'Handling aviation shares is a tricky business'

November 07, 2006 14:35 IST
PRANAV SANGHAVI says, Good afternoon everyone. Welcome to this week's chat. Let's begin.

gagan asked, hi pranav what is the future of gmr
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Hi Gagan, just today the court has ruled in their favor in regards to the airport issue. So over the next few years they should benefit substantially from the projects. In any case all the infrastructure stocks should do well also.
Ramesh asked, Hi pranav
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Hi Ramesh.
andy asked, Hi Pranav, what is the future of TATA Teleservice? In the long run...
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Hi Andy. Tata Tele has been languishing in a range bound state from quite some time. Unless it is merged with some larger company of the group or some other news comes up on the script, it should continue to remain range bound.
sumantadas asked, will i enter into voltas, ongc, rel. comm at this level?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would wait for the days of correction to enter the stocks as they have run up handsomely in the past few weeks.
Ramesh asked, Hello Pranav What is the future of BHEL,UNITECHand GULF oil
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Hi Ramesh. BHEL being a heavy engineering company shall benefit from the construction and infrastructure development boom and so will Unitech. Gulf should remain a bit choppy depending on the crude prices.
Jitendra asked, what is the upper limit for tata steel.
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, There is no upper limit to a stock. But you could value it based on the P/E ratio. Being a commodity stock a P/E ratio of around 15 should work well. But you must remember they have made an ambitious bid to acquire Corus a much larger company for US$ 12 billion and to merge that in to it's balance sheet will not be an easy task.
hriday asked, Hi pranav
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Hi Hriday.
Amit M asked, hi pranav, where does the mkt seems to be heading to. When is the right time to book profits
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Over the next few years most factors remaining constant, I see the market steadily heading upwards. One should regularly book profits at new highs and if required get in again on corrections.
Hardeep asked, Hi Pranav, i am regularly investing in UTI infrastrucutre thru SIP. What is future of Infrastructure in India
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I don't foresee a problem for that sector atleast for the next 4 to 5 years. There is tremendous demand for real estate development. I just read a report the other day where in it is said that nearly 731 malls are either under development or will go under development in the yeat or two.
Ramesh asked, Hello pranav My massage is reching to u
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Yes it is Ramesh.
Mahesh asked, I have 250 shares of Century Ply @ 210/- should i hold

Ajay asked, Hi Pranav I want to start investing in Share market to earn money. How can i start and from where should i start. WHich things i know before going to invest.Please tell me
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would recommend first to go through the courses offered by the BSE and NSE's training institutes. Then get hold of a broker and seek advice.
PKJ asked, IFCI has shown positive result in the last quarter and has picked up also lately. What is your pick. Also PRAJ Ind at current level is it wise or buy after correction
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, IFCI still maybe has some more momentum left but I would book profits after another 20 to 30%. PRAJ on a longer term should do well. It is always wiser to buy in at a correction.
Ramesh asked, What if the future of jyoti STRUC
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I am sorry, I don't follow that stock.
shantanu asked, what models do you use for securities?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Definately not the ones that walk the ramp. Ok, jokes aside, we use fundamental research more than Fibonacchi or any other models for technical analysis.
Anil asked, Hi Pranav, What is the future of ITC.I am looking for long term prospective.
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would hold. Over the next couple of years it would give you a handsome profit even from current levels.
PKJ asked, RELNAT has also picked up recently. hold or book profit. I plan to invest for long term after correction want to invest in 4 scripts out of following (or others if you have): L&T, RELIND, INFOSYS, WIPRO, SBI, SATYAM, ICICIBANK. Please suggest which 3 should i go for
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would invest into RIL, L&T, SBI and WIPRO or ICICI. As far as RELNAT you could book prifits and invest into other growth stocks and reinvest a couple of years down the line.

PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would look at some other frontline stocks all together.
nirmal asked, Could you tell me more on Reliance Infra & Financial technology .,your views for short term & longterm.
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Financial Technologies is a good bet for long term. FT is the owner of the MCX commodities exchange and plans to come out with an IPO soon. That will really add value to FT. Reliance Infra is witnessing the boom that most of the infrastructure stocks are witnessing.
MAYANK asked, WHAT IS FUTURE OF PENINSULA LAND, I BOUGHT 110 @570/-

siya asked, Hi, what is your view Geojit for longterm?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, They are into the stock broking arena and have been performing well. They have capitulated well on the boom witnessed over the last 3 years in the stock markets. I think they should continue to grow over the next few years.
Shyamk asked, I am totally new to Stock Market and i want to invest money .Can you tell me which is the right time to invest money ?

snt asked, Hi, I am investing in following equity funds through SIP[Magnum Contra Fund (G),HDFC Prudence Fund (G), Sundaram Select Midcap (G)], Can I claim tax exemption on investment like other ELSS funds?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, You will have to check with the MF's offer document or the Fund itself.
eskay asked, Infosys & TCS shows bullish trend but not WIPRO. Why?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Wipro also is a strong player but there is always a dearth of liquidity as very little stock is with the public. I think only around 7 to 9% is with public. I think it will perform well in the future.
Prashantsurana asked, hi what short term targets for the market? What do you thinck about correction or profit booking at this level.
