The Most Annoying Market Fall in a Decade

This has been the most annoying fall in the last 9-10 years. Even during COVID, the market downturn lasted only 42 days, and we saw the fastest recovery. At least then, investors had signs that the market was recovering. After the continuous fall, there were clear indications of a rebound and doubled their investments. But now, there are no signs of recovery. We're just sitting here hoping for the budget and relying on support levels that the big investors who are pulling out their money don't even care about. Don't ever listen to finfluencers they don’t care how the market moves because they benefit in all market conditions from us, We only get a few bullish candles, only for the market to dump prices again. It feels like slow poison for our portfolios over the past 3-4 months I think it's time for people to reconsider their SIPs and consider shifting their money to stronger economies. Keeping your investment on hold is fine but don't put all your bets on one economy it’s too risky. At least the S&P 500 offers better returns compared to this market, where the most of the time is entirely dependent on FIIs perceptions Don't waste your money when there's no clear path to recovery. Even when earnings are normal, people find excuses to justify the fall. It's likely the market will continue to fall but not in a direct, steep decline like in previous years. Instead, it will lure investors with small upmoves only to fall back again. My advice is to stop investing here for now, or at least control the flow of your hard earned money into this market I know converting money to other currencies does come with taxation costs and will cut our returns, but as retailers we have limited options. If this market wanted to recover, it would have done so by now. There’s no rational reason for this fall just irrational views from FIIs. DIIs alone can't support an upward move. FIIs hold a huge portion of the market and without their confidence recovery is unlikely Don't wait for the budget it’s pointless to pin hopes on it. The upcoming quarter's earnings can bring more pain. Stop the flow, don't get lured by small upmoves and focus on balancing your investments across stronger economies. Just my two cents.
