Learn to live with volatility & use it to your advantage: 5 large-cap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 41%

In October, the bears made no distinction between large-, mid- or small-cap stocks – mauling them equally. The market behavior during the month underlined the importance of adhering to the basic principles of equity investing. First, remember that when you buy a stock, you own part of a business – and how the business is doing is more important than any movement of the Nifty. Second, if you are a long-term investor, a month of selling should not bother you. It has happened in the past, and will happen in the future as well. So, keep your focus on the business underlying the stock. Check for changes in the environment, and whether they are positive or negative for the business. Last, but not the least, do your homework before investing – not after investing.
