Thanks guys,
If we invest one time amount in a particular MF when the market is running low. Will it be profitable when we try to sell when the market is at its peak?
Couple of comments.
- Assuming you are new to investing, please learn about equity investments, asset allocation, risks involved in various types of assets, and also figure out your risk tolerance. Value research is a good site to get started on the basics.
- It will be safer to invest in mutual funds for your long term portfolio. Go through the threads on this forum to know recommended funds. Investing directly in stocks involves more risks and requires good understanding of the market. Buying/selling based on tips in not a good way.

You can never time the market. Although stock market has given up quite a bit last couple of months, you never know when its bottom. SIP ensures that you don't end up buying at the peak. It is also very difficult to know when its at peak.
Happy investing.
