There’s this old saying in the stock market: Even when the bulls are in control, you can never write off the bears. They have and will make an appearance at regular intervals, sometimes in the form of volatile corrections (whatever be the reason, domestic or global). At this point, the bias is toward the bulls.

This simple habit that gives relief can end up killing you: Doctors explain what really happens
A common habit that many people use for quick relief may seem harmless, but doctors warn it can have serious, even fatal, consequences.

Sound businesses are the best antidote for volatility: 6 large- and mid-cap stocks with an upside potential of up to 30%
The market hates uncertainty. Post the big reforms (GST and banking), the markets should have ideally been in upbeat mode this festive season. But the US tariffs are a downer.

As an investor, there is no point trying to guess what will happen. Focus, instead, on good businesses with an assured market and sound management. That will pay off in the long term.
