With the current turmoil in the equity markets worldwide, what is going to be your strategy?

I think the best strategy is to stick with your current investment strategy. If you try to adapt it to current market conditions, then you will loose more money and experience many troubles. This is because now market conditions change in a wild pace, almost every day. You seem to adapt it to today's market and when tomorrow's one comes up with its new positions, you will need to change it again and again. So, you may spend a lot of money only on adapting your strategy. That is why I think the best choice in any turmoil is to be calm and stick to your current strategy.

Use Technical Analysis as a tool for identifying unfriendly stock market environments and moving to cash as a result. If you are looking to develop a serious, objective based roadmap for navigating the markets with technical analysis, It will be good if you practically start using them.

This will be a defensive approach, but will help you reduce losses. In this case you can plan well and go ahead with smart investment.

I had indicated just 45 days before that you can anticipate Sensex to reach 16000.  It is in 14000 bracket.  My reasoning was "Where will world money go?"  "An Indian should first invest in India and profit when world money comes into India"  What was happening all along was that the world makes money in India but not Indians....

At least now, it is not too late.  But invest after sound appraisal techniques.  Yet another uncommon idea I had circulated earlier on toostep : Lot of young ministers will join cabinet now.  Invest in listed companies under their ministries and a positive outlook is expected in such companies

I feel there is huge potential for Indian markets to grow gradually from here. I am telling this based on our economic growth and the upcoming global cues. However, seeing our domestic growth henceforth, one should stick to most of the stocks whose most of the growth is dependent on the domestic fundamentals and not on global cues (feel most prefered way to be safer) . Therefore, hereafter those who invest in selected sectors and stocks only, will find markets better and safer. However, the long term investors need not worry and should always buy on regular dips and form a well defensive portfolio.....Thank you, Manish N.
