Can Reliance Industries come to levels 500-525 ??

Should I put my money in RIL at current levels with the hopes that down side from here is almost capped ??

Or RIL can come down as low as 500-525 over a period of time and so looking at risk I should avoid this stock right now ?

If RIL breaks down to 500-525 then probably Nifty will also take a down trend till 2500-2550 in due course.

So what should be my strategy so that my WORKING CAPITAL remains protected and I can earn some profit also ?

Please note that I am talking about investing and not day to day trading and so I am more interested in broader future of the market & RIL.

Warm regards

Dear Mr. Sudarshan, in one of your previous posts you showed that ibm did nothing for around 10 yesrs, we are in a similar phase as far as most cash counters in the index are concerned, for eg RIL is moving from 1050-1080 most of the time, is it better to have a mechanical kind of setup for such stocks now or be in cash till such time that the range increases and we don't when it will come? Put in other words what is the risk of the nifty tanking big time now?

Sir,
"Now, experts have been known to be wrong. (including this writer who is not an expert, but still gets it wrong, many times)."
I like the reality you expose and accept the market trend gracefully.(most of the experts continue with their ideas and when they go wrong find some or other excuses , but don't accept the reality.)
One must understand that by studying the charts and trends some theory has been generated ,based on those inferences ,forecast has been made, which may or may not come true. But the experts , (I still accept you as an expert who has unbiased view) always have done the inference from years of experience and refining the forecast with new theories added.
It is a continuing process where output(forecast) can be modified by giving a feedback loop to the input (past chart).
The feedback loop are constraints like US PreMkt. , actual Mkt., europe Mkt. , asian Mkt., local constraints like political scenes, monsoon etc.
"My Point: No one knows the future. What we have in front of us is the trend. Depending on yout time profile (day, swing, position, investor), follow the trend."
The last three words say everything: FOLLOW THE TREND

What about contrarian approach for investors in this of market situation, instead of following the trend?
