Dear Sir,
I hold 30 shares of infosys bought at 1650. The stock price has reached 1850 today. Would it be right to sell the stock at current levels or is there more potential?
Kindly advice

Rajesh, Thanks for the IPO update. Can you recommand some Infrastructure companies in the secondary Market.
Thanks again.

Hi KK
Good to see you on message board after a long time. It all depends on your investing goals. Infosys is the best pick in Tech sector and I would suggest that you hold on to the stock for long term.
Hi kavita
This is the hot sector and many companies are attracting investor attention. However, I would advice you to stick to prominent players like L&T,Punj Lloyd and Nagarjuna Construction. specially pinj lloyd's valuation look attractive from long term perspective. Mid cap players like Unity infra, PBA infra can be considered for trading.

Dear Rajesh Ji,
I am a newcomer on this blog and I came to know of this blog from google search. I am from engineering background.. and invest a little in share market though I have lost money in Reliance petroleum. I have bought 200 shares @ 80 and currently incurring a loss of Rs. 3000 :(
I am sure you would help me in getting out of this trouble.

WATCH OUT FOR 200 POINTS RALLY IN THIS WEEK...
Dear Anonymous,
I am not sure of your risk profile. You may want to consult a financial planner to determine your investor profile. If you want a general guidance, I would recommend that you invest in stocks such as Infosys, reliance Industries, Punj Lloyd, Gujarat Ambuja, PNB etc.
Hi Manish
Yes, Markets are ex[ected to correct in the month of september. However, it would be a voltile move this month with a pause after each correction. So be careful and as I always say dont put your profits on the table, keep booking profits in such markets to avois disappointment unloless you have a strict long term view of the markets.
Hi Anil
Aksh looks attractive at current levels. You can take position with medium term outlook (3-4 months)
Hi Asif
You can conatct me at investmentguru@sify.com
Hi Priya
I would suggest that you exit Rel. Petroleum and enter into Reliance industry. Reliance industry holds 65% stake in rel. petro, so you automatically get benefit of any positive development in Reliance Petro stock plus the added benefits of Relianc Industries developments.
Hi Rajesh ji
Thanks for your reply...You replies display your deep understanding of the stock market.
Hats off to you ! ...I am keeping a close watch on the blog for your insightful articles
Thanks again

Can I buy Punj Lloyd at current levels?
Prasad
Hi Prasad
Yes, From a long term perspective Punj Lloyd looks attractive.
Hi rajesh,
I lost a good amount of money in the markets crash that happened some time back.
After that i have been on a cautious note and have again lost a lot of money.
Off lately there is a surge in interest in stocks like air deccan and jet airways,can you throw some light over the reasons for it.
Best Regards,
abhay.
Hi abhay
It's really sad to see people loosing money. I don't say that one can consistently manage to make profits in stock markets . but by careful study and discipline one can generate profits instead of ending up in losses. Don't buy on rumors. Invest only in fundamentally string stocks unless you know the company very well and understand their business.
I would suggest that you should remain away from airline stocks as the overall outlook for aviation sector is not good. Currently we are witnessing speculative buying in these stocks. This sector is marked by intense competition and high operating cost which would take a toll on these companies.
where is sensex heading guys ???
