Strong balance sheet & long runaway of sectoral growth: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 37%
When investing in any stocks, be it a large, small or medium cap there has to be one strong reason why one should invest in. It could be a strong balance sheet, strong brand, long runway of growth for the sector. Because if one of these are present in a company then the short term volatility in the market does not matter. They come and go and finally these stocks are able to deliver returns. Especially at a time when the index is forming a new high and sentiment all bullish, it is more important to stay cautious because however strong a bull run might be, it has phases of correction like the one we saw in March and as recently as last week. If one is staying with quality stocks, the probability of faster recovery when bulls are back is high. We look at 5 stocks from different places where either one or more of the three things are present.

Staying bullish and hedging go hand in hand: 5 mid cap stocks from different sectors with potential upside of up to 39%
At this point of time when the street is juggling with its own fear and anxiety and waiting for the election results, the mid-caps segment of the market is witnessing some profit booking/ rational shifting/ consolidation. A part of that is happening because of the fact that the street is reacting and adjusting to Q4 numbers. The way stocks are moving, there is no one trend in mid-cap space. So there are many sub segments which are getting formed in mid-cap space and given the mix of head and tailwinds, this segmentation is likely to stay till election results. So, one will have to do two things, one be bullish but be more selective and focus on managing risks and hedge for short term and think from long term perspective.
