'Buy Right, Sit Tight' is the way to invest in the market, said Raamdeo Agrawal, Chairman of Motilal Oswal Financial Services on Friday.

“I always believe that nobody can time the market, so 'Buy Right, Sit Tight' – that’s the way to go in the equity market, not only in India but all over the world,” Agarwal told CNBC-TV18.
Agrawal said that earnings growth will come back this year. He added that not participating in the market is the biggest risk right now. Banks will not face COVID and telecom related stress this year, he said.
“We have seen the worst of economic and health disaster and yet we have done 15 percent. So 2021, hopefully, will not repeat the 2020 and we should have at least as good a year as 2020 on the whole.”
On the auto front, Agrawal said that entry-level bikes, tractors, crop protection etc., are doing well due to rural prosperity. He said that he would invest in large lenders that survived the COVID stress over small banks.
“I can buy a second rate steel or cement company but not a second rate lender. So one has to be very careful particularly as an investment. As a momentum trade rising tides will lift all the boats, so small banks, public sector undertaking (PSU) banks and even not so well private sector banks, everything will go up in this environment but if you want a peaceful evening then it important to buy quality names,” said Agrawal.
