Singhvi asked what those investors should do who have still not participated in the bull run.

Giving analogy of a swimmer, Shah said that if one has to learn swimming, he must get into the water. An investor willing to enter markets mut be prepared to deal with the rise and fall in the stock markets, he further said.

Instead of fearing the correction or uptrends one must try to embrace the situations, he further said. As a rule one must book profit on a rising markets and make investments in the falling markets, he further added.

Those who have still not been the part of the bull market run now have the opportunity to enter the markets, Shah said. He suggested a few themes to the investors.  

One of the themes is around the revival of capital expenditure or capex. The government has been spending till now and the private sector took a backseat. Now sectors including cement, steel and sugar have been spending money on capex, Shah said.

The capex will now run on two wheels – public and private.
