Why did Jim Rogers make this claim in this bad phase?
The indian stock market has been going through a very bad phase for the last 5 months. The main reason for this is the disillusionment of FIIs with India. Due to this, the condition of the stock market is getting worse. According to NSDL data till 24 february 2025, FIIs have sold shares worth more than Rs 1 lakh crore so far this year. However, Street Smart author and world's leading investor Jim Rogers believes that this could be a good opportunity to invest.
This is a great opportunity to invest: Rogers
According to a report by ET, well-known commodity and investment expert Jim Rogers says that this period of recession in the indian stock market can prove to be beneficial for those investors who want to make long term investments. According to Rogers, if you really want to be a successful investor, then you need to think out of the crowd. When the market is weak, then there is a good opportunity to invest. Rogers believes that history is a witness that those who have patience during a period of big decline became entitled to profit.
Experts are advising to be cautious
However, unlike Rogers, many experts are advising investors to be cautious in this period of challenges. siddharth Vora, Quant Investment Strategies and Fund Manager of PL Asset Management, said in an interview to ET Now that in the current challenging situation of the stock market, one should focus on large-cap stocks because they are able to face the market fluctuations in a better way.
Similarly, Devendra Choksi, Managing director of DR Choksi Finserv, said that at this time many big investors and fund managers are selling expensive stocks and turning to value-oriented quality stocks. Of course, there is pressure on mid and small-cap stocks due to FII selling, but this phase of selling will not last for long. Experts believe that FIIs are always looking for good and cheap shares. In such a situation, if there is stability in the market and the situation changes, then FIIs will return to the indian markets again.
