Three stocks to buy and sell, recommended by NeoTrader’s Raja Venkatraman:

• Poonawala Fincorp.: Sell below 285, stop 293, target 260

Shares of this financial services company have been losing its footing and the steady decline in prices resolve to move higher and is demonstrating strong trended action in the last few days. As with the negative Directional Index gaining strength the prices are steadily declining indicating signs of selling emerging. Consider going short.

• Sarda Energy & Minerals Ltd: Buy above 481, stop 466, target 510

After a period of consolidation at the MA Bands, this metal stock has posted a strong Q3, indicating the company’s ability to overcome challenges and make a solid upward move. The long body candle seen on Monday suggests further price momentum. Positive sector sentiment supports the continuation of a buy scenario.

• PVR Inox: Sell at 1,006, stop 1,025, target 920

PVR Inox is facing a rough patch with a string of disappointing movie releases, putting further pressure on profitability. The lack of a consumption recovery is contributing to mounting concerns, and the trends remain clearly negative. The stock has been steadily declining in recent sessions, and volatile market conditions suggest the downtrend could continue. With momentum showing a negative bias, we maintain a short position.
