“Sometimes amateurs beat professionals. This is happening in the Indian stock market now. FIIs, often regarded as representing smart money, have been pushed back by the sheer momentum of retail investors. FIIs who have been consistently selling in July on rational hopes of a correction in the overvalued market have been forced to buy ( Rs 2,117 crore in cash market yesterday) on fears of losing out on the momentum. Retail investors and mutual funds flush with funds from NFOs are driving this market without much regard to valuations. Having broken the 15,950 Nifty upper band decisively, sheer momentum may take the market higher. With institutional money pouring in, large caps are likely to outperform if the market continues its upward momentum. Leading banking stocks, which have been underperforming in this rally, are likely to catch up,” stated V Okay Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
