Here are the edited excerpts of the conversation:
Rajesh Kumar: I want to invest in Tata Coffee with a long-term view. Is this the right time?
Astha Jain: I suggest you to wait for results of the ongoing quarter and then make a decision.
Nikhil: Please share a short-term view on MCX and Royal Orchid hotels?
Amar Singh: MCX is range-bound till it crosses Rs 800-820 levels. Although, the downside to this stock is limited. For Royal Orchid, use any dip as a buying opportunity.
Sarbjeet Singh Sidhu: I am holding 600 units of Allcargo at Rs 160. I have a long-term view. What is your suggestion?
Astha Jain: I recommend you to exit as we can see further downside to this stock.
Karthik Mahadevan: I have 400 shares of Relaxo Footwears at Rs 450 with a long-term view. I also hold 300 shares of Acrysil at Rs 480. I can hold both for three to five years. Please advise.
Aastha Jain: I recommend you to hold the stock as it has posted healthy results and has a good return ratio. You can partially book some profit. Near-term target for the stock is Rs 700-750.
Amar Singh: I recommend you to book profit and exit the stock.
Aniruddh Gupta: I have 100 shares of Thirumalai Chemicals at Rs 1,750. Please suggest from a one to two year perspective. Should I average my holding?
Astha Jain: I advise you to average as it has very attractive valuations right now. A long-term (one to two years) target for this stock is Rs 2,000.
Anand: I have 1,000 shares of Schneider at Rs 122 with a short-term view. Please suggest.
Amar Singh: I recommend you to use any pull-back as a shorting opportunity. For any meaningful bounce back the stock has to consistently trade above Rs 110-112.
Gaurav Trivedi: I have bought an SBI call option of 280 at Rs 1.50. Should I hold it till expiry or sell it?
Amar Singh: I recommend you to book your profit and exit on Monday on a good opportunity.
Venkatesan Damodaran: I bought Granules India at Rs 114. What should I do?
Astha Jain: I recommend you to exit the stock as it does not look like an attractive counter to trade on.
Yash Mehrotra: I bought Bombay Dyeing at Rs 312 and Indiabulls Ventures at Rs 458. Can I add more or should exit at these levels? I need a view for six months.
Amar Singh: I recommend you to wait for Indiabulls Ventures as we can see some consolidation for the stock. For Bombay Dyeing, any pull-back towards Rs 240 can be used as a buying opportunity. Otherwise hold on to the stock.
Haider Ali: Please suggest a long-term view for SBI.
Astha Jain: I advise you to wait for the next results of the bank and see if anything that the management said materialises. Otherwise private sector banks are a better pick than the public sector. HDFC Bank is a top pick.
Ranjan Debnath: I need a short-term view on Suprajit Engineering.
Astha Jain: I recommend you to hold the stock if you have already invested as the growth trajectory looks good.
Shikhar Saluja: I bought Ceat Tyres at Rs 1,700 levels. What should I do?
Amar Singh: The stock has a support around Rs 1,280-1,300. If the stock consolidates around those levels, one can look at buying. The stock, however, needs to trade above Rs 1,400-1,420 for any upside.
Sourabh Garg: I am holding 500 shares of JSPL at Rs 252 with a four to five year view. Please advise.
Astha Jain: I recommend you to wait for the company to post better results before investing in it.
Kartavya Sharma: Would it be wise to enter into PNC infratech and Abbott India at current levels with a nine to 12 month view?
Amar Singh: Any pull-back towards Rs 6,000-6,200 should be used as a buying opportunity as the uptrend remains intact for Abbot India.
Any correction in PNC infratech stock towards Rs 150-155 can be used as a buying opportunity, with a stop loss below Rs 130 and a target of Rs 200 on the upside.
Bhavesh Jain: I have 352 shares of Reliance Nippon bought at an average price of Rs 259. What is your view and should I try to average these levels?
Astha Jain: I recommend you to hold the stock only if you have a long-term view.
