The stock market appears to be moving in an irrational manner. One day it crashes on the P-notes controversy, the next it bounces back. It crashed on US sub-prime worries, without analysing if emerging markets were affected, and later climbed to record highs on the impression the sub-prime crisis had been resolved. The market players don’t seem to analyse the pros and cons before taking trading decisions. But retail investors should make their own analysis on the economy and a company’s performance, and stay invested. They should not venture into panic selling.
