I have been Bullish on pharma since Nov, as one can see BSE Healthcare post on the same site link below, simultaneously being Bearish on NIFTY & other sectors. Sure the bearish tweets may have already overwhelmed you by now 😅 If & when I change my stance on any Index, will post.
So a comparison with any market is unfair as every country is on different growth curve. Consider this, BSE Healthcare is -3% from top, Telecom -8% (Jio not part of this), IT -17% vs 46% drop in Bankex. Undoubtedly India can & will continue to remain bottom-up market....(end)
