Thukral's view on United Spirit

Thukral told CNBC-TV18, "In United Spirits you have seen a lot of open interest being built up and the cost has moved up, so clearly some speculative interest, some long positions have been built up. It’s a very short term trading opportunity because we are looking at a target of only Rs 20-25 on it, so around Rs 676 which is yesterday’s closing price, if you can go long with a target of Rs 698-699 on it but keep a very tight stop loss around that Rs 665-664 mark so that’s a small stop loss and a small target but this for very short term, say one or two trading days only."
