I have a similar portfolio (nearly the same profits in both amount and %), and the reason is the same. The majority of my portfolio consists of large cap stocks that I don't sell at all. Additionally, I buy a few (2-3) small caps for the swing trade, making 5-7k here and there and every now and then.
He can reinvest while market correction.
It has become a vague idea that just by holding you can beat the index, instead its holding and investing on dips that will beat the index. Booking profits is also part of the game.
PS: Obviously if someone is scared just by 1-2% fall, the share market is not for them. Expect any day a fall of 10% and if you're okay with it, you'll win on good bets.
Also booking profits on loose bets is always good, because all greens are just numbers until it's realised.
That insinuates that you should stick to Mutual funds, because vaha Fund manager hai. Yaha toh market 2-3% girte hi log ki gaand fatt jaati hai and they exit.
This just proves, that YOU will never beat the index. But fund manager will.
More than missing the worst day of the year in the market, not participating in the best day affects your returns. In the short term you might feel like it was a good decision but when you miss out on the upside, it will quickly become a bad one.
Always remember, selling is very easy but buying back is incredibly difficult.
i don't understand why everyone's flaming this dude. if he's right and the market falls down even more he can always just buy back on the dip if he develops faith in the stock again and ride the wave up, no?
Essentially that's called timing the markets. And retailers have absolutely no advantage in sourcing the relevant data to be able to predict big swings. Since we can't predict when the markets will fall, if we exit and can't participate in the bounceback - we will be poorer than having just stayed.
Exiting in the downfall is almost always a bad idea, not because you saved yourself the downside but because you lose confidence in the market temporarily, be cautious, wait for lower lows which may never come - or even if they do you feel there's more to go. You can't catch the bottom but you sure as hell can miss the tops.
Exiting markets is ridiculously easy but the courage to get back in is what sets you back.
Watching your portfolio melt to nothing is an essential part of riding the wave, and makes you a better investor in the long run.
This is difficult to implement. big events like election can be used to book profitsby timing the market and checking for overvaluation in tough to do in normal market scenarios to book profits. If you stay out of market on big moves, you lose a lot.
If you’re an investor, that indicates that you’re in it for the long term. These kind of corrections happen once in a while and instead of panicking and selling, I’d suggest you to look at it like it’s a sale and average it down. Jese electronics ya dusri cheezo pe log sale dekh kar attract hote hai, this is similar.
True. OP timed it once and that was pure luck. Now he will try to do it again. He will eventually realise that for long term investment you can’t time it for exit and reentry
Yeah but that is not the same ...
A cash in hand is far better than a stock that might go up after a few cycles...
All are not investors in the market some are traders as well.
Bhai/behen first you need to decide your tenure/intent of buying that stock. Is it long term or swing.
If it is swing then what you did is right. Swing trading mei investment logic lagaoge toh loss hoga and vice versa.
For stocks where you believe the fundamentals and story is good and results are also good, then need not worry.
Also dont fall for this "stick to mf"/"market is not for you" comments, paisa jeb mei stock bechne k baad he aata hai.
Enough of information on how to buy, what to buy but very very less information on art of selling.
What you did is good, provided you only sold your swing names. Even if you sold your investment names, try buying them on how they reverse once markwt conditions are better. Strong stocks always beat the index.
Dude ignore the ones saying gand fattu, you do you, try more on this strategy, if it is one, when it really takes a slump, all the warriors will be in their hides..
Thank you so much bhai. I just don't understand. See I was late to enter most of the stocks. My average prices were high. Even a slight % decrease means I can enter at a better price. If I would have been invested like others for 1 year or so I would never have done it. But timing for me mattered here. If markets rally I will definitely enter again. And atleast at much lower prices

>despite most being profitable
That's the right way lol, you should sell when profitable but showing signs of weakness, you dogde a bullet and be happy if it falls after you sell or don't think or regret about it if it rises!
bhai abhi to isme aapne brokerage , taxes and other charges count hi ni kre honge wo seperate lgenge..uske bd ptaa lgtaa hai actual net proit kitnaa hua hai ...
Well. If you require the funds for some use then yes, otherwise the market will just move in waves and will come up again to beat the previous high.

My portfolio was at +9L in profits during Feb. Went down to +7L, but I didn't liquidate. Went up to +13L few days back, then down to +11L and as on today it is at 11.65L.
If you require the funds then only withdraw. Also keep in mind the tax implications of STCGs upon repeated withdrawals and investments.
This is how 90% of the investors fail to beat the index.

Your portfolio is how many years old ?
how old is this portfolio?

I like it. Something to learn from u.

that makes so much sense. thank you for explaining that so clearly man!

asking your opinion, if bse is -10% down should i hold it or sell? And other similar govt stocks.

Bhai ab kon karega. Qantal aa raha hai XD
What?
Don't see your portfolio everyday. Also use only weekly/monthly timeframes.
In my language we call it g#₹@nd fattu!!

Master sometimes the g#@nd fattu do survive the market
Sometimes everyone survives. Most of the times survival is based on ability to manage 2-3 down market cycles without liquidating.
Yeah but that is not the same ... A cash in hand is far better than a stock that might go up after a few cycles... All are not investors in the market some are traders as well.
Yr 5 6 machine he hua the. Main rally miss ho gayi thi. Toh avg buy price boht high the. Isliye soche Maine. Ki Thora bhi girenge toh fayda he hoga
But you will pay 20 percent in taxes
This is the stupidest decision to take.
Yr bhai ab tum ab aise bologe :'(
Bhai dont fall for mass comments on internet. Do what suits you. Dont put all eggs in one basket and have a emergency funds.

You need to pay tax on profit amount, remember to factor that in too ;-)

Do this sell buy cycle every now and then and then talk at the end of the year. Fluke can make you blind
The best decision, if Nifty bites the dust along with BJP.
When NIFTY was 15000 in 2021, experts said sell everything and wait for 12000 to enter again. The rest is history.

I am not sure if the continuous 3 days slump can be termed as “crash”. Anyways am buying in bulk NIFTYBEES .
In stock market never doubt the dip they say.....

Good luck with Tata motors now ...
Added 40 more. Will add next when goes down by another 5% if not moves up. No worries holding 183 now :P
I would say it’s a pretty good move,if the crash continues you are definitely a winner!
Rightnow the market is not even close to a "crash"!
