Bull vs bear: Vijay Kedia on when retail investors should look at snapping up stocks

Speaking on current stock market fall, especially on Friday last week, Vijay Kedia said, “When there is fear there is opportunity because short term crisis provides big time opportunity to long term investors as they get quality stocks at lower levels. It’s like discounted shopping where you try to buy an stuff of your choice that are available at cheaper rates.”

Bull vs bear: Who would win?

The founder of Kedia Securities went on to add that no one has made money from the bull market. It’s a bear market that gives you an opportunity to do quality stock shopping at discounted levels. He advised stock market investors to take position in cash segment if one’s risk appetite is low.

Asking stock market investors to befriend with a bear market, Vijay Kedia recently tweeted, “A bull market creates many self-acclaimed genius or stock pickers but in reality a real stock market genius are born in a bear market because that is the time you learn the most from your mistakes and introspect what you are doing.”

Vijay Kedia recommendations

Asked about the segments where one can look at for quality stocks at discounted levels, Vijay Kedia said, “In current market scenario, stocks from mid-sized banks, capital goods and telecom segment is expected to outperform other sectors and stock investors with long term perspective can look at the stocks in these sectors.”

On Friday, Indian stocks witnessed heavy sell-off as Nifty 50 index lost to the tune of 350 points whereas BSE Sensex crashed around 1,100 points in single session.
