Things to do when Market falls:

  • Time to stay calm. Relax and keep stress levels low.
  • Dont shy away from investing in MF an Shares. I know its painful. Whether we like it or not, markets will be volatile. We need to overcome these volatality to generate returns. Volatalities are Opportunities to Invest. Grab them. Fortune favours the Brave.
  • Remain focused on your portfolio.
  • Check your bank balance and transfer funds.
  • Top up in those shares / Mfs which are convingcly good. Keep investing in small quantum. No one knows the bottom. Dont invest all your money at one shot. Discipline works good in every aspects of life, including investing.
  • Ongoing Market fall is due to Global Contagion from USA. Every countries stock market is falling. Little to do with Indian economy or Budget.
  • When price falls, PE Ratio becomes cheap - making these stocks attractive again.

Market falls when everyone is selling / trying to sell. As a result of this stamped, market crashes. After sustained selling,  say the stock price falls by 50%, and the company is a good company, it makes little sense to continue selling at such low price. Hence selling pressure recedes and the stock price starts bottoming out. Due to its attractive valuation, buying interest starts emerging and the price starts inching forward. Hence holding on to good companies / MFs and adding funds at lower levels can be rewarding, provided you are willing to invest time along with money.

Since 2014, we got little opportunity to invest. Now is the time. Stay calm. Stay focused. Keep investing. Consistency matters.
