When SEBI registered investment advisor Kedar Oak was asked about the market rally on Thursday and the role of investors, he said, "The sudden rally in the market is deceptive. Therefore, investors should take profits here. Many times, we do not take profits after seeing the market rise. Then the market corrects and the opportunity disappears. In short-term investments, without keeping an eye on the target, the profit received in the short term should be considered as the return on the original investment. Many times, without taking such profit, the investor waits with expectations and then SHORT TERM BECOME LONG TERM. Unexpected rally is casual and in such cases, one should give priority to returns without getting involved in emotions."
