At the Money9 Financial Freedom Summit 2026, famous investor Vijay Kedia gave many important suggestions related to the market to the investors. In the session titled Bullet Proof Bull, he said that the recent decline seen in the stock market is not a new thing.
According to Kedia, investors’ expectations had increased a lot in the last few years. He said that money was doubling in three years, so people started feeling that the money in the market would increase very fast. But the reality is that the stock market does not always move in the same direction and ups and downs are natural.
Testing period for new investors
He said that after Covid, a large number of new investors have come to the stock market. If these investors survive this period of ups and downs then it is a kind of litmus test for them. According to Kedia, investors who pass this phase wisely will become more mature investors in the future.
It is important to trust yourself
Speaking on America’s policies and global decisions, Kedia said that the leader of any country takes decisions in the interest of his country. Giving the example of Donald Trump, he said that every new leader comes with new thinking and tries to make changes in the old system. Sometimes he succeeds and sometimes fails.
Kedia advised investors that instead of being overly dependent on external circumstances, they should strengthen themselves and take their investment decisions wisely.
More risk in mid and small caps
On the question asked about the decline in mid and small cap shares, Kedia said that investors should take a decision after seeing the complete data. He said that between 2021 and 2024, while large cap shares witnessed a good rise, mid and small cap shares grew manifold.
But this pattern can also be reversed in the market. This means that after the rise, there can be a sharp fall in these shares. Therefore, Kedia believes that mid cap and small cap are not right for every investor, especially new investors should avoid investing in them for now.
