Just one action, ‘Hold’, is enough to create sustainable wealth: 10 large-cap stocks from different sectors which fit the bill

The global financial crisis of 2008 crushed risk assets. Five years later, the US “taper tantrum” hit emerging market currencies and equities. Late 2016 saw demonetisation. Then came Covid in March 2020, slamming the markets. The Russia-Ukraine war in 2022 sparked fear, followed by the Adani-Hindenburg meltdown and, in the last year, the tariff tantrums. And before you could settle down, we have the AI crisis for the Indian software sector. See the pattern here? An event-shock hits stock prices, creating panic. But, in time, the shock wears off and the markets return to doing what they do.
