Stocks in the news this week (May 15, ‘14)

The great ‘event’ will finally happen tomorrow (May 16) – announcement of results after the protracted general elections. TV and print media had a field day in covering and analysing the elections and the likely results in an effort to grab ‘eyeballs’.
More important news have been ignored. The IIP number was –0.5% – another month of negative industrial production, but an improvement over the previous month. CPI inflation moved up – thanks to higher vegetable and fruit prices. WPI inflation eased a bit. The new government will have their work cut out.
Companies are in the midst of announcing quarterly and annual results. Their stocks are reacting accordingly – as the charts below will show. Make sure you understand what these companies do, and who they do it to, before deciding to buy or sell.
