Indian markets traded with strong gains after days of subdued trade. The Nifty index clawed above the psychological 5,000 mark, though the index continues to trade below the long term support levels.

Despite strength in the markets today, analysts advised caution towards fresh investment. "4,950-5,050 range should be a no trading zone as far as the index is concerned, though stock specific trades would emerge day to day," independent analyst Sarvendra Srivastava said.

Here are seven stock recommendations from Srivastava. These calls are based on technical charts.
