As the world grapples with Covid-19 and financial markets turn volatile, does this mean it’s time to kiss our dreams goodbye? No plush 3BHK, new 4-wheel drive or early retirement?
Historical data suggests quite the opposite. If you study the chart below, you’ll notice that from 2008 to 2020 multiple crises caused the markets to fall multiple times. But you’ll also notice that they bounced back. Through the constant volatility over a decade, the Sensex nevertheless rose, creating wealth for investors who stayed invested for the long term.
