Investors should focus on the Primary Trend

As the market goes through a correction, Investors have reasons to feel concerned or even panic. They watch the value of their investments come down, wondering if they should sell out and buy later when the correction is done with.

The best suggestion to investors is to do nothing, stay invested. Selling now and buying when the correction is over assumes that the investors has knowledge of the time when the correction will end. No one can do such market timing, leave alone retail investors.

I am giving below an excerpt from a blog post, available here:
