  1. .What about investing in a portfolio of low- cost index funds, 60/40 stock /bond ratio for the long term”? As markets are very efficient and it is very difficult to beat the market consistently for the long term.

  2. Sir can you provide analysis about GSK consumer and health care and one question I am holding HDFC, should I move form HDFC to kotak bank?

    1. You can hold GSK Consumer, brokers recommending for target price of around Rs 6,200. Even HDFC is recommended by many brokers now for target price of Rs 1,350. You can hold them
