Shankar Sharma’s tips for young investors entering the market

Investment expert Shankar Sharma advises small investors to adopt a marathon run approach when investing in Indian stocks. He suggests buying 50 stocks initially and, over two or three quarters, identifying 10 to 15 that perform very well. The poor performers should be sold and the capital reinvested into the winners. Sharma recommends younger investors focus on small- and mid-cap stocks when starting out, rather than the larger, more stable companies.
