If there is one thing that we can safely predict about the equity markets, it is the volatility attached with it. The Indian stock market<\/a> moves to and fro constantly which leaves the investors in a dilemma. With the chaos of doubt constantly hovering around us, wouldn\u2019t it be an amazing if we could find a way to beat the game of \u2018 Time the market<\/a>\u2019? In theory, the idea of optimizing the upside gains and avoiding the losses seems captivating. However, in reality it is difficult to foretell the trends in the stock market<\/a>. Many investors are generally under the delusion that they can outwit the volatility hence they end up losing money and from there the blame game starts. They end up cursing their luck or the wicked forces behind the Indian stock markets. So, why not concentrate on \u2018Time in the market\u2019 rather than inventing irrelevant attempts to \u2018Time the market.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following scenario explains why we believe in \u2018time in the market\u2019 rather than \u2018timing the market\u2019.<\/strong> As you can see, the BSE Sensex<\/a> surged by around 27% in the last one year. Investors banking on \u2018Time in the market\u2019 were all in smiles, while others trying to time the market were left in despair.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
