Motilal Oswal analyst Taparia recommends three stocks to buy
The stock market is a place where people buy and sell tiny pieces of big companies.
Sometimes the prices of these pieces go up, and sometimes they go down.
On Friday, experts think the market in India will start the day a little lower.
A market expert named Chandan Taparia studies charts and patterns to guess which prices might go up.
He told people about three companies he thinks are good to buy right now.
The first one is Radico Khaitan, a company that makes drinks and is near its highest price ever.
The second one is Paytm, an app many people use to pay with their phones.
The third one is DLF, a company that builds homes and offices.
He also told buyers the price at which they can sell for a profit, and a safety price to sell at if the price drops too much.
Indian stock market is expected to open lower on Friday, 14 August, with Gift Nifty trading around 24,436, a discount of nearly 32 points from Nifty futures' previous close.
In the previous session, the Sensex gained 113.61 points (0.15%) to close at 78,079.96, while the Nifty 50 fell 40.10 points (0.16%) to 24,395.85.
Chandan Taparia of Motilal Oswal recommends buying Radico Khaitan (target ₹4,950), Paytm (target ₹1,750), and DLF (target ₹705) with specified stop losses.
Nifty option data indicates a broader trading range of 24,200-24,700, with an immediate range between 24,300 and 24,600.
Taparia sees Nifty upside towards 24,550 then 24,650 if it holds above 24,400, while support is seen at 24,300 then 24,200.
