Now that the Sensex has crossed 12,000, questions were mostly on when it would cross 13,000. Market expert Pranav Sanghavi  was as specific and as quick as usual. Here is the transcript:

PRANAV SANGHAVI says, 
Good afternoon everyone. Let's begin the chat.

vaibhav asked, i have RNRL for rs 23 what is the future prospects of the sctock
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would look at the results over the next few quarters before I make a decision. It is a relatively new company. But I guess on a longer term it should do well.
pcm asked, what is the prospect of ashok leyland. hold or sell.250 ALL at @rs.50
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, You could book profit at Rs. 50 and wait for a dip to get back into the stock, if you so wish.
MAHENDRA asked, WHAT IS THE PROSPECTS OF SIEMENS
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I think it is a strong player in its segment. One could hold.
Animesh asked, Whats the prospect of Arvindmill 100 stocks @ 71.80 should I hold??
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Hold. The textile sector has not matched the performance of the SENSEX. And Arvind Mill is a good performer and has good prospects in the future too.
rohit asked, sir actually i like to ask about the mutual funds is it right time to withdrawl amt or stay & wait for diwali
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, You could wait till Diwali. There could be a correction between now and Diwali but post the September quarter results and closer to Diwali the markets should rise.
VJ asked, how is IOB going to go forward
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, If their NPA issues are resolved one could hold.
Animesh asked, Which are the best tax saving MF to buy??? And how much to invest in it?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Could you please email me the query with further details, so I could revert back with a suitable reply.
po asked, sir, what is the future prospectus for Balrampur chinni mills?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, You could hold on. They are also getting into Ethanol manufacturing which should augment it's income further. It's sugar capacities are also being increased.
Anil asked, How is Tech Mahindra at present 600 odd levels for long term investment?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would hold on. But review it again after a couple of quarters performance.
mohanasundaram asked, what is the prospect of KEC INFRASTRUCTURE
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, KEC is essentially into Transmission towers. Along with the growth of the power sector they too could do well if they keep their costs under control. But do study the scrip carefully before investing.
abhijit asked, I have mahavir spinning mills @ 299.what is the future prospects of the stock? should I hold?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would switch to a frontline textile stock.
lijo asked, Hello..what is ur suggestion on videocon appliances and whirlpool
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I think Videocon Group is in a transformation and growth stage. I would hold on.
ARHESARO asked, I AM HOLDING 650 SBI SHARES...SHOULD I SWITCH OVER TO ICICI BANK.....I ALSO 1200 SIMBHAOLI SUGARS...SHOULD I EXIT ...PLEASE HELP........TKS
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I think you could hold on to SBI. Although ICICI also has good growth potential from current levels. What is your acquisition price of Simbhaoli Sugars? You could book some profits and switch to another sector.
vivek asked, what is the prospects of MRPL
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Good on a longer term basis. But its a refinery stock and its margins will depend on the movement in crude oil prices.
supratic asked, Will the sensex drop even before it touches its last peak? My analysis is that market always drops in march because compamies have to show profit, distribute dividents, etc. Looked logical. The two year before last year was this story. Last year, the triger came little early because of some anouncements.. and some people who invest based on other money got caught.. Well showed some faults is the system. These people are not real investers. Real investers hide behind them and get ZERO loss investment opion as they can sell when it touches red. I hope similar phenomena is not repeated. Market should get correction either a) Market fault b) Year end booking I hope it will not drop before Jan.
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I think the markets look poised to break the previous highs but not without timely corrections. Markets crashing beyond March results is debatable.
amitm asked, what is prospects of Oriental commercial bank
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Oriental Bank is a strong player in the non-private banks. You could hold on.
bharad asked, hi, when do you see sensex touching 13000?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would say when the earnigns justify that level. Basically if the SENSEX stocks are at P/E Multiples of around 14 to 15 and the index is at 13,000 then it is justified. Not if the P/E ratio is 20.
Tyagi asked, sir will u please tell me that every says that there will be slow down in usa economy in comming year and it will contineu up to 5 years what kind of effects it can have on indian market.
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I think just yesterday the Fed Reserve Chairman said the figures were bouyant and there possibly is no slow down in the economy. Also I think the Indian Economy is not only dependent on the USA markets. Our GDP is growing at well over 8.25% and our inflation shall be kept under 5%. This itself will make us among the top 5 fastest growing economies in the world.
deepak7761 asked, I m invested in Grasim, i have purchased 25 shares @ Rs. 2090.00 is it the right time to sell out
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would hold on. The cement sector could out perform the market.
bharad asked, if a correction is expected, till what scales would it drop? 8000 again?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I doubt the SENSEX could breach those levels. A 1000 point correction would be healthy.
YAHOO asked, I have RPL @ 65.what is the future prospects of the stock? should I hold?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I have answered the query in my previous chats please refer. Switch to a growth stock.
Hari asked, Why the sugar stocks are going down.I hold 60 Bajaj Hindustan @351.Should I hold or exit?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Bajaj Hind. is a frontline sugar stock. You could hold on. But do remember it is a Re. 1 paid up stock.
pksaklecha asked, WHAT LEVEL IOC CAN REACH. Please tell your opinion about Arvindmill in kong term
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, IOC is a oil stock and its performance depends on the movements of crude oil prices. As for arvind Mill I have given a reply in this chat itself earlier.
debashis asked, i want to know thet uti welth billder fund g how is that for a new investment
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would need to see it's portfolio of investments. But if it is a large cap diversified fund then one could look at it.
RNRL asked, RNRL and Rana sugars should i hold?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I have answered the query earlier on RNRL. The sugar stocks are moving downwards currently. You could hold on.
manjh asked, I brought astra microw product 1000 shares @235/- what to do.I can hold if I get return.
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I am sorry, I don't follow that stock.
Rajesh asked, Sir, Which do u think are the best stocks..to pick now..with good long term perspective
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, You could look at the frontline stocks in the tech sector, cement sector, engineering and construction sectors, FMCG and banking sectors.
Prakash asked, what is the short term & Long term target of Punj LLoyd?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would stick with a frontline like TISCO or SAIL if I were to invest in steel stocks.

PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, You could book profits and switch to a growth stock.

PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, You could hold on as they have major expansion plans in the future.
ravimittal asked, Hi Pranav, WHat do you think that BSE can reach upto in 2 years span of time. What do you think if IDBI stock in particular
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, If the corporates keep the performance growth as they have over the last 3 to 4 years then markets could breach 15,000 in 2 years. One could look at IDBI. But I would be more comfortable with a frontline banking stock like SBI or ICICI or HDFC Bank.
itri asked, i have aftek infosys shares 100@55.05 now wht to do?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Book profits and switch to a frontline tech stock like TCS, Infosys etc.

binu asked, What is the future of Adani Export Bina
