Edited excerpts from the conversation:
Niket Desai: I bought shares of Blue Dart Express at Rs 5,900 apiece. I have incurred a loss of Rs 1.5 lakh. With a long-term perspective, what should I do?
Gaurang Shah: I would advice one to stay in the stock only if they have a time horizon of two-three years. One can average 25-30 percent shares at the current level.
Jitendra Kumar: I need a two-three year view on Edelweiss and Sirca Paints. Can I buy at current levels?
Gaurang Shah: I would suggest one to invest in Asian Paints, instead. It is a better stock and is rallying.
Sameet Chavan: I generally do not recommend Edelweiss. But at the current level, it looks good. One may invest.
Srinivas Rao: I would like a three-year view on SpiceJet and Aurobindo Pharma. Should I enter at the current level?

Gopi Gopal: With outset of sales figures for July, what is the prospect for Ashok Leyland for August? I bought it at Rs 5.5 apiece premium.
Sameet Chavan: I would recommend one to hold on to the stock. If it clocks Rs 120, one can sell.
Alex: What is your view on Tata Motors?
Gaurang Shah: I would recommend one to invest in the stock at the current level with a two-three year perspective. One can average at the current level, depending on the price at which they entered the stock.
Saurabh Pathak: I need a view on Bharat Electronics. I own 20,000 shares in the company at Rs 135 apiece with a long-term perspective. Should I hold, sell or average?
Sameet Chavan: I would recommend one to hold on to the stock and keep a stop-loss of Rs 105.
Bhabani Shankar: With a one-two year time horizon, which is the best stock to enter among Ashok Leyland, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Reliance Industries, Nestle India and Muthoot Capital? I can invest up to Rs 50,000.
Gaurang Shah: With the investment amount mentioned, I would suggest one to invest in either Kotak Mahindra Bank or Ashok Leyland.

Shivani Dhanuka: I have bought DHFL at Rs 602 apiece. Should I average, sell or hold?
Sameet Chavan: I would suggest one to keep a stop-loss of Rs 581. Once the stock surpasses Rs 630, it could ascertain the near-term strength and then one can average.
Rangarajan: With a six-month perspective, which stock is a great investment?
