Just before the general election , many investors are
searching for stocks which may out perform if a stable government came to power
.Since the uncertainty about the outcome is higher we should think about the opposite
side too. What I means is , we should
select stocks which will not under perform if the next government is not a a
stable one ,too.Considering both these situations and the recent run up in many
sectors like Engineering,Infrastructure ..etc ,it is not an easy task to select
a good stock for this purpose.But still there is few stocks available at
reasonable valuation which may out perform in a positive election outcome but
will not fall much even if there is any negative outcome.This week let us
look into one such stock – Kirloskar Oil Engine.
