Edited excerpts from the conversation:

Nikhil: Is there any chance that Bharti Airtel can reach Rs 420 levels in a month? Also, please suggest some stocks with a short-term view.

Brijesh Singh: I don’t think so as Rs 420 level looks far beyond if the stock fails to touch Rs 390. For a short-term view, you can invest in stocks such as Tech Mahindra, DCB Bank and RBL Bank. However, I suggest you hold them for a bit longer term.

Ramesh: Can you please stocks from the FMCG sector with a two-year view?

Sandeep Jain: I prefer stocks such as Marico, HUL, ITC and Colgate Palmolive.

Karan Rajpal: What is your short-term view on Tata Motors?

Ashish Malik: I bought 100 shares of Escorts at Rs 880. Please provide a one-year view.
