In recent days, both Indian and global stock markets have shown instability, leading many investors to reconsider their strategies—whether to exit the market with their losses or to invest more to lower their average costs. Predictions by financial experts have often proven incorrect, and governments have struggled to stabilize the markets despite various support measures. The market's volatility has heightened anxiety among even experienced traders. In this uncertain environment, no foolproof solutions exist. The term "disclaimer" is frequently used by experts as a protective measure against accountability. The author's insights are informed by personal experience and discussions with his son, Aasif Musa, a recent graduate with a strong academic background in finance. Although Aasif is new to trading, he has shown promise in his initial role in the industry. Aasif identifies two primary reasons for the recent market decline: slowing global economic growth and hedge funds facing redemptions from investors, which forces them to sell stocks, further driving down prices. The author also highlights the psychological impact of rumors, forecasts, and media reports that contribute to a negative market sentiment. While the author does not offer specific investment advice, he suggests that investors carefully consider their positions and trust their analytical instincts before making decisions, reiterating that his insights are not guaranteed solutions but rather guidance based on their discussions.
