Anirudh Sethi: This is the right time to accumulate stocks

The world outside is nothing like we have experienced before. Just a few months ago, the markets were trading at all-time highs. The black swan named Coronavirus came out of nowhere and spoiled the bull party. The word social distancing was unheard of until the virus emerged. The impact of the virus grew larger with each passing day, swallowing the growth made by economies in the past decade. What should I do as an investor – that is a question I hear a lot these days, says Anirudh Sethi, Founder of Financial Occultist.

Investors have to bear the brunt as markets began a long slither downhill that made even the most experienced investors unnerved. In a storm the valuations have been tossed like a paper. The companies had come to a standstill. The thick clouds of uncertainty shrouded the global economy.

Investors need to remember that a bull market can last for ten years, but bear markets have short shelf-life. Historically, even the worst bear market didn't last longer than 300 days. Uncertainty and commitment share an eternal bond of friendship, remember, the best things come from suffering. Be systematic, digest the volatility and invest with a time frame of 2-4 years.

Anirudh Sethi has been involved in the Stock Market since 1992. He received a PhD in Human Psychology. After a 5-year study, his first market forecasting steps were put forth in 1992, by predicting Stock Market movements in India.

After his work got recognized in the early 90s, he gave weekly forecast for Indian Stock Markets in the renowned Indian Business Daily, Business Standard, every Monday, from 1997 to 2001.
