Differenciating Whales from the Fishes
Investing in the Equity Market in a Bull Run definitely looks easy but the real test of perseverance is done in the Bear Phases. While there has been a drastic increase of new investors in post-covid market run due to the bounceback of the market from the earlier dip, investors sometimes tend to incorrectly attribute their success due to the base effect or luck to their investing ‘talent’ and tend to size up further during the peak of the market.
Investing during the dip is actually an excellent strategy but many fail to stay in the market during the next ‘stormy days’ of the market when ‘easy money’ stops coming. Thus staying for long in the market not only takes good analysis skills, some risk-taking but most importantly needs magnificent patience. It is this analysis and patience that differentiates whales from the fishes in this ocean of investment!
