Stock Market Timing: Sensex, Nifty make a break out; Top five shares to buy at current levels

Stock Market Timing: In India, the stock market opens at 9:15 AM and closes at 3:30 PM. For, more information to the stock market enthusiasts, there is a pre-opening session that begins at 9:00 AM. This 15 minute period gives an indication of the market behaviour in the opening bell session. However, in this entire period, some people end up losing their money. Others go home sulking, believing that they could have made profit had they taken their positions on time. So, stock market timings are quite important for an investor who wants to make money quick. Of course, risk abounds in such a method and timing the market is what experts generally do and the retail investor should ideally not indulge in it.

Having said that, one needs to take his or her call at the right time to maximise profits on investment. According to the stock market experts, small investors panic after a market crash and start selling, though a smart investor sees a buying opportunity during stock market dips. Similarly, several investors turn into 'bull' when the market is on the higher side. So, decision-making capacity and right decision at the right time is key for a smart stock market investor because he knows the value of timings or break out at Sensex, Nifty and other indices.

SEBI registered technical equity analyst Simi Bhaumik also nodded with bullish prediction in regard to the ICICI share price.
