Stock Market Updates | kushbohra.com's Kush Bohra's view on HCL Tech 
"Lot of stocks are rebounding, and this could perhaps be one of the leaders in the pack. And why would you want to sell a winning bet, right. So hold on. So Rs 1,200 is the target, if at all, he wants to place a stop loss, it will be a lovely trailing stop loss at Rs 975. Even if the stock falls to those levels the investor will still exist in a profit. But I don't see the probability of that happening in the near future. So very clear hold on to the stock Rs 1,200 is where we look at the stock moving to."
