Imp Question- Is correction over??
Answer is plain NO. It will be wrong to assume that worst is over. Despite a 20% correction in mid cap and small cap, valuations are still high.
This market correction was not due to any negative event or concern, it was purely due to over valuation of market and stocks.
Market did move up into consolidation zone but it no way means, it won’t come down. Their are chances of “Two up and One down theory” As the markets recovers, which investors should be wary off.
Individual stocks tracking of high value stocks is key to emergence out of this volatility.
Sell your over valued stocks and just don’t sit on them because you bought at very high price. Sell and look for new opportunities which market is giving in numerous other stocks and recover your money!!
The key to Positivity and earning lies now through Large Cap and High value midcap stocks. Those who avail this will succeed!!
Gold/Silver
Amidst rising prices of Gold, retail Gold sales has fallen upto 25% as compared to same period in last year. And with the upcoming marriage season which starts from 01 Apr to 15 July, this becomes cause of worry for Jewellers.
As markets rose, Gold also joined the rally and was trading at its highest value of 91500.
Silver is also now catching momentum with Gold and was trading above 104200 levels.
Finally, a advise for all investors to look for Good value stocks for investment. All the analysts, financial news etc are s highlighting this fact since last few days… The stocks which showed consistent performance in last at least 4 qtrs, with good fundamental , good PE and high valuation in Large cap sector is key to ur Emergence!!! And even now if you look upto small caps and fast money making opportunity, their are high chance, you may miss the bus!!
