Software biggies had a rocking July 2013

I had blogged earlier (here and here) about how Export oriented stocks have become the new meme amongst the investing community.

For subscribers of the Investor Wisdom Newsletter,I had mentioned the stocks where LIC had poured money in the last quarter.

So it turns out that software biggies were the biggest gainers of July 2013 as can be seen from the table below:

Symbol Close on 28 June,2013 Close on 30 July,2013 Gain
OFSS 2699 2958.7 9.62%
TECHM 1059.8 1246.3 17.60%
INFY 2498.85 2969.65 18.84%
TCS 1518.15 1815.5 19.59%
HCLTECH 776 937.55 20.82%
