zion asked, hi, when experts talk about long term investemnt in stocks,i need to clarify this doubt. Suppose i hold to some stocks for 4-5 years and when i decide to sell them, if the market has gone down dramatically down, what is the whole purpose of holding on to them for these yeasr? how can i avoid this?
PRANAV SANGHAVI answers, Well, in the four to five years that you have held on the markets will surely be at a higher level than what you had purchased at even after a great fall at that time. Say for example, If you had bought in 2002-2003 when the Index was around 3000, and you decided to sell in 2006 the index at its lows of 8,000 levels is more than double than that of the 2002-03 levels.
