even in general news channel, nifty crash is breaking news.:lol:
maybe retail traders will panic and sell further.
There are three kind of retail investors -
a)Core Investors - Fall Doesn't matter to them - they are buy and hold types - typically their buy price + divedends is such that these price movements are immaterial - so they don't sell
c) Traders - Buy and hold and sell for a week/month etc - Typically investing surplus money - taking out money when it hits target - say 5%/10%
- They would have either encashed already or
- They typically don't book loss - they hold it assuming it will recover
as they have source of income and not dependent on markets for
day to day
c) MF Investors - Here too the mindset is not to sell immediately if in loss,
but in profits - then book profits - where the mental levels work - market
7000 see neeche gir gaya profit book kar lete hai
(Little to medium redemtions due to this)
And at this time of year - the ELSS investments will be more than the
redemptions from these MF investors
So impact of retail dumping is less - unless there is huge run from MF
HNI is different animal - and not considered in above scenarios
