Retail Investors Selling Stocks at Market Highs
Indian stock markets are at new highs, but many regular investors are selling their stocks.
This is happening even though the market is doing well.
An expert named Ashish Singhal says this is a common pattern.
People get excited when the market goes up and sell when it drops, even though this can hurt their long-term investments.
He explains that successful investors are those who stay calm and keep investing regularly, no matter what the market does.
This way, they build wealth over time without making impulsive decisions.
Retail investors sold ₹19,700 crore worth of stocks this quarter despite market highs.
The Nifty 50 index reached a new all-time high of 26,310.
Ashish Singhal, co-founder of CoinSwitch, highlights the emotional cycle of investors.
Investors tend to sell during market drops and buy back at higher prices.
Successful investors stay consistent, maintain SIPs, and avoid emotional decisions.
