According to Prakash Gaba of prakashgaba.com, Lakshmi Vilas Bank is trading somewhere closer to support. This is not the place to exit. This is the place to hold.
"We might see a bounce. If we get a bounce where does it go, Rs 165-175 zones. That is the area to exit. The stock is not good. Looks like structurally weak. Any upmoves would be a shorting opportunity, so I will take an opportunity to exit the stock if I see an upmove," he added.
