Are you cooked or did you not research enough?

Been seeing a lot of posts like “Am I cooked?” or “Should I book my losses?”. This correction isn’t the end of the world. Let’s talk. First off, every stock needs time. \- Take **RIL. A**fter 2008, it took 7 years to hit its ATH again. Imagine holding through all that, but those who did made bank. **- ITC** is another one. It stayed stuck in the 200-300 range for nearly a decade (2013-2020) and only broke its ATH in 2023. Now everyone’s saying "Invest in ITC," but what about those who stuck with it through the boring years? \- **CDSL** is another perfect example. It was ₹130 in 2017, ₹250 in 2021, and hit ₹1000 by 2024. Just think about those who stuck through the stagnant and bear markets. Secondly, markets aren’t linear. Corrections are part of the game. The post-COVID bull run was crazy fast. Now it’s cooling down, which is healthy. Bulls don’t run forever. And about FIIs. Yeah, they’re selling, and it’s making headlines. But that’s not the whole story. DIIs and retail investors are still holding things steady. Lastly: **If you’ve researched the company, checked out its future plans & fundaments and looked at its 5-10 year charts, why would you sell just because the market is correcting?** **If you’re doubting now, it means you didn’t do your research. Good stocks take time, and the market rewards those who hold on.** Hope this helps!
