Bear market phase offers great investment opportunity

Key Points

The share price is like a pendulum which oscillates between overvaluation and undervaluation based on the news flow and market sentiment..

Ask any investor in the market the secret of making money and most will come with 2 tips First of all Buy Low and Sell High and Buy when there is Fear & Panic and Sell when there is Greed & Euphoria in the market..

Thus, irrespective of the market conditions, the stocks I buy are possibly in the midst of a downward move or lying listless..

The euphoria and momentum can take it higher but one needs to learn to be happy with returns which fall decently short of the High and Low.One of the glaring examples is ITC which about 15-18 months back was the butt of all jokes on the investments social media platforms with memes flying around..

When the markets are going through a major correction, it provides numerous opportunities as most of them would be swinging towards undervaluation and its always psychologically easier to buy stocks on the way down than on the way up..
