Shah also has a word of advice for investors of defence sector:

On the defence sector, Shah, said,  “If investors invest in defence stocks at current levels, then, don’t be surprised if their money gets double in next three to five years. We had invested in Mazagon Dock, Bharat Dynamics and HAL in their IPOs. In the defence sector, we have always liked companies like Cochin Shipyard, BHEL and L&T which work to make life of our armed forces more secure.

The Fear of Missing Out factor always keeps markets in the mood. The Government had announced lot of initiatives like Make In India for the defence sector,” he said.

Shah’s view on the stock market:

On the ongoing fluctuations in the market, Shah, has advised investors not to panic on short-term hick ups in the market. He has in contrast advised investors to remain invested for the long term.
