Ved parkash: Kindly advise me on the following queries:
1. Out of HDFC and HDFC bank, which share is more attractive to hold for long-term? Both have different business lines and are good for long-term.
2. Which are 2-3 shares, which are best in the price range of about Rs.1500 for long-term? L&T, Coromandel International, Bajaj Auto, IFB Industries; etc.
I have 60 shares of RIL; 50 shares of ICICI bank and 25 shares of HDFC. -- You may continue to hold the shares for long-term.
Ajit Mishra: Though, easing tensions between US & China along with Boris Johnson’s win in Britain could be seen as positive factor in near term that could keep a lid on prices on higher side. However, things are not likely to settle in a hurry as there is no clarity on trade deal terms and documentation.
With upcoming US elections, volatility would remain high. Also, Brexit is still on its way and even after it gets over, new trade deal between EU and Britain would grab attention. With economic & geopolitical concerns, rupee weakness and political uncertainty, gold is likely to be favourable bet as safe haven asset.
