STOCKS IN THE NEWS FOR THE WEEK

* The new Mumbai international airport construction timetable may be announced by mid-August. Scrips of companies in the reckoning will boom and real estate projects around that place may witness rapid completion. 

* Kavveri Telecom is on an acquisition spree and is picking up some strategic ventures in Europe. The scrip is in for a big rise in coming days says an analyst. 

* Broking houses are facing very difficult times and smaller ones are being acquired by larger broking outfits. Motilal Oswal, Edelweiss and Angel are out to capture the small fish. 

* Power failure of a few hours in North India has created a boom in Exide batteries, gen sets and inverters.

* Will the old and loyal investors of Benares Hotels make a plea for the issue of bonus shares? * Midcap stocks, which fell drastically the previous week, are poised to bounce back. Most of them have recovered their lost ground already. 

* Glenmark is the stock to watch for despite weak Q1 results. Knowledgeable investors and select fund managers picked the stock on Friday, 3 August 2012.

* Asian Paints may be sulking for now as its Q1 results were below market expectations. But the scrip is heading to cross the 4k mark sooner than later. 

* JK Tyre has reported fantastic result for Q1FY13. Scrip may continue to rise further in coming weeks. Hold on to your position. Short term traders can also buy for 10% return in a month. 

* Symphony Ltd. has shot up too much & too fast. Exit partially and play safe. Profit booking expected soon. 
* Deccan Chronicle is in a mess. IFCI has filed a winding up petition against the company for defaulting on its Rs.25 crore debenture and now Karvy has filed a case against promoters for forgery and misrepresentation. Stay away.

* Retail investors are buying Spice Jet as Rakesh Jhunjhunwala has entered into the counter. Better to stay away from this sector and watch as an outsider. 

* A technical analyst recommends Divya Shakti Granite, Gulshan Polyols, Hindustan Hardy, Rapicut Carbides and Shreyas Shipping as a good buy for this week.
