Nik's Diary
Indian markets opened marginally in the red tracking SGX Nifty, which too is currently trading marginally lower by ~0.1%. Major Asian indices have had a mixed opening. While the Hang Seng is trading lower by ~0.8%, Shanghai and Nikkei are trading marginally in the green. US stocks moved modestly higher on Wednesday after recovering from an early move on the downside. The Dow ended the day slightly higher, recording its first nine-day winning streak since November of 1996 and setting another new closing record high. Before the start of trading, the Commerce Department released a report showing a strong jump in retail sales in February, although the increase was largely due to higher gas prices. Most of the European markets were down on Wednesday. Meanwhile Indian markets extended declines for a third day in a row, weighed down by renewed concerns about a slowdown in China and uncertainty over Europe's economic outlook. The Indian markets will keenly await the WPI numbers, which are to release during the day.

BGR Energy pulls out of `800cr contract with NTPC
BGR Energy has pulled out of a contract, estimated to be Rs. 800 crore, for supply of power equipment to NTPC's proposed 1,600 megawatt (MW) Darlipali project in Odisha, citing non-progress of the project. According to sources, BGR Energy, which had bagged the contract for supplying turbines and generators to Darlipali plant in Odisha in 2011, pulled out as project work has not yet started at plant due to non-availability of various clearances and physical possession of land. The contract was valued at Rs. 800 crore. When asked to confirm the development a BGR Energy spokesperson said: "We need to review the cost of the contract if NTPC is going ahead with it." When asked whether NTPC would invite fresh bids for the turbines and generators, its chairman and managing Director Arup Roy Choudhury told PTI, "There will be fresh bids for the turbine." NTPC, on the other hand, said that the company has not received the requisite land for the project. The project requires approximately 1,600 acres of land. "We are unable to start work on the project due to delayed clearances," an NTPC official said.  Source: NDTV

Professional Trading !!

Professional Trading is a profession where an individual makes his living from trading in stock and commodity markets. A professional that involves prolonged training and experience. It provides you with other various opportunities. It gives you freedom of time and money. It has no competition threat. There are no deadlines, no geographical deadlines, no dependency on staff. You are your own boss.  When people come to the world of trading many think that they only need to learn a strategy and follow the rules of that strategy and they do this for a while. The problem with those who do not first get a good foundation of the markets is that when the markets change or when they have a draw down they start making mistakes. Those mistakes lead to self sabotage even in the healthiest of minds. The process of trading is only enjoyable when your sub conscious mind figure out the right ways for trade.
