<\/div>\n

Completely in contrast to February last year, the markets have been in a positive mood this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benchmark indices have moved up over 5.5% over the past 45 days or an even better almost 7.5% over the past 30 odd days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as soon as such up swings happen, the \u201cexperts\u201d in the market all start jumping around with their new estimates of where the markets are headed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allow us to share a bit of history with you and also explain on why I do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this table mean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If we see the growth story of the Indian economy from $2 Trillion to $2.6 Trillion which is a 32% growth in the economy over the past 5 years, the markets have gone up by around 62%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a lot of government & private agencies talking about India reaching a $5 Trillion economy over the next 7-8 years, one can only imagine where the markets would be heading.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s exactly the only reason we said, if Sensex<\/a> is at 40,000, so what?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are not looking for short term upsides or short term blips. Similarly, we do not even bother for short term falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that India as an economy is probably the fastest growing economy and short term movements or short term rumours, positive or negative, will not hamper its growth prospects.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me add another column to the table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The added column tells you the complete story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are invested in well researched & fundamentally rock solid businesses, you will not just beat the returns given by the broad indices, but beat them by a BIG MARGIN.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, before we conclude, let us give you a chance to do a small exercise. Just fill up the numbers in the below table and send it across to us on createwealth@researchandranking.com. It\u2019ll be amazing to understand the views of fellow long term <\/a>investors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
