The Good Bad and Ugly weekly review : 06 February 2024

Markets this week

Nifty displayed promising patterns this week. Despite a partial decline towards the end of the week, an inverted head and shoulders pattern emerged, indicating a potential downtrend. The bottom support at 21,500 to 21,450 remained crucial, while the neckline at 21,800 remained intact. If these levels are not breached, the index could potentially reach 24,000 to 24,500.

Benchmark Indices & WeekendInvesting Overview

Smallcap 250 index had a remarkable run this week clocking 4.4% followed byt Mid-Small 4oo index at 3.3% while other benchmarks were also up between 2.4% and 2.7%.

From the FY 24 perspective, Smallcap 250 leads the chart with a splendid performance of 72% followed by Mid-small 400 index at 62%. Nifty 50 however has stayed relatively weak clocking only 26% clearly indicating that money flow is predominantly seen in the lower market cap segments so far.

Mi MT Allcap comes third on the weekly chart having recorded 7% gains. The best part of the week has to be the fact that majority of the strategies outperformed their respective benchmarks.

REALY continues to lose steam slipping to #15 on the weekly momentum chart.

PSE and PSU BANKS have been super strong occupying the top 2 slots with ENERGY taking the third. METALS have done well to regain momentum after a slump in the early part of past month. IT stocks have once again fallen off the radar slipping to #16 in the fortnightly chart as BANKS, FMC & MEDIA continue to languish at the bottom.

Spotlight – JBMA scores 3x in Mi 35

We had entered JBMA back in Mar 2023 at about 629 levels and the stock has become a 3x bagger recording a superb 210% since entering our portfolio. We continue to hold this stock in the strategy and would like to further illustrate the importance of running along with your winners as far as possible while cutting down on your losers early.

Mi 35 has done exceptionally well since launch clocking a massive 144% gains compared to it’s benchmark, the Smallcap 250 index which clocked only 69% ( 15 Jul 2021 to 02 Feb 2024 ).

What is impressive is that the strategy has managed to outperform its benchmark across all timeframes and emerge as an absolute favorite among many many folks.
