Vandana Ghule: Can you tell me which shares to buy short term as well as long term?

I am new to this. And what is your thought about cryptocurrencies?

Ajit Mishra: For short-term, one can look for Tata Power, Axis Bank, Ashokley and Bhartiartl.

For long term, you can invest in stocks such as Kajaria Ceramics, Berger paints, Metropolis, M&M, Ashok Leyland, Britannia, V-guard, Polycab, Biocon and Birlasoft.

We do not track crypto-currencies so can't comment.

Shreesh Onkar: Can you please clarify my below queries?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Is it a good option to buy Yes Bank currently (at Rs 13 per share) as a long-term investment?

Will it increase in the future?

Ajit Mishra: We would recommend you prefer major private banking names like ICICI, Kotak and HDFC Bank instead of Yes Bank for fresh investment.

 

What do you suggest on the upcoming allotment of QuadPro IPO?

Is it a good option to buy this stock, if not allotted (at Rs. 20 per share)?

Will this be a good long-term prospect?

Ajit Mishra: It's a SME IPO. We don't track SME space so can't comment.

 

Umashankar: I bought 2,000 shares of Unitech Ltd at Rs. 9.45 per share a long ago.

Should I wait for it to reach that level to sell or should I sell it now?

Ajit Mishra: Exit the stock

 

Sandeep Aich: Kindly review and advise me on my portfolio.

All the shares are purchased with a horizon of 2 Years from now.
