Trump and Indian auto sector: Why he got it wrong. 8 auto stocks with an upside of upside potential of 1 to 33%
A couple of weeks back all auto stocks witnessed a sharp decline. Reason: President Trump announced across-the-board duties on any auto product not made in the US. Now cut to April 1. All auto stocks witnessed a bump-up in a market that was otherwise declining sharply. Reason: Monthly auto sales numbers for March were good.

These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 27% return in 1 year, according to analysts
Nothing can, or should, be ruled out on the street. Be prepared for anything. Now, what is the probability that the bears will be banished from the market in the next couple of weeks? Well, that depends on the “risk event” of April 2 and its outcome. But does the departure of the bears mean the arrival of the bulls? Traditionally, liquidity is tight in March because of the financial year ending and money being allocated for advance tax payments. With the coming Monday being a holiday, today, Friday, will be the last trading day of this financial year. As we prepare to face a new year, here’s some old but useful advice: Focus on good businesses, be they large-cap or mid-cap, because that is what the street finally rewards.

One index which better reflects undercurrent of the economy & should be watched before Nifty
As a country, we are obsessed with the Nifty50, Bank Nifty, and the Nifty Midcap Index. We don't bother to look at other indices. Of course, many are not worth looking at because they are there just for the sake of it. But there is one that probably meets, to some extent, the purpose of an index as an indicator of the “health of the economy”. How so? Consider its constituents: A company making HCV/LCVs; a port operator straddling the western and eastern coasts of India; a container company; a tyre company; a railway ticketing platform; an auto ancillary firm; a passenger car company; and many others. How do these companies reflect the health of the economy?

These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 29% return in 1 year, according to analysts
Historically, stock market recoveries have been led by large-caps. But in the past few years, there have been phases when they have been led by mid-caps or, at times, by both segments in sync. This could be because, in recent times, much institutional money has moved into mid-caps. As institutional interest revives after a correction, it tends to flow to mid-caps as well. So, having a basket of large- and mid-cap stocks would be better at this point. Now, it is not easy to think of a recovery when the market is down every second day. But then who said making money in stocks is easy? It involves risk.
