I'm a 32M working in the IT industry. Im making pretty good money as a single. For the past 5 years Ive been able to save well but I was too scared to put in MF or stocks at that time. For all the 5 years I only invested in FD and RD. I recently realised after taxes I only make around 3 to 3.5% profit in bank FD. Last 6 months I spent a lot of time to learn about the market, how to choose stocks, how to time it, how to assess market etc and invested a chunk of my savings in equity and MF (4 months). To mu luck it has been doing well. I am currently at +15% unrealised across my portfolio. I was optimistic about my moves (I still understand market can nose dive anytime, but I am in a state where I am ready to make calculated risks and not be greedy). But the last few weeks has been very very confusing and the posts in this subreddit is making me scary. There are so many geopolitical issues going on, tarrifs issues, I don't have clarity on how India would react etc etc. It feels like the market may dip heavily considering FII are exiting fast. Help this newbie understand what to do now. Is this fear valid? Am I overreacting? What does the history teach us? Should I exit now with the profit I have now and wait for the world tension to calm down? Just wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on this.
