Speaking of stock markets, we often hear people talking about what is the right time to sell in the market and what is the right time to buy.

But rarely do people talk about what to hold. Because it is in holding the stocks where the real money lies, for example take a look at the chart below:

Now, an investor would have made gains if he invested in Titan at beginning of June 2017 or even in late 2020.
