Are you looking at the Nifty to figure out whether to be bullish or bearish? If yes, cast your eye back to the day last year when the big correction started. Did all stocks start falling only after September 26, 2024, the day the indices peaked? No. Several stocks across segments began declining much before that day. The lesson: Focus on companies where the broader picture of growth is intact. And let the Nifty do what it is doing. Focus on the management, a key driver of earnings. Also, because GST rationalisation will likely impact earnings in a positive way, it is probably a good time to keep scepticism aside, but with conditions.
