It’s a great mahurat to invest and the only huge risk in the market is that one may have sold too soon. This is a great mahurat to invest. The real risk is to take money off the table.
My personal view remains that India is a player in the overall equity landscape. We lagged the global markets, but now India has broken out. India will benefit due from the huge tailwinds coming through.
Inflation is good for corporate earnings in India. Because that's what guides the overall prosperity of 70-80% of India. It's the real unloved factor in the overall scheme of things.
Occasional dips will be there, but they will pass through. Market will go up substantially from here, incrementally
In most part, they (new age companies) come in at a fairly aggressive pricing. Because the VCs had invested, and nobody thought Indian IPOs would open and give such great exits. Everybody was looking at NASDAQs, so because of that aggression, investors are not going to make much money from these IPOs .
We turned bullish on it (commodity cycle), oil and steel bought, there is still some upside. The world will kill the commodity cycle soon, they can't survive the inflation, so make hay while the sun is shining.
No clue about crypto. It's a huge tidal wave, can't ignore it, I have a position and I continue to like the space.
Many things are promising (from a 24-month horizon). One is Real estate and derivates of RE all look good.

India is a long term buy market. Every mahurat is good day to invest. The only thing is that we are in a period after a great rally and to that extent, as long as our return expectations are rational, it's a good day to invest
(In the) last 4-5 years, companies had capacity but demand wasn't robust. Suddenly demand has set in, companies are now operating at 75-80% utilisation. Companies have started to look at expansion. And acquisition targets are also gone. So corporates are announcing new capex now. First 6-8 months of this capex cycle isn't visible, but it's happening. In the 2nd or 3rd year, it's visible. To play that, companies are not cheap, but there are still good opportunities, in, for example, bearing, heavy machinery, cement companies.
Only near-term headwind is capex costs have gone up.
No harm in investing in steel, cement companies, but they are deep cyclical sectors. One must keep that in mind.
The tech behind crypto is robust but I don't understand the application, how we are using it.
