Hindustan Timesstay bullish but just be more selective: 5 midcap stocks from different sectors with potential upside of u
If one goes by what is happening on the street today, we probably are once again going back to a situation where mid-caps are charting their own journey and bulls are backing it. While the valuations are expensive, there is no point in fighting with liquidity, if it is going to mid caps and they are moving up irrespective of valuations or quality of stocks one cannot argue. But the only thing which as an investor one can do is to be careful when taking exposure to this segment of the market. stay away from stocks where there is a narrative of stocks doing well that are not backed by fundamentals and track record. If the market stays like this, very soon once again there will be no dearth of tips floating in whatsapp groups and telegram channels. But there is enough evidence in history to show that finally it is earnings and valuations which decide what would be the price of stock price and clues about earnings come from just two things, sector and the management. So, focus on the sector and the quality and ability of management. Key Points

stay with companies with some tailwinds: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside scope of up
When it comes to volatility, there are four things that one needs to take into account. First, the magnitude of volatility, frequency of volatile movement, sectors that are leading it, and overall market breadth during a volatile phase. If one takes all of these into account, the nifty has been able to inch upward but the fact that market breadth is still not clear is the hurdle rate. There is a high probability that we might see more of it in the coming weeks. So, it would be better to stay prepared for volatility. One of the ways for that would be to stay with large caps, this does not mean they will not face the heat, but over the medium to long term they would be the first ones to bounce back and if one looks at what has happened in last two trading session, it is the largecap which is leading the rally. So, in times of volatility which has come due to valuation readjustment, it would be better to stick with large caps and that too companies where there are some tailwinds of either policy or restructuring of the company.
