Buy Schneider Electric, JBM Auto; Avoid ICICI Bank: Jay Thakkar

It is too early to say that the correction is over in stock markets as Nifty is continuously making lower tops but at the same time it is not making lower bottoms, says Jay Thakkar, senior technical analyst at Sharekhan. Nifty is trading in a narrow range between 8,500 on the downside and 8,800 on the upside and traders should go short only if Nifty moves below 8,500 and those who are long should keep stop loss at 8500, adds Mr Thakkar. He advises traders to avoid trading in the index as long as its stays in this range.
