Shares of John Keels Hotels will have a strong demand in short to medium term as many investors who applied for additional shares of the company were allotted less than 0.1% of the requested quantity.

We expect market to improve further as many investors are getting funds of the unallocated shares of John Keels Hotels these days.

John Keels Holding company had several crossings @ Rs 190.00 levels,which is a very positive signal to the market. If John Keels Holding company has continuous buyers we can expect market to grow further upward direction.
