These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 25% return in 1 year, according to analysts
Often we judge the performance of a portfolio by comparing it with other asset classes. For example, everyone is now talking about the kind of return gold and silver have given in the last one year. When it comes to precious metals, the fact is that returns like this have been seen in the past as well. But the probability of such a performance being repeated to the same extent is very low. So, don’t rush to take exposure just because there is momentum in something. You must also realise that, in just the past two years, many old theories of the stock market have been turned upside down.

As Nifty & Sensex recover, these large-caps have ‘strong buy’, ‘buy’ recos, with an upside potential of more than 28%
There’s this old saying in the stock market: Even when the bulls are in control, you can never write off the bears. They have and will make an appearance at regular intervals, sometimes in the form of volatile corrections (whatever be the reason, domestic or global). At this point, the bias is toward the bulls. And this bias may become more pronounced over a period of time. One caveat, though: There should not be trouble in the global market because of the China-US tariff tussle. As an investor, it is important to track the fundamental development in sectors and stay with fundamentally good stocks.

As Nifty & Sensex recover, these large-caps have ‘strong buy’, ‘buy’ recos, with an upside potential of more than 26%
We are in a market where, as an investor, either be very agile or be extremely passive. And if you are passive, stick to ETFs. But being agile comes with its own risks (and rewards, of course). As the market continues to move upward, we are probably going to see a phase where the momentum itself becomes fuel for fresh money to flow in. Today, we take a look at stocks that are not only large-cap stocks but are large businesses and strong brands – or have something else that makes them stand out. The focus is also on managing the relationship between upside potential and drawdowns.
