Anand Rathi's Jigar Patel recommends 3 stocks for short-term gains

Stock markets are places where people buy and sell small pieces of companies, hoping the prices go up.

When lots of people buy, prices often rise, and when they sell, prices fall.

An expert named Jigar Patel studies charts and numbers to guess which stocks might go up.

He recommends three Indian companies to buy: Bharat Forge, EID Parry and GMDC.

He thinks their prices will rise over the next week or two.

He also tells investors exactly when to sell if things go wrong, which is called a stop loss.

Last week the Indian stock market went up a little, helped by cheaper oil and positive talk from the country's central bank.

New reports about the prices of daily goods will come out this week and might move the market.

Mr. Patel says it is safer to buy when prices dip a little instead of chasing high prices.
