Many of us might be regretting not adding more small caps inve | ACEink Official

Many of us might be regretting not adding more small caps investments after today's strong surge. It's natural to think, "I should have bought more on March 12th or 13th."

But remember, successful investing is more about managing emotions than just following market trends. Just because the market suddenly surged doesn't mean we should rush in and buy at any price.

You might ask, "Why not?" What if 2024 turns out to be similar to 2023, contrary to analysts' predictions of a sideways year?

Let's analyze.

In 2023, the NIFTY Smallcap 100 index rose by about 55%, similar to its performance in 2021, one of the best years in recent history. However, even during these bullish periods:

- The index fell more than 2% on multiple occasions and between 1% and 2% even more frequently.
- In 2021, it dropped over 2% on 14 occasions and between 1% and 2% on 19 occasions.
- In 2022, it experienced similar fluctuations, indicating frequent market swings.

Considering this, if we anticipate 2024 to fall between the performance of 2022 and 2023, then there will likely be plenty of buying opportunities in the coming months.

So, how can we capitalize on these opportunities?

1) Do your homework:
Identify the stocks you want to buy and at what price ranges.

2) Be patient:
Wait for the stocks to reach your desired range.

3) Act decisively:
Buy when the prices align with your strategy, instead of worrying about missing out.

It's easier said than done, but that's why achieving success in the market is never easy!
