Medium term strategy

There is unlikely to be any spectacular recovery in the markets. On every bit of bad news, there is likely to be severe correction which might take the Sensex down to 12000 or below levels. However, volumes are thin and it means that shares are moving from weaker to stronger hands.

The strategy for the long term investor is to identify a list of good stocks (might be some from the existing portfolio which are beaten down) and buy in small quantities on major falls in the market. My sense is that this phase will last atleast till July and post that, we could see some signs of recovery.
