Nitin Murarka : Today L&T stock is up with addition of 5% in OI and there is a buying in capital goods stocks across the board. This indicates that there is an accumulation going in the sector. The reason is there was a lot build of shorts while stock prices were down since the inception of Jan options. Shortcovering can push up the prices and L&T can move up to 1,070 in the current expiry.
