The last week has once again concluded un-conclusive. The markets were clearly lacking direction and slowly platform is getting set for another fierce battle between the bulls and the bears.

The quarterly results are so far good. The strong numbers posted by HDFC Bank and Infosys have re-ignited the faith among the bulls that things are not so bad at the fundamental level. Similarly, bears are closely watching the events occurring in fragile global economy. Filing of bankruptcy by Nortel Networks, splitting of Citi group were the major blows for the bulls in last one week. It is also widely speculated that once dust around Obama regime settle down, bears may again attempt to gain hold over the markets. Amidst such scenario, volatility is likely to increase in the coming days. Hence, traders must keep strict stop-losses to prevent sharp losses in their portfolio.

Long-term investors must keep a hold the temptation for a while. Obama hopes are yet to turn into a major action. He is having loads of problems in its kitty and how he deals with it, will decide the final outcome of the markets. Also, elections in India are round the corner as well, As of now, neither of the two parties hold the clear chance of attaining majority. The mixed government could further strain our growth. Hence, long term investors can wait for a while or invest partially. It is better to keep the cash for further downside, if problem in USA or India escalates.
