During the weekly chat with market expert Pranav Sanghavi, readers mostly enquired about viable stocks in a choppy market.
Apart from advising them to think long term and to be patient, Sanghavi told them to invest in frontline IT stocks like TCS and Infosys. Here is the transcript:
PRANAV SANGHAVI says,
Bullish asked, wots ur call on Tata Steel....which lavels to buy?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Steel as a commodity has witnessed a lot of news based action. I feel the demand for steel will not subside in the future but the prices have been fluctuating so the TISCO stock price will depend on the steel price movments amongst other factors.
djdeepakjain asked, Hello Pranav, What is your opinion on Yes Bank?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Yes Beank is fairly young in the banking arena. I would rather go with a more frontline bank with pedigree.
diwadkar asked, It is worth bying Ashok Layland and RPL at current rate
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, All the auto stocks have tumbled in the past few sessions. But Ashok Leyland on a longer term should perform well. RPL has to be a very long term investment with a five year outlook.
AbhisekDaga asked, hi my first question is when can we expect ranbaxy to go between 450-500 another one is when can we expect RPL to reach atleast 70
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Ranbaxy has various factors affecting its price. The family feud, it's patent infringement cases overseas. So I wouldn't be able to predict an rise in its price. But keep watching the news. RPL's commercial production should start around 2010. Considering this, when some serious delivery based buying is seen in the scrip it should cross the Rs. 70 levels.
