20 stocks you can gain from

Last updated on: September 2, 2011 08:52 IST


August was a month of agony for investors as they lost more than Rs 1 crore (Rs 10 million) in every second of trade, on an average, taking the total losses for the market to over Rs 5.5 lakh crore.

It was also the worst month for investors since January 2011, when the average loss per second of trade was about Rs 1.5 crore (Rs 15 million).

The benchmark index lost over 1,500 points in the entire month, while the investor wealth plummeted by Rs 555,650 crore (Rs 5,556.50 billion) -- the biggest monthly loss since January 2011 when the market had lost little over Rs 700,000 crore (Rs 7,000 billion).

Amid slowing growth and global uncertainties, here are the top recommendations of leading research houses -- Edelweiss Research, ENAM Securities, Macquarie Research and Motilal Oswal Securities.
