Anand Kumar
Sumit, 26, started his investing journey around two years back. Through monthly SIPs of Rs 5,000 in mutual funds, he has accumulated a corpus of Rs 1.82 lakh so far. But since the market has been falling for the last couple of months, Sumit wonders if he should stop investing or take a more opportunistic bet and invest his savings of Rs 2 lakh in one go and capitalise on the dip, or play it safe. He was also contemplating if he should aggressively invest in stocks right now.
