Stock Picks by Sumeet Bagadia
Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, says the Indian stock market is currently cautious but leaning towards positive. He notes that the Nifty 50 is still above the key level of 25,000, and the index is holding around 25,150, which could signal a trend reversal or a bounce back. He recommends a “buy on dips” strategy as long as the Nifty 50 stays above 25,000. Bagadia also suggests focusing on specific stocks that show breakout potential.
