Smartinvestor : Markets are pretty volatile after yesterday's pull-back. How are you approaching trades today?

Mohit Gaba : So far the market has been pretty sideways, and until the GDP numbers come out today, I expect the market to be range bound.
 

Smartinvestor : Bank Nifty has been under tremendous pressure in the recent market carnage. What should be an ideal target that one can use to short Bank Nifty?

Mohit Gaba : I expect a consolidation or small pull back to this massive down trend. If we see a jump up to 9500 - 9600 then that would be a good place to go short.

Smartinvestor : What is your view on auto majors such as Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki?

Mohit Gaba : Tata motors has been range bound between 260 - 330, this range bound movement could continue. Maruti is in a down trend and so far there is no sign of strength, hence it is not yet a buy.

Smartinvestor : Does IT stocks offer safe haven in the current market and what are your picks here?

Mohit Gaba : IT stocks are the best bet in these market conditions, One could look at Wipro or TCS within this sector.

Smartinvestor : What are your targets for Wipro and TCS?

Mohit Gaba : One should ride this upmove with trailing stop losses, for Wipro it could be 458 and for TCS 1915.

Smartinvestor : Do you believe that the last leg of the rally led by IT stocks is soon to be over and the sector may witness selling pressure soon?
