But this is the least of our concerns. We are worried about something bigger, something worse.
A Crash Worse than the Stock Market Crash
Investors’ confidence is crashing multifold!
Market sentiments are influencing investor decisions to a large extent. Investors are shying away from mutual funds, let alone stocks. India’s SIP stoppage ratio has surged to an insane 109%!
Besides, the media, and especially social media, is having its own panic party. Headlines like this are disturbing investors:
Now, what if we tell you that:
- ₹94 lakh Cr. may seem huge, but it's only a 20% drop in the overall market cap.
- If you'd invested in the Nifty 50 for the last 30 years, your portfolio would be down more than 20% on 31% of market days.
Despite this, Nifty has given a decent 11% CAGR returns in the same period– because a correction is just an unrealised loss if you don’t panic sell.
This media influence is a classic case of, in the words of Alejandro Jodorowsky, “Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness.”
And we could not help but address this issue.
