Following a tweet from @jakesprime I checked the list of stocks that have fallen over 50% in the last month. With reasonable trading volumes.

Symbol Name 11-Dec 11-Nov Fall Traded (Cr.) GITANJALI Gitanjali Gems 180.75 367.90 50.87% 140.94 DBREALTY D B Realty 198.60 413.75 52.00% 20.51 DCM DCM Limited 77.95 162.50 52.03% 13.12 SELMCL SEL Manufacturing Company 18.90 39.60 52.27% 36.82 KGL Karuturi Global Limited 16.15 35.40 54.38% 24.78 KOUTONS Koutons Retail 44.55 98.20 54.63% 2.56 SMPL Sujana Metals 19.90 44.05 54.82% 6.17 GSSAMERICA GSS America Infotech 184.15 410.05 55.09% 1.07 GAL Gyscoal Alloys 32.45 75.50 57.02% 2.68 PARAL Parekh Aluminex 227.90 565.20 59.68% 4.23 FARMAXIND Farmax India 17.05 43.60 60.89% 13.57 CEBBCO Commercial Engg & Body Builders Co 43.50 115.95 62.48% 2.60 SHREEASHTA Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision 15.95 48.45 67.08% 41.02 MMFSL Money Matters Financial Services 206.65 670.00 69.16% 3.46 MVL MVL Limited 18.45 60.75 69.63% 0.81

Some of these are “scam tainted” – like MMFSL in the Bribery case. But even partially negative mentions like KGL or stocks like Gitanjali have seen huge falls. Perhaps there are reasons – like a squeeze on leveraged buyers or promoters, bad news about the company, operators managed falls etc.

But just as likely: some of these stocks are real value buys, in an otherwise overpriced market. While they are all technically weak, some seem to have done their moves; and I’d look for them to move up above their 100 day moving averages.
