Hi Shabbir,
It would certainly help me if you can put a tentative price (or price range) at which one should considering entering the listed equities. Sharing my list of stocks :
Cox & Kings
ITC
NHPC
Dish TV
Price is not the aim and if you have the list dips are the best price to get in.
I am not of the believe that 10 times its earnings is cheaper than 12 or even 8
Also Cox and Kings is also my favorite but have not added more after the IPO. I think I should.
Hi Shabbir,
I think you should share your entering level in your stocks so it would be more easier to enter for us. My recent picks are…
Suzlon Energy
Praj Industries
Khalid, I don’t do that because I don’t want people to buy because I suggest them to buy but what I would like to prefer is have them decide what is the best level to get into the stock. That is the whole point because Buy at X and sell at Y without any luck or reason ha no value.
Hi Shabbir,
For intraday trading which stocks will you suggest? Currently I am looking after Hind Copper. Please guide me the better way of trading in Intraday.
I don’t recommend trading for anybody who themselves don’t do it because if you take tips from others to trade I am damn sure you will not be able to enter at levels recommended.
Hi Shabbir

Hi Shabbir,
i had invested Rs.10000 in Lotus India Agile Tax Fund in Dec 2007. However I need to know the latest NAV of this scheme, so when i type scheme name in google it shows references of Religare.
Is Religare and Lotus India one and the same thing or what ?
Hitesh
There is no Lotus Agile Fund in the market and yes Religare looks the same but you can contact the customer support number on your fund statement and confirm on the same. You can even ask for the latest statement and that will be of the name Religare.
Hi Shabbir,
The floor price of REC has been fixed at Rs 203 for retail investors. Does this mean that I as a retail investor will get shares at Rs. 203 only. There is no price range mentioned in NSE’s site (like lower end, higher end & cut-off). Is it worth applying at this price ??
Subal
No there is a price band and 203 is the floor price as you mentioned.
Hi Shabbir,
Im new to stocks, I have planned to invest in stocks.
Im looking for long term investment stocks.
Ive been doing some research and analysis on stocks but require your guidance. Please suggest some of them that I could invest on.
Thanks,
Deepak
Deepak I always suggest stocks for the long term only.
Shabbir,
Dish tv is falling from the last one month, any input on this?
Kena
With the market stocks should fall
hi
which is this the right time to buy bharti airtel shares.
thanx
sandeep
hi
as im new invester pls suggest
which is this the right time to buy bharti airtel shares.
before budget or after budget
thanx
sandeep
I think Bharti is not a stock for good gains for some time to come.
It seems like everywhere I look, there’s another list of which stocks I should buy and which trading system I should use. I’m thinking just forget about individual stocks and trade stock indexes and use this system that even increased the return on the best mutual fund of the decade.
Hi Shabbir,
I want to invest money for my child’s education. I am looking to invest @ 10000 annually and the term is 18 years. I thought of investing in any LIC policies but then the returns are very low. Can u suggest me some good options ?
Hitesh
Hitesh I would suggest you read the following – http://shabbir.in/where-should-i-invest/
Hi Shabbir,
1) How to compare the mutual funds ? Suppose i want to invest in tax saving funds and the nav of one fund is 85 and nav of ohter is 25, so should i invest in the one with the lowest nav as i will get more units
2) Also when i see the performance of funds , it shows returns for annual basis as 103%. does it mean that for every unit i received a year back , the value of that unit is 103 times ?
Hitesh
Hitesh, The Nav value is of no value but the return a fund has given over last few years and why? Also 103% does not mean same as 103 times.
Hi Shabbir
Reference to my previous query ,
if the returns of a fund shows 103% over a period of year, what does it mean in terms of money value ?
If i have invested rs.100, what is the value after a year ?
Hitesh
Approximately 206 Rs.
Shabbir
Thanks for that.
Also i am planning to invest in the “highest nav over 7 years” fund category.Is is a good sceme ?
If yes,Can u suggest me, which fund house should i prefer and also are there any hidden points in such type of schemes ?
Hitesh
No its not a good scheme because its mostly like an FD
Hi Shabbir,
Can you share your views on NMDC FPO, IL&FS transport and Pradeep Overseas ipo ?? Should one apply in any one of them .
Subal
They do not interests me much as of now Subal.
hi shabbir ,

normally bse and nse price doesnt have much difference.but in this case
i see huge difference in these two graph history .why is it so i didnt get answer im confused .im planning for long term .should i hold or quit.
sandeep
That is not the level to be buying for long term even and regarding your query about difference in price see http://shabbir.in/trading-in-arbitrage/
Hello Shabbir,
I bought 1000 MTNL @ Rs.157/-, now it is trading between Rs.70-80/- which is almost half of the my investment price.Please let me know whether to hold it for some time or sell it off or to average it.
Thanks u
Superwiz
Superwiz, you have to take my advice with a pinch of salt. I see you have 3 issues with your investment.
Bought MTNL as a stock when you have large caps in that sector tumbling like anything.
1p/sec is even too much a charge now and so communication as a sector is not for investment anymore.
I do not see a single reason to hold MTNL when the large cap like BHARTI/RCOM are unable to give you returns.
Thanks a lot Shabbir for your advise.I have to digest the loss because of my wrong investment.
Could you please suggest me a good scrip for a long term investment (1-3 years).
Thank u
Superwiz
The 10 above are all good bet for me.
I have excess cash around 5 lacs in saving account. I want to make short term investment (maximum 6 months ) in stock or MF. I am single and 29 years old.Good risk apetite.Any suggestion?
Hi Hitesh,
Lotus Mutual Fund was taken over by Religare Mutual Fund and all the schemes with Lotus were changed to Religare. Thus, Lotus Agile Tax Plan is renamed as Religare Agile Tax Plan. To know more please write to customer.feedback@religare.in.

(1)FRANKLIN TEMPLETON BLUECHIP FUND – GROWTH(Rs2000)
(2)HDFC PRUDENCE FUND – GROWTH PLAN (Rs1000)
(3)BIRLA SUN LIFE FRONTLINE EQUITY FUND – GROWTH(Rs2000)
(4)HDFC TOP 200 FUND – GROWTH PLAN(Rs2000)
(5)RELIANCE REGULAR SAVINGS FUND-EQUITY PLAN-GROWTH OPTION(Rs2000)
(6)RELIANCE REGULAR SAVINGS FUND-HYBRID PLAN-GROWTH OPTION(Rs1000)
Could you just review that my piks are correct or i should change.
I’m 35 yr old and can take risk for high growth funds.
Thanks
Pradipta
You have not gone for the best funds of Reliance and that is Reliance Vision and Growth.
Also I think you should have a midcap fund like a Sundaram BNP Paribas.
Hi Shabbir,
This is first time, I am having conversion with you, I would like to know about the my list of stock, which I picked up after seeing for whole 2 months. Please advise me about the list.

2. Torrent Power
3. Madhucon PRojects.
4. Gujarat NRE Coke
5. Exide
6. Cummins
7. Pantaloon Retail
8. Vadilal Industries.

Syed Moosa, I do not trade in all but some looks really good. What is your horizon.
Hi Shabbir,
The information that you are providing is helping me a lot in understanding the ideas on stocks.
The 10 stocks that you have mentioned is it still worth to buy this month (by July end). Please suggest. Or if you have any other options please let me know.
Thanks,
Pradeep
Pradeep, I have suggested all time good stocks and you can buy them anytime but at what level you are comfortable buying them should be the question. I think in July you should not be buying more as market is not having a direction upward.
Hi Shabbir,
If I start trading now (in Aug ’10), do you think the most of 10 picks mentioned by you still hold good for long term or would you like to suggest some re-shuffling/ alteration on the list?.. I am considering the horizon of 1-3 years.
Thanks and regards,
Sampad
Sampad, The stocks I shared are good for all time but the levels at which you buy in Aug 2010 may not be the right level to be into those stocks.
Hi
Where I can find :
–All time high price of a stock.
–52 week’s high price of a stock.
I read Inelligent Investor last week as you suggested. It is a good book but there is no much about technical analysis. Any good and easy to understand book on technical analysis you have to suggest?
I use Yahoo Finance graph to get them and about the book I also could not find great book about tech analysis and so I am writing myself in free time.
