For the second week running a Buy recommendation on Satyam has emerged as the community’s top stock pick, while the IT sector as a whole remains the most recommended sector, both amongst our 5-Star analysts and the wider community. Bharti Airtel has also been a popular stock this week, although mainly in the wider community and not amongst our top analysts.

Energy, Infrastructure and Banking stocks have the most commonly sold and the proportion of stock picks in these sectors which are to Buy rather than Sell, remain below historical avarages. Despite this phenomenon, IDFC remains one of the most favoured companies, illustrating a somewhat divided opinion on individual stocks within the Banking sector.

The average length of Buy picks continues to fall, demonstrating the community’s improved sentiment towards the medium term (6-12 month) outlook. However, we are still well above the historical average as the moneyvidya.com community is increasingly looking beyond 6 months to extract value from the market.

The proportion of picks which are to Buy a stock (rather than Sell one) continues to rise, and is now approaching a historical high as sentiment seems increasingly optimistic.
