MARKET VIEW | V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services

There are two major factors supporting the ongoing bull run: one, the strength of the mother market US, riding on the support from huge liquidity and highly accommodative monetary stance of the Fed; two, the exuberance of the retail investors who are exerting a disproportionate influence on market movements. While retail investor participation is a desirable trend, it is important to note the fact that the quality of retail investment - chasing low-quality cheap stocks - leaves a lot to be desired. In the long run, the majority of retail investors will be better- off investing through mutual funds. The present rising tide will eventually turn and if the market turns sharply bearish, many retail investors will be stuck with low-grade stocks causing huge wealth destruction. Retail investors, therefore, will have to exercise great caution in their investment
