I have always been interested by sectoral analysis-wherein a company’s stock price moves in tandem with the sector/theme.
The sheer variety of stocks in India makes it possible to investigate themes/sectors which just have 2/3 names in it.
Take for instance, petroleum coke stocks.As shown in the table below, they appear to be tanking year to date (YTD).
| Symbol | Close on 31 Dec,2012 | Close on 17 July,2013 | Loss |
| GOACARBON | 92.55 | 61.05 | -34.04% |
| RAINCOM | 39.6 | 34.05 | -14.02% |
