Edited excerpts from the conversation:
Nikhil Gande: I bought shares of Voltas at Rs 610 apiece. With the first quarter result coming up, should I add more shares?
Brijesh Singh: I would recommend one to start accumulating below the Rs 540 level, with a stop-loss of Rs 510. Hold on to the stock.
Shaurya Bajaj: I bought shares of Asian Paints at its high. What should I do?
Brijesh Singh: I would recommend one to hold on till the stock touches a stop-loss of Rs 1,410.
Ravi Shankar: Can I buy Apar Industries at the current level? I need a six-month view.
Brijesh Singh: For a short-to-medium-term time frame, one can look to accumulate the stock with a stop-loss of Rs 495.
Shailesh: What is your view on TCS Ltd. ? What levels can we expect by the end of expiry on Aug. 30.
Brijesh Singh: If the stock reaches Rs 1,910 level, one can buy the shares with a stop-loss of Rs 1,875.
Sujata: I currently have 12,350 shares of Ashok Leyland at Rs 140 apiece. What is your technical view on this?
Brijesh Singh: I would recommend one to accumulate below the Rs 150 level. The stock looks bullish. Hold on to the stock with a stop-loss of Rs 105.
Siva Kumar: I need a long-term view on L&T Finance Holding.
Sandeep Jain: I would recommend one to hold on to the stock and it can be bought in declines.
Gopi Gopal: The cement stocks are turning around. With the Finance Minister positive about bringing down the GST on cement products, is it a good time to enter Heidelberg cement ? Any rational targets?
Sandeep Jain: I would instead recommend one to invest in larger cement stocks like Ultratech Cement and Prism Johnson. Star Cement, too, is a good stock. The cement sector seems bullish.
Adwait Vaidya: I bought shares of Yes Bank at Rs 349 apiece. Should I hold, sell or book profits?
Brijesh Singh: I would recommend one to book partial profits right now with a trailing stop-loss of Rs 350.
Ashok Rajpurohit: I need a view on Ashok Leyland with a long-term view.
Sandeep Jain: I would recommend one to hold on to the stock and those looking to enter the stock can do so at the current level.
Debarpan Sarkar: With a fresh entry and a one-year outlook, I would like your view on Oberoi Realty.
Brijesh Singh: I would recommend one to enter the stock at Rs 450 level with a stop-loss of Rs 420. The current level is not viable to enter the stock.
Sandeep Jain: One should buy the stock once it declines. One should hold on to the stock, and those looking for a long-term view should enter the stock between Rs 425 and Rs 450.
Vivek Kanujia: I need a three-year view on Uflex and Time TechnoPlast.
Sandeep Jain: I would recommend one to wait for a while before entering the stock.
Parth Soni: I want a technical view on Coal India.
Brijesh Singh: With a stop-loss of Rs 260, one can take a buy call at levels below Rs 270.
Tushar Tiwari: Has Reliance Industries been overvalued?
Sandeep Jain: The stock is not overvalued and, is in fact, a good stock. Reiance Jio and Retail are good emerging segments. One should buy the shares on declines.
Rahul Nayak: Among aluminium, iron ore, steel and copper, which one should I go with?
Sandeep Jain: These are cyclical commodities. Hindalco is a good stock. MOIL, too, is a great stock to enter. Vedanta is a good bet with a long-term view.
Harsha Vardhan: What would your advice be on Andhra Sugar?
Brijesh Singh: With Rs 350 as your stop-loss, one can enter the stock. Look for the target of Rs 425.
Lakshmi Kumar: I bought shares of Bharat Electronics Ltd. at Rs 143 apiece. What should I do?
