilesh,
Good morning. From 7th december i have studied your recommendatios, and also checked the company websites, little bit of technical analysis graphs etc with my limited knowledge and feared to invest the little amount also up to now. But i noticed you have a success rate of 90% in all recommendations.
I stared investing in stocks from the year 2006 with my small brain in financial markets and earned little money. But in the year 2007 june to this year june i was preoccupied with family problems and i kept my stock portfolio as it is and now i am selling some if i get a profit of 15%. I was stuck up with losses now.
I do not know what to do.
Kindly help me to bail out my stocks. Can you please help me.
With Kind regards,
Rao
Comment by Rao — December 17, 2009 @ 9:14 am
Hi Rao, I am happy to know you feel I can help you but as always, I can only give some advices based on personal opinion but do not guarantee anything… What sort of help do you need? Because as you know by now, I have a full time job and have so many queries on website by so many people… let me know and If required we can discuss it off the site..
Comment by Nilesh Baldwa — December 17, 2009 @ 9:45 am
What is shown on CNBC is totally preplanned. after all the operator or the so called FII plan every thing and ask CNBC to show what the want us see and react.as soon as the news is shown there is a compulsory reation in the stock. every thing is preplanned. the day when the FII want the market to end in red the whole day bearish comments are shown and vice versa. the real test is when there is no pre information and things take place which i think is Nilesh is doing. good work done
Comment by vikas — December 7, 2009 @ 5:46 pm
Did you invest in any of my tips during the week? Regarding educating on stock market, I would start series of posts in regards to that.
Comment by Nilesh Baldwa — December 9, 2009 @ 8:25 pm
Dear Nilesh,
this blog is a very useful activity I found. And I really love the way you are doing it. I myself believe in the “Free to Share Knowledge” philosophy and and try to follow it as much as I can.
Curiously, what is it that YOU gain out of all this meticulous effort in making all the info reach its readers?
For instance, even as I run a photoblog purely for my personal interest, I still try to monetize it, in view of not denying any materialistic gains that ‘if and ever’ occur.
I see not even those kind of motives here. So I am completely baffled at ‘why carry on something so materialistic as “Stock Tips” in such an altruistic manner?’.
Thanks once again and hoping to listen (read) from you. 🙂

Comment by Vaibhav — December 4, 2009 @ 2:46 pm
Hi Vaibhav,
It is really good to know that you appreciated my efforts in sharing the information I have. I am very passionate about stock markets and technical analysis and I always wanted to share the information with people who trade in markets. generally the crowd is not very educated and they invest in scrips without understanding the stock and follow the herd or news shown in TV. Through my blog, I wanted to start a medium of discussion with fellow traders/investors so that their inputs can help me out also.
I am not expecting my tips to be 100% but then intention is to provide my analysis and let an individual map it to his own style of trading. About monetizing and what I gain by putting such efforts is the appreciation from people like you 🙂 and moreover it widens my knowledge by inputs from lot of people. It also motivates me to do a lot more detailed analysis and research as I do not want my tips to be 100% failure :).
Hope it answers your query 🙂
– Nilesh
