Better option for uncertain times: Two unwanted sectors & 5 strong balance sheets
It is after a long period of time that both indices and market breadth are indicating that finally there is a correction. Now just because the market is correcting that does not mean that money is not going to come to markets. There are still lots of investors who would be sitting on cash and looking to deploy fresh money. The question is in current market conditions with headwinds getting added to already existing ones like high valuations, what strategy should an investor follow so that fresh money which he is putting in performs relatively better?
Time for tactical investing: 5 stocks from 2 most unwanted sectors, but with very strong balance sheets
There is an age old saying on Dalal street, when stocks stop reacting to bad news, it means that bears have run out of ammunition and probably it is time to look at them. Similarly when stocks stop reacting to positive news, probably bulls will not be having a say in the near term. At this point of time, there is an interesting phenomenon which is playing out. While at the overall market basis, it appears that bulls may not have much to say in near term. But at the same time, there are two sectors, which have been getting bombarded with bad news for the last two years. Whether it is macro or micro, news or opinion, literally everything which has been said about them is either negative or at best neutral. But if one looks at price action on the counters on any bad news or even brokerage downgrades which is essentially an opinion stock prices are refusing to fall. Historically one of these two sectors were considered defensive,as stocks from this sector tend to outperform in bearish markets. So, is it the time to go against the narrative of negative news and get them on the watch list?
For the trader and investor in you: A collection of stocks suitable for trading and investing alike
It is probably times like these, where valuations are high and the desire to trade and invest is also at a peak, one needs to set some rules, both for investing and trading. As a first step, have a well defined set of stocks, where one would invest and trade. So, that one does stray into stocks which are moving up just because there is sunshine all over the street. This might appear conservative to some as it limits the scope but being conservative is a way of bringing in discipline, especially when it comes to trading. So, out of a total universe of more than 3000 stocks, how about having a set of 50 non - nifty stocks which increase the probability of you making money both in volatile and trending markets and also satisfy your desire to be a trader and investor at same time.
More than just an index and it's not Nifty: A collection of stocks suitable for trading and investing alike
Out of 50 stocks, only 5 of them have delivered negative returns in the last one year. Out of these 5 stocks, three stocks belong to one industrial house which faced headwinds early last year. 7 stocks have delivered more than 100 percent return, 4 stocks have gained between 80 to 100 %, 8 stocks have gained between 60 to 80 %, 5 stocks between 40 to 60 %, 12 stocks have gained between 20 to 40% and 9 stocks have gained between 0 to 20%. So, if you have focussed only on these 50 stocks out of a total universe of more than 3000 stocks which are traded, the probability that you would have been able to make money both in volatile and trending markets and also satisfy your desire to be a trader and investor at same time would have been met. The reason why is stocks? Most retail traders have a tendency to trade with bullish bias and prefer taking long positions rather than going short even when markets are not so bullish.
Probability favors them: A set of stocks to fulfill the desire of trader and investor in you
Trading and investing are very different both in terms of skill sets, requirement of capital and finally the returns which one is able to generate from each of them. That is probably the reason that even the most exceptional wealth creators in the world have accepted this fact and stayed with what they are good at, either investing or trading. But the majority of us have this desire to do both trading and investing at the same time. This mixing of both may lead to a situation where either there would be no returns, or sub optima returns. While in the stock market there is nothing called guaranteed but there is a set of stocks which have higher probability to help all those who want to be trader and investor at both the time.
Desire management, the quantitative way: A set of stocks for those who wish to do trade and invest at the same time
Out of 50 stocks, only 7 have delivered negative returns in the last one year. Out of these 7 stocks, four stocks belong to one industrial house which faced headwinds at the start of 2023. 6 stocks have delivered more than 100 percent return and 26 stocks have gained more than 20 % in the last one year. If you had focussed only on these set stocks and either invested or only traded in them only, the possibility of being able to satisfy your desire to be a trader and investor at same time would have been met.

Smallcaps with long term perspective; 4 stocks with right levels of RoE and upside potential of up to 41%
The recent performance of small caps has brought them in the category of stocks where the desire to own them is “highest”. But the fact which gets ignored in such conditions is that “risks” are also at the highest. The reason, valuation across the board are expensive and corrections in small caps are probably the most brutal ones. Just jog your memory back to October 2021.

Playing the consumer boom: 4 small and midcap stocks in specialised retailers space
If one looks at the history on how organised retailing in India has evolved, more players have gone down the drain as compared to ones that survived. Most prominent one which went down after years of existence was Future group companies. There are many industrial houses which tried their hands on retailing but sooner than later they realised that it is a very heavy capital intensive business and not their cup of tea. On the other hand, there have been retailers focussed on one single category of product and services, who have been able to manage to grow, maybe due to a mix of hybrid model, off and online. These retailers have grown in tough times both in terms of economic condition and high competition, which increase the probability of them surviving the challenges which retailers tend to face every now and then.
