He said that current “P/E ratios primarily reflect the past performance of the company and don’t fully capture the prospective rapid growth in earnings, potentially making Indian stocks more attractive in the long term.” He suggested investors focus on “solidly growing companies” that manage to excel regardless of the market’s overall state. “Investment timing should focus on solidly growing companies, as there are always opportunities to find firms that excel regardless of the market’s overall state,” he said. “For newcomers to the investing world, particularly those unable to research individual stocks, I would recommend choosing a well-diversified mutual fund managed by experienced and reputable investment professionals.
