Sharing my experiences of previous market crashes of 1992/2000/2008
1. Though it may seem impossible , markets do make a bottom somewhere 😄
2. Some stocks will go to the dogs or get delisted . Not all will survive
3. The next bull cycle , whenever it comes will be lead by totally new sector/group of stocks . The market leaders of this run with astronomical valuations take on a average of 10-12 years to go back to those same prices
4. DO NOT try to buy beaten down small caps/midcaps
5. Watch the Nifty PE ratio. Historically Nifty bottoms out below 12 PE . DO NOT follow complex/arbit/innovative interpretation of PE. Stick to basics : below 12PE is good
6 . If investing , invest in tranches of say 20% . Be ready to take another 20% say 15% below current price
7. Stay diversified . Minimum of 10 stocks of different sectors . Variance will keep you alive in volatility
8. The markets will turn much before fundamentals turn. Hence use technicals , fundamentals will be too late
9. Do not use loan or emergency money to buy stocks . Use only money you can afford not to use for next 10 years
10. There is no hurry , take your time to be comfortable . Let the markets first form a base .

Nandy sir ek baat batayie , I am newbie investor, majority experts/retailers already predicting 7800 was the bottom. Now I thinke, when retailers scream , there cannot be any bottom for stock market, bottom is formed. May be from inside you also know this ;)

I thought you might not have seen the 1992 crash, how long you have been in the market sir? When did you start? Or is it just your study of 1992?
@SubhadipNandy
From 2008 to a month or so ago nifty quadrupled. Looking back this will be another crash that was bought in buy those who are opportunistic and calculated risk takers. Markets are best when you keep it simple.
