As per market grapevine, trading in precious metals is now risky and many overpriced IPOs like Ola Electric Mobility have eroded retail wealth.
- Trading discipline is critical, be patient, avoid impulsive bets, manage risk per trade, plan exits in advance and stay flexible. Markets reward process over emotion, so stay focused, cut losers fast and ride strength with conviction.
- Keep stock specific approach: 15 Feb 2026 Maha Shivaratri & 17 Feb 2026 Surya Grahan. China’s new year holidays start from 16 Feb. Unexpected wild volatility will be seen till Holi. as per market grapevine, for the next 3–4 months focus only on fundamentally strong firms with healthy 9M FY26 numbers and positive near-term commentary.
