Positive sentiment of stock market has taken Nifty and Sensex to new levels of 10,000 and 32,000. This is just one of the many examples of stock market adding to the wealth of investors in last few years. Outstanding performance of these mentioned stocks has fetched excellent returns for investors. Even a minor investment in these stocks before 16 years might have generated unprecedented surplus of 253% in the Portfolio. A short-term trader might have missed these passive long-term returns focusing too much on short-term speculation. So it’s always better to keep an eye on Long term picture as well.

There are many other stocks in list of BSE500 which has given smart returns during last 16 years timeframe like JSW steel (766%), Kotak Mahindra Bank (473%), Vakrangee (454%). With the above examples, if we can stay invested in the company that has growth potential, quality and sustainability then it would not be that difficult to earn smart returns over long time. There are many companies listed on stock exchange which are very strong in terms of fundamental Balance Sheet,Revenues and progressive performance. If one could find such stocks at reasonable valuation at current market scenario, they have a good chance of wealth creation over long time. I always suggest having two different portfolios – one is tactical for short-term trading using Price action, another one for long-term investment. The framework not only helps us to capture ebbs and flows of Market speculation, but also helps us to stay invested in long term potential stocks.
