Watch the full conversation here:
Edited excerpts from the conversation.
Gobind Vijay: I need a fundamental view on Mayur Uniquoters Ltd. Can I buy the stock at current levels with a long-term perspective?
Astha Jain: One can hold on to the stock. The company has a strong financial performance and one should hold.
Nitesh Johare: I need a fundamental view on Asian Paints and Berger Paints. Which of these two would be a good bet in the next two-three years?
Astha Jain: The paints sector stocks are rallying. One should hold on to the Asian Paints stock at current levels.
Siva Kumar: I need a short-term view on ICICI Prudential Life. What could be the next resistance level for this stock?
Sameet Chavan: The stock has broken all its near-term resistance. One should watch out for the levels between Rs 420 and Rs 422.
Vivek Kanojia: I own 100 shares of Sintex Plastic at Rs 65.77 apiece. With a long-term perspective of three years, what should I do?
Astha Jain: I would recommend one to book losses in this stock and sell. The financial performance and the debt of the company does not look good.
Sandeep Patil: I have bought 100 shares of Jubilant Foodworks at Rs 1,455 for intra-day period. What should I do?
Sameet Chavan: In case of any bounce-back from current levels to Rs 1,450-1,460, I would recommend one to exit the stock.
Ananta Venkatakrishnan: If I have Rs 3 lakh, where should I invest: Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv or Bandhan Bank?
Astha Jain: The Bajaj stocks are trading at their 52-week highs. I would suggest one to wait for a while and then enter the stock. I would suggest one to buy the Bajaj Finance shares worth 10-20 percent of the portfolio amount they have decided. Wait for the correct time to enter the stock and start accumulating right now.
Naveen Agarwal: What should be my target if I want to exit from Reliance Capital?
Sameet Chavan: I would suggest one to watch out for the Rs 400-405 levels.
Sachin: I need a long-term view on La Opala for five years.
Astha Jain: I would recommend one to hold on to the stock. Wait for the earnings for this quarter and then take a call.
P S Krishnan: Can I buy ONGC, TVS Motor and India Cements with a one-month perspective?
Sameet Chavan: I would suggest one to invest in GAIL instead of ONGC with a one-month view. TVS Motor has seen corrections, so I would suggest one to stay away. I would also recommend one to buy India Cements at the current level.
Srividya: I bought Fortis Healthcare at Rs 182 apiece, Dr. Reddy’s at Rs 3,140 apiece and JB Chemicals at Rs 385 apiece. I am incurring a loss with these. Should I hold or sell?
Astha Jain: I would recommend one to exit the Fortis Healthcare as well as Dr. Reddy’s. I would suggest one invest in the FMCG and IT stocks. One can invest in Mastek, Nestle India, and Hindustan Unilever.
Praneet Kumar: I have bought 1,500 shares of BHEL at Rs 75 apiece for intra-day trade. What should be my target?
Sameet Chavan: Ideally, one should have booked at around Rs 77.5, which was a near-term intra-day resistance level. I would recommend one to hold on to the stock with a stop-loss of Rs 73.
Harsh Kumar: Could you make two fundamental recommendations for the mid-cap stocks? I am looking for a fresh investment of Rs 1-2 lakh with a time period of two-three years.
Astha Jain: I would recommend one to consider Balaji Amines and Sterlite Technologies for investments in mid-cap stocks. I am bullish on large-cap stocks and would recommend investing in HUL, HDFC Bank and TCS.
Parveen Gulati: I currently hold shares of Tata Motors at Rs 305 apiece, Punjab National Bank at Rs 92 apiece and Lupin at Rs 1,032 apiece. Should I hold on to these stocks until Sept. 23?
Sameet Chavan: These stocks have been underperforming. I would recommend one to hold on to the stocks but one should raise the time one intends to hold it for.
Sujata Naik: I bought 12,350 shares of Ashok Leyland for Rs 140 apiece. What should I do?
Astha Jain: I would suggest one to hold on to the stock.
Sameet Chavan: I would suggest one to keep a stop-loss of Rs 105. If the stock gives a bounce-back towards the Rs 120-level, one can consider exiting it.
Jatin Patel: I currently have 181 shares of Glenmark Pharmaceuticals at Rs 607 apiece. I can hold on to the stock for 6-12 months. Should I hold or book losses?
Sameet Chavan: I would recommend one to hold on the stock and keep a stop-loss of Rs 547.
Krish: At what price can I enter Man Infraconstruction with a six-month horizon?
Sameet Chavan: One can enter the stock if it surpasses the Rs 46-48-level and sustains there. Keep a near-term target of Rs 56-58.
