‘Know’ the ‘Why’
Are investors clear on what market correction means? The chaos and suspicion among investors may stem from the association of market correction with volatility, where markets appear to be plummeting. However, volatility often indicates a temporary price adjustment rather than a permanent decline.
Manic markets? Don’t panic
As noted earlier, manic markets can lead investors to redeem their holdings. Analyzing trends shows a general upward movement; for example, the Nifty 50 Index experienced a 27% correction from Oct 13, 2010, to Dec 20, 2011, but rebounded by 98% from that low until Mar 3, 2015. Data as of Oct 31, 2016. Source: NSE.
Focus on the forest, not on the tree
If you’re still unable to convince yourself, then you must definitely consult a financial advisor. This is because they have the experience and brilliance to help you in not only making correct investment decisions but also help in resisting your temptation to redeem during a market correction.
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch
Now a common practice amongst investors is that if they have invested in a bull market, they assume the situation to remain the same throughout, not thinking much about the bear market. Since market movements are cyclic, investors should have a realistic plan in mind while investing and be prepared for all kinds of market movements.
