Look at established players than midcaps: Basant Maheshwari

A blind buy in this situation would be non-banking finance companies – NBFCs specifically relating to the housing finance sector. You can buy them, buy them 5 percent lower, 5 percent up from here, keep them for 5-10 years. The two which I own, are from western India and southern India. I wouldn’t like to take names.

So those kinds of companies you can just buy them and keep them. Buy them 5 percent lower, 5 percent higher, it doesn’t matter. It wouldn’t matter to you today at what price you bought HDFC Bank in 1999 whether it was up or down, it doesn’t matter to you today. Investors have to reconcile to the fact that midcaps and smallcaps specially, can fall 20 percent without reason and by the time they fall 30 percent you have a reason but then you say it is already discounted in the price.
