Stock picks for Jan 8, 2013

Lakshmi Vilas Bank:

Sudarshan Sukhani, s2analytics.com is of the view that it is far better to get out of Lakshmi Vilas Bank . "The oil marketing companies are doing very well and chart suggest there is more momentum on the upside."

Sukhani told CNBC-TV18, "The oil marketing companies are doing very well, and that is little bit of a surprise because after the initial spurt I thought this will dissipate just as it does every time, but it has been fairly consistent. I do not have a call. I do not really understand how these company prices behave and sometimes it gets very confusing. But if somebody still understands it, yes the charts do say that there is more momentum on the upside."

United Spirits:

Rajesh Agarwal, Eastern Financiers is of the view that one can buy United Spirits on any correction in price for long term perspective.

Agarwal told CNBC-TV18, "For a longer-term horizon any fall in United Spirits price would be a clear buy because even after the open offer if you look at the fundamentals, these numbers are going to improve with Diageo being on the board and infusing funds on that. We expect the company to report an EPS of around Rs 70 in the next year. If we take this on valuation parameter as an FMCG company, although it is not an FMCG company but on the same parameters if we take this we expect this price to be around Rs 2400-2500 in the next six to nine months. Any fall in the stock prices would be an opportunity to buy."
