Short Bank of India, says Sudarshan Sukhani

Sukhani told CNBC-TV18, " Bank of India has been falling like most PSU banks and then it went into a small trading range. It is on the verge of cracking below it.”

He further added, “A lot of PSU banks have turned around, completed their bull markets and have embarked on what promises to be a very deep decline. Bank of India is one of them, go short in it, don’t expect big rewards in intraday trading, which is why stay with the best of the blue-chips if you want to go long. Everything else is a short, Bank of India certainly is for today.”
