Covid-19 has put pressure on the stocks markets around the world resulting in price depression in many quality stocks. Investors are feeling the pain as their portfolios are bleeding and this panic selling is scaring investors. This is not a new phenomena for the markets, as it moves in a wave where it has a bull run as well as bear run. Have a look on long term Nifty chart.
During outbreak of financial crisis in C.Y. 2008, Nifty has fallen from 6357 level to 2253 level, a fall of 65% and ended the bull run started from the period C.Y. 2004 to C.Y. 2007 . In C.Y.2004, Nifty was at 1292 level and went to 6357 level in January 2008. It has shown a growth of 182% in this period which is enormous.
Once the bull run ended in 2008, it took two years to reach at this level (6357) in November 2010. Thereafter the market has moved upward and Nifty touched 12400 level in the year 2020.
In C.Y. 2020, Covid-19 event has proved to be the end of the bull market and Nifty has shown deep cut from 12400 level to 8600 level on 18th March 2020. This is the sharpest fall in equities in their history. Still Nifty has high potential to go down. Yet there is no bottom placed that suggest that there is any relief to the stock market fall. Next support level is at 7900 level and hopefully we will find some respite in terms of fall there .
Those who have created the portfolio during the financial crisis in the year 2008, have seen huge upside till date and must have become billionaires at present. Bear market has the potential to reduce the valuation of stocks and make them attractive. Investors can have a look on the present carnage in the values of the stocks.
