I liked the story on large caps; we share the same promising outlook. Can I buy blue-chip stocks and forget about them? - Pooja Khatri [EasyDNNnews:PaidContentStart]
Editor Responds: We appreciate your kind words of encouragement. The belief that investing in blue-chip stocks and forgetting about them is a foolproof strategy is a common myth. Market leadership constantly evolves, and many once-dominant blue-chip companies have declined or disappeared. For instance, around 10-12 of the original Nifty 50 companies from 1996 still remain in the index today. This demonstrates that no stock is permanently safe, and past performance does not guarantee future success.
Factors such as technological disruptions, regulatory changes, and shifting consumer preferences can erode a company’s dominance. Instead of a passive “buy and forget” approach, investors should regularly review their portfolios, stay updated on market trends, and ensure their holdings remain aligned with long-term financial goals. As a long-term investor, you should increase your investment in a company if it demonstrates strong performance and consider selling if its growth prospects become uncertain.
