The problem with PE ratio is that it not only creates a mirage in terms of buying of a stock. But even selling stocks just because P/E is high is also something which leads to selling wealth creators early and then regretting or buying them at a point when they are expensive in real terms. So it is better to use peg ratio, which comes with its own challenges, which are still worth taking. Key Points

Economic TimesStock picks of the week: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 42%
After touching a new high, nifty and sensex moved into correction mode. If one looks at the way markets have moved intraday in this phase of correction, it appears that a basket selling pushes the index down then there is one sector which pushes it back up. These are indications that in the coming two weeks, when there is a high probability of volumes being low in the markets, we may see slightly higher volatility as stock prices will react more to even slightly a bit of selling or buying. In such times it would be better to stay with stocks where analysts' outlook has improved over the last one month. These selected stocks depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars i.e. earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk and price momentum. This implies that there has been a significant improvement in their market outlook in the given time frame. Key Points
