"Big money is not in the buying or selling, but in the waiting."
Smart investors invest in equity for a long term as they believe in wealth creation by investing in quality stocks that possess a growth potential over the long period of time. Keeping ears to ground and holding the stocks till the full growth cycle of the company, smart investors benefit from the period spend in growth of the company. Being hasty in selling quality stocks is never a choice of smart investors. They believe in fundamentals to achieve financial goals over the long term therefore market corrections do not lead them into panic. During market correction, they prefer to sit tight on their holdings.
