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


Sunil asked, Hi Pranav. A recent CLSA survey (unpublished) expects markets to touch 40000 mark in the coming 6-7 years. Whats your take on this? Do you think it is possible?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, If the corporates keep performing as they are and no major external factors affect the markets, yes it could touch that figure. But a singular rise without corrections is not healthy.


navjot asked, Will the market touch 13000 mark this month
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, The markets will rally for the the Diwali and September quarter results. But the results won't justify a 13,000 mark according to me.


SACHI asked, GOOD MORNING Tell me the prospect of GTL in near future.
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Good afternoon. I would not delve into that stock. I much prefer a frontline like Bharti Tele.


kin asked, wat do u say about dcb ipo...at wat price will it open according to you on day 1...n wat do you feel bout its future?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I would need to go through the company's prospectus to give you an accurate reply. Do email me your query for me to revert back.


kyne asked, hi can u tell me if relcap will continue its upward march
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Reliance Capital has ambitious plans for the future. Plus they have made a lot of disparate investments which should yeild returns in the future. If the profits keep rising, it could continue.


SACHI asked, Is this time for book profit or hold for some time.
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Well the small correction did come over the past couple of days. But theres been heavy selling by the FII's in all th esegments. So, I would be cautious.


vinita asked, hi pranav...wht r ur views on petronet lng?shud we enter at this stage?

PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, There are a lot of them around. IDFC, MTNL, Syndicate Bank, Midday Multimedia, Praj Industries and many more.


kin asked, wat do you say about gold prices?and how do you see them say 6-8 months from now?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Gold demand from India and China over the next couple of years could increase gradually. I see the prices rising steadily.


sid asked, I am holding Tech Mahindra stock at 605 per share. What is the prospect of this stock over long run?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I think it is a fundamentally strong stock and you could hold on. Currently it is hovering at Rs. 620 levels.


tabassum asked, hi pranav you are good looking
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Hi, I much rather discuss stock related queries, thank you.


guru asked, Hi Pranav, Greetings for the day! Please let me know whether it's yet safe to trade in derivatives in Indian markets considering that no long term positions could be taken as of now.
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Hi Guru. Same to you. Yes derivatives as an instrument can yeild better returns than equity if you invest carefully. As a thumb rule, the derivative volumes are more than 4 times that of equity volumes in most developed markets.


Prakash asked, Where the market is heading for from current levels. WIll it sustain at this level keeping the economic growth in the progress
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, I am pretty bullish on our markets and our economy. I don't forsee a problem with either of them performing over the next 4 to 5 years atlest.


guru asked, Pranav, where would you speculate the market in lon term, say after 3-5 years? Would it cross much over 20K or would be a pendulam between 15K-18K?

PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, It is on a buyers circuit today, I guess you could hold for a short time.


Gaurav asked, Pranav.....wht abt the prospectus of Hind Zinc........medium(6 months) to long term......may be 3 years or so
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Although it is a metal stock and its price movements will be ruled by movements in the metal indices world over, I think Hind Zinc is a good bet for a 3 year period.


umesh asked, Good Morning Sir, our market is skyrocketing nowadays & achieve a new milestone. Will this momentum is going on? Is this is the right time to buy a share or hold for some time

PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, BPCL's margins will depend on movements in the crude oil prices. As the crude prices were moving downwards the stock moved up.
