A Rare Opportunity in the Market: Our Top 5 Stocks to Buy Now

Over the years, my husband and I have become addicted to online shopping.

Our buying patterns differ. He scours Amazon for deals on gadgets and electronics. Being an avid reader, I look for books.

My husband, especially, loves deals. He is disciplined that way and quite clear he will buy an item he likes only if it's more than 40-50% off.

Most of the time, these items get added to his wishlist. This a list full of potential future purchases at the right price...

...And the right price, more often than not, comes during periodic sales.

But why restrict ourselves to online shopping?

When you roam in so many malls, sprung up all over India, you will see they are most crowded when the sale season is on.

Who doesn't like a good bargain?

Believe it or not, the same logic applies when shopping for stocks.

You don't want to buy stocks when markets are in a frenzy and the prices are exorbitant.

You want to buy them when markets are depressed, when markets are continuously falling - Precisely the situation we are in now.

This may be hard to digest, but believe me it is true.

If you look at the stock market returns over the years, you will see that the markets have never moved in a linear fashion.

What do I mean by that?

It has never been a one-way street - only up or down.

Stock markets have always moved in cycles.

The Time to Buy Stocks is Now

If you would have bought stocks when either the Sensex or the Smallcap index was in a downturn, you would have made big returns once the cycle turned and the bulls took over.

Sarvajeet and I believe we are seeing a similar situation currently.

The economic slowdown does not herald the end of the world or for that matter the end of India. It's a phase and like all phases - This too shall pass.

The real question is - Are you taking advantage of these price declines to buy quality stocks?

I believe you should.

Here's what Sarvajeet wrote on Wednesday:

• We humans are emotional creatures.
  
  When we feel positive, we extrapolate good times far into the future.
  
  On the other hand, we are in fear mode, we think like the world is going to end.
  
  This swing of the pendulum creates price declines.
  
  But this also creates an opportunity.

Look at what India's super investors are doing.

Some of them, who we track for our Smart Money Secrets subscribers, are buying more of the stocks already in their portfolio. Some are picking up new ones.

Sarvajeet and I are also finding some compelling buying opportunities in these markets and have recommended an increased exposure to 5 high-quality stocks.

We have been quite busy over the last few days writing to our subscribers that they should be buying more of these stocks.

These are stocks of companies with robust business models, healthy balance sheets, and strong management teams.

These stocks have corrected, not because there is anything wrong with them but due to the overall weakness in the market.

Just as in any sale, these stocks are now available at discounted prices.

And so, Sarvajeet and I have recommended an increase in exposure in these 5 high-quality stocks from 50% to 100% to our subscribers.

We published a premium report about these 5 stocks just two days ago.
