Buy Essar Oil, says Sudarshan Sukhani of s2analytics.com.
Sukhani told CNBC-TV18, "Essar Oil is not an active stock but it has been doing the right things, making trading ranges and breaking out. There is a step by step rally in Essar Oil for sometime now. Three days ago Essar Oil broke out from a trading range, yesterday it built on those gains. So here is a stock that is telling us that trend is up, the results are good, market has liked it and probably more momentum is possible today. And then the rub-off from Reliance could also come today itself, so it is a very interesting buy."
