Taking, understanding, managing and risks becoming reality are 4 different things: Check 5 things before m

On a day when 99 of the 100 stocks in the small cap index are trading with big cuts. All sectoral indices are trading with big cuts, market breadth is extremely poor, there are many reasons which are and will be put on the table to explain why the fall has taken place. There is a high probability one of the explanations which would be put on the table today is the stress test of small and midcap schemes and how flows to them could be impacted. But should the result matter to you ? No if you are not holding any small fund scheme. Instead of bothering about what will come out over the weekend, just focus on two things, especially those who have turned bulls in the last few months. First nifty or for that matter any indices has nothing to do with your portfolio, so stop comparing it. Second, do a review of your portfolio and ask yourself one simple question: why did I buy this particular stock? Was it friendly neighborhood advice or was it because there was something positive happening in the company or the industry in which this stock belongs ? The answer to this question is the key whether one should stay invested or sell the stock. Key Points

For a volatile market: 6 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 33%

When it comes to volatility, there are 3 things that one needs to take into account. Magnitude of volatility, frequency of volatile movement, and third which are the sectors leading it and overall market breadth during a volatile phase. If one looks at these three things then it is very clear that while some might be feeling volatility has come in just the last two trading sessions, the fact is that markets have been volatile since the start of 2024. 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 largecaps, and especially the ones showing a streak of outperformance at a time when others have been under pressure. Another reason valuations are high in large part of the mid and small caps and they are the ones that might lose more weight if the markets stay under pressure due to profit booking. Also if there is any further development on the SEBI advisory to mutual funds, the unintended beneficiary would be largecap stocks. Key Points

For moderate risk takers: 5 midcap stocks from different sectors with potential upside of up to 29%

For all those investors whose portfolio is titled in favour of the mid-caps need to do two things in current market conditions. First, don't extrapolate what has happened in the last one quarter to the mid caps stocks. Second, which is more important, be careful when taking fresh exposure to this segment of the market and apply checks and balances when investing and even after that be ready for some drawdown in the value of the stocks. How does one put checks and balances? Simple, have a look at fundamentals and it is not very tough, having a look at some of the critical ratios like ROE and ROCE would help in avoiding silly mistakes which are common in bullish markets.
