Market may move sideways
The current market sentiment is mainly driven by the earning estimations and movement in global indices. The mood of the market is expected to remain positive after Friday's solid gains and the gains in the US markets will also help the local indices advance further.

Among the indices, the Nifty could test higher levels around 4550 and 4600 while on the downside the index has a strong support at 4450-4385 levels. The Sensex has a likely support at 15000 and may face resistance at 15450. Geomet, Indo Rama Synthics, Merck, Petronet LNG, Power Finance Corporation and TCS are expected to announce their numbers.

Bulls in charge but look before you leap
It is by attempting to reach the top in a single leap that so much misery is caused in the world”
With foreign capital inflows continuing unabated and global markets extending more than a helping hand, the local bulls are set to leap ahead. We expect the key indices to start the new week on a positive note. The market has rallied sharply over the past few weeks. Some cooling from higher levels cannot be ruled out. The large caps particularly do not look cheap and only select heavyweights appear to be propping up the main indices. A reshuffling of portfolio could be considered. Lock in some gains in stocks that have had a strong run. Though fresh buying should be largely avoided, any purchases should be done with utmost care. The action has been heating up in the small-cap and mid-cap stocks. But, one should be careful while investing in these stocks, as they tend to be very volatile and lack liquidity. Quarterly results will continue to drive the market in the near term. Select stock specific and sector-centric trend is the order of the day. Short-term traders may find it really tough to make money in this kind of a market. Even long-term investors will have to be smarter in picking up stocks.

Google, Yahoo may be eyeing Rediff
US-based Internet giants such as Google and Yahoo are eyeing Rediff.com India Ltd, which runs one of India's most popular consumer Internet portals, for a possible acquisition. Investment banking sources told Hindustan Times that the management of Nasdaq-listed Rediff was in talks with the global companies for a negotiated takeover deal.
Rediff, Google and Yahoo officials could not be immediately reached for their comments. Talk of the deal is emerging in the context of a general worldwide rebound in the Internet business, and India emerging as a hot story in the global economy with strong growth in both telephone penetration and the Internet in urban areas.
Leading US-based investment journal Barrons reported this month that Rediff is seeing speculation that it could be a takeover target. Rediff’s stock has witnessed a sharp jump in share price and volume on Nasdaq over the past week, when it also launched a Website to help consumers upload voice, video and photographic content for free.
The company's stock moved up to $25.41 per share on July 13 from $17.94 on July 5 and. The trading volume has increased to more than a million shares from an average of 50,000 share a day. In fact, on July 12, Rediff shares closed at $26.46 and more than 3.3 million shares traded hands. The company has a current market capitalisation of $738 million.
The sources said if the deal comes through, the valuation may be close to a billion US dollars.
The Barrons report quoted Ashish Thadani, an analyst at Gilford Securities, as saying that Rediff could fetch more than $ 25 a share in a sale and could see other suitors besides Yahoo and Google
Other suitors could possibly include AOL (America On Line), a division of Time Warner, which has a strong presence in offshore services from India, but is not a significant player in the market. Microsoft's MSN portal is also keenly stepping up its presence in the Indian market.
Rediff.com India, an online provider of news, information, communication, entertainment and shopping services, reported a net income of $2 million for the fourth quarter or $6.89 per ADS, compared with $0.53 million or $1.96 per ADS in the same quarter of the previous year.
The company's revenues increased 66 per cent to $8.48 million from $5.11 million in the same quarter of last year. India Online revenues, which include advertising and fee-based revenues, jumped 76 per cent to $6.30 million from $3.57 million in the year-ago quarter, while US Publishing revenues were $2.18 million, up 42 per cent from $1.54 million a year earlier.
