The obvious question in front of us now is where are the markets headed and what are the experts saying now.
G Devanathan of Rare Enterprises is of the view, "One should not have any targets to the upside but the way the market has moved today there is some more gains to go. At the same time the point to note is this kind of incredible speed is also too difficult to sustain but as of now the trend is up in fact at every fall the market has been textured and it has reasserted its uptrend in a defining manner so as long as the markets are continuing to make new highs one should just follow the trend.
