Prior to the declaration of the 2009 election results in India, a senior research analyst was evaluating to forecast the aftereffects of the election and its ultimate impact on the stock markets activities. The analysts with a leading investment and brokerage firm in India needed to devise most appropriate approaches for his clients in this high volatility environment that was created because of the election and ultimately lead to a higher risk for investors. If a majority of the government takes the seats in the parliament then it might be quite helpful for the market, but the opposite results of the elections would create opposite impacts on the markets. The analyst had the confusion in prioritizing two of the strategies whether defensive or aggressive. He wanted to figure out a lucrative strategy for his clients without any potential risk with the strategy and within a short period.
