With the market being choppy this season, investors were concerned if this was the right time to enter the market during our weekly market chat with Pranav Sanghavi. In his usual pragmatic style, Sangahvi answered all the queries for an hour. Here is the transcript:
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT says, Hello everyone. Let's begin the chat.
BDC asked, Is it the right time to enter Share market or wait for a fall
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, One can never predict a right time. If you are investing with a longer term perspective you can enter any time. Ofcourse, a crash is the best time to invest. But there could be a short term correction in the recent future.
AMIN asked, IS IT THE TIME TO SALE RELIANCE INDUSTRIES SHARES, WHICH WAS PURCHSED ON 1031.00
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, I think if you hold on you will see a profit on your trade.
bakhti asked, i have arround 10 lakhs invested instock market through mutual funds should a stay invested
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, Yes you should. It will ofcourse depend on your investment goals and time frame. If you email me the details, I could revert back.
rohit asked, pls suggest regarding TeleData Infomatics. Is it a good buy at these levels?
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, I am not a follower of the stock but from what little I know, I would stay away from the stock and rather focus on quality frontline stocks from Teledata's peer group.
Rajndran asked, How about SAIL today ?
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, SAIL is trading around Rs. 75. Steel as a commodity will continue to see good demand for another 3 to 4 years atleast. But the stock will perform on the prices of steel. For that you have to closely follow the Metal Exchanges around the world.
rohit asked, RCVL is merged with Relcap. do you know when it will allocated to our account
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, It will be within a few days of the record date. The trading has already been suspended.
murtuza asked, how about to invest in hindalco 165 and teledata informatrics 10
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, Hindalco is a commodity stock. So the stock price will depend on the metal index. But fundamentally the company has an extremely strong balance sheet. I would look at the stock for a six month outlook. Regarding Teledata, I have answered a few queries back.
Rajan asked, what is with realty stocks ? ansal housing, Ansal Prop, Mahindra Gesco, should I get in now ?
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, With the recent boom in infrastructure and construction companies all these stocks had witnessed substantial gains. But I think the Ansal stocks were grossly over valued. Mahendra is a quality stock but I would recommend to wait for a dip or a correction before entering.
PKJ asked, Can you please provide your Website / Email id from where we can get regular picks..even if at a charge.
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, The people at rediff shall be setting up an email ID soon for you all to send in your queries. I shall not be charging you for the same :)
PKJ asked, Can you please give your views on Cipla at current price (about 245) for 6-12 months outlook. Also for long term what would you pick TCS / Wipro or Info in order of preference. (long term is say 2 year +)
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, Cipla is definately a midcap pharma stock that you could look into. I think they recently got FDA approvals for a couple of their products. Both TCS and Wipro are promising companies. Both have very strong balance sheets and both are maintaining their growth. I would surely invest in them.
vivek asked, can u advice me on gujarat ambuja
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, It is a buy and hold. The cement sector ha given phenomenal results and I believe they will continue to do so.
priya asked, Will Guj Mineral zoom like NMDC?
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, If some particular investor group does look at it, it could. But one should study the stock and if you believe it is available cheaply only then you should go ahead and buy.
PKJ asked, Reliance NAtural and Reliance Energy...I have entered at wrong time and currently over 25% down on the investment. Not much of movement in these scripts..do u suggest hold or book loss and move on ..if move on then which scripts..can hold for few months at least
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, I am not too conversant with the Reliance Natural's balance sheet. But REL you could surely hold on. They have big plans for the future. And most areas of India have huge shortages of power.
investor asked, should I buy ranbaxy,bank of rajasthan,andhra sugar,ACC at current level for short term investments
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, Ranbaxy, BoR and Andhra Sugar are mostly news driven stocks. Everytime there is some news they spurt up or down. Ranbaxy though you could for a longer term. ACC is a good buy and hold. I would recommend buy at every dip.
Manan asked, Hello Pranav, How are you doing? What's your view on BHEL, Dabur Pharma, United Breweries Holdings & Harrisons Mallyalam for long term investments? Thanking you in advance
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, Hello Manan. I am fine thank you. All are excellent stocks. Harrisons Mallyalam I do not follow. The other three are strong perfomers.

PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, I am bullish on the banking sector and on the frontline stocks like ICICI, HDFC and SBI.
pam asked, there are many recommendations on oswal chemical & fert. pl advise whether it is wise to buy the stock now?
PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, I would carefully study the company before investing in a B2 stock. It could be operator driven.

Manoj asked, What's your take on Aftek. It has net Rs.30 per share cash on B/Sheet and expected Annualised EPS > Rs.10 and its trading at just Rs. 60. Isnt it damn cheap and the target should be around Rs. 200 at least.

PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, It is again a steel commodity stock. But I would recommend a hold. Returns will depend on your time frame. I would rather set a profit target and get out when that is achieved.

PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, The quarterly results and the monthly unit sales figures show that Maruti as a company is doing well. You could hold on.
Sushil asked, What, if Middle East including Iran Flares again vis-viz USA/West ? How sensex wold behave ?

PRANAV SANGHAVI CHAT answers, Well for one month, 6 months or 1 year. My outlook will still remain a buy. It has a post bonus equity of Rs. 52 crores (US$ 11.5 million approx.) where as it has reserves of over Rs. 4000 crores (US$ 900 million approx.). And steadily rising annual income of over Rs. 1000 crores (US$ 200 million approx.). Plus it has oder book for over 4 years. All these make L&T a buy for me.
