Investors with short term objectives often choose redemption during market crash. It’s important to know that markets are bound to be unstable, that’s how they have been inherently! As Mr. Warren Buffett says, ‘Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing’. Market correction could be the right time to invest. But invest wisely! Let’s learn 5 key reasons to invest during market correction.
To learn about quality management
Quality of stock is determined by two important variables. Business and Management! Market correction may affect the business adversely but that’s where the decisions made by the quality management do make a difference. The quality of management is best tested at its bad times. It’s a great learning to understand managements’ strategies during market correction to look forward for the long term growth potential.
Longevity
Bearish markets are indicators to figure out longevity of your stocks. Quality stocks usually show limited downside. Remember, investing is a long term commitment. This means, correction a filter for your portfolio to retain quality stocks and invest in more quality stocks for a long term commitment.
Be greedy when others are fearful
This quote by Mr. Warren Buffett, ‘Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful’ is quite popular in value investing. While investing in value over a long period of time, unrest in the market may be beneficial for smart investors. Invest in focused portfolio of quality stocks where downside is limited and upside is comparatively very high in the long term.
SIP to average returns
Market crisis usually indicates sudden rise and falls in the markets. As an SIP investor, your investments average out the returns due to ups and downs in the market with the consistent investments. SIP also helps you not to panic during such times of uncertainty. A safe player in the equity market or an investing beginner should invest in SIP with focused quality stocks.
Value vs price
Market uncertainty is a good time for value investors to invest more in quality companies with long term growth agenda. It’s important to learn the business with its quality of business and management, growth over the past years, longevity in the future and price at the time of investment. Remember, price is what you pay and value is what you get. During correction, high value stocks come with higher return potential and are available at lower price.
