Why are Zomato, Policy Bazaar and Nykaa stocks to Hold? Managing Editor Anil Singhvi explains

Investors holding stocks of new age companies like FSN-E Commerce Ventures Limited (Nykaa), PB Fintech (Policy Bazaar) and Zomato should hold the shares and not sell them on just any price, Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi recommends.

Emphasizing that the worst is behind these shares, he said that there was ban and panic which led to corrections in these stocks.

A lot of times when you are unable to sell at the right price, you must not look to sell it at any price that comes your way, the Market Guru said.

There is a temptation that if one has not sold the stock at 18800 then one must sell it at 17,800 and this should not be down, Singhvi advised.

If you have missed the opportunity to sell at a high, resist selling it at low as two wrongs will not make things right.
