Economic TimesRisks are of different kinds: The ‘market risk’ and ‘unnecessary self-created anxiety risks’; avoid the la
In a fortnight where smallcaps were the worst performers and large investors are counting on how much losses their smallcap portfolio have incurred. There are still some die-hard small fans who would be looking to invest in small caps and there is nothing wrong in investing in small caps even in mayhem if one is sure of holding it for the next three to five years. The only thing that needs to be ensured is that one should understand that there is a difference between a good business and a bad business even in the small, mid and largecap segments. There is a difference in the absolute value of the stock and the value of the company. There are some businesses that will remain small but are so niche that they will still make wealth for you if you hold them for some time. But if your definition of smallcap stocks is a stock that is quoting at below Rs 20 or an X amount and the reason you want to buy that stock is because you are hoping your money will grow by ten times, then forget small, mid or large, the stock market is not a place where you will make a return, the only thing you will get is unnecessary anxiety.

Economic TimesView: Whatever is true about India’s development, the opposite is also true
When foreign investors say, 'India is impossible to define', what they mean is India is impossible to reconcile. What baffles people living in uniform societies is how we treat what they would consider an insane thing as a normal thing. They can't understand a country where a 1 crore BMW SUV sits calmly in traffic next to a 2-wheeler with two people riding pillion without helmets, one holding a giant glass mirror and the other a goat. Neither of those modes of transport is a definition of the Indian economy's future. Key Points

ThePrintThese midcap stocks with ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos can rally over 30%, according to analysts
On Wednesday, thanks to one stock, Reliance industry, nifty was able to make a comeback. But what is more important is that market breadth, which has been under pressure for most of the sessions for the last three weeks, was in the green territory for most of the time. It is important to keep one eye on market breadth as that would be a more reliable indicator for deciding the strength and possible time frame for which the rally may last. Another thing which one should monitor closely is when the numbers of how much money has flown to mutual funds in the month of March which would get released in early April. This would be an indication of how much impact did AMFI advisory to mutual funds had on ground. Also, this would answer the question, whether this is another short term profit booking move or a beginning of a long phase correction and valuation adjustment.During this phase, analysts are bullish on select stocks from different sectors, some of which are either the leaders of their sector or part of the top three companies which are known to be well managed. ET screener powered by Refinitiv’s Stock Report Plus lists down quality stocks with high upside potential over the next 12 months, having an average recommendation rating of “buy” or strong buy .

WIREDFor moderate risk takers: 5 midcap stocks from different sectors with potential upside of up to 36%
Unlike last quarter of 2023, when nifty and sensex used to witness correction and mid-cap index was able move higher. Since the start of 2024, the mid-cap index is also participating in the correction, clearly indicating that some profit booking is taking place in this segment of the market. Having said that, if one looks at the flow of money to the mutual funds, a good amount of it is still coming in funds which are focussed on mid or small cap. There is no way one can fight 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 that this sector will do well because of ABCD reasons or the company will get such and such orders worth this much. There is enough evidence in history to show that more than anything else, checks and balances are most important at this point of time, while making investment decisions. Key Points

For moderate risk takers: 5 midcap stocks from different sectors with the right financial matrix
In a market in which stocks of companies undergoing bankruptcy are quoting at half billion market cap, finding stocks which have value is probably not something which is an easy thing. It is time when the choice has to be made between fairly priced or overpriced. Given the sentiments, investors are more prone to buying stock first and then looking at what is the business of the company, that too is done by very few. It is exactly the time and sentiment when it becomes extremely important to go back to the basic principle of investing. Put more checks and balances before you buy the stock and the reason for buying that stock at that point of time. So as you stay bullish, be selective. Key Points

WIREDFor calibrating and diversifying risks? 6 midcap stocks from different sectors with the right financial ma
As the Dalal street continues to be in party mode, staying bullish would appear to be the most logical thing at this point of time. Why fight against a trend, while staying bullish, just add an element of caution. When we use the word caution, we mean stay with quality and especially if one is increasing exposure at this point of time. There is enough evidence to show that owning quality stocks pays both in bullish and bearish markets conditions. In a bullish market, they tend to rise faster and when a bearish phase comes, they do lose weight like others but less as compared and have shown tendency to recover fast post a bearish phase. so stay bullish but be selective.

One of the reasons why looking only at Price earning (PE) ratio leads to wrong decisions is that by the time PE gets adjusted to newly announced earnings per share (EPS), it is too late.

Coming on the list is an Adani group company, which even skeptics say is probably best placed in its sector. Key Points
