Q: Any thoughts on Mahindra Automotive steel, a forging company that has got real estate this morning?

A: I don't track that closely.

Q: What is your top picks in cement midcaps and how are you positioning yourself in that space now?

A: It had a sharp run, so you have to take that as a caveat. But I think many of them still offer reasonable value in terms of one-year horizon. From Kesoram , Birla Corp , India Cement , Mangalam to some extent, Dalmia , you will expect to see a volume and price led growth coming in. That's probably still a safe sector to be holding on to.

Q: Do you track the gems and jewellery space, there is a good move in many of them, Su-Raj , Gitanjali and something smaller like a Classic diamond ?

A: Not really, other than Titan I don't think we have looked at any other one.

Q: There clearly has been some kind of recovery in sentiment in the metal space, ferrous and non-ferrous. Would you stay away or do you think things are changing there?

A: They change by the week. There is no doubt that a positive sentiment is now emerging. Again on a relative basis, they are cheap stocks, but as the index goes up, many of these will continue to go up.

So you could buy a Sterlite , Hindalco or Tata Steel or SAIL . At least you can exit it when you want to change your view.

Disclosures:

We would have positions in cement, Reliance and some of the metal companies.
