Investors need to build long-term portfolio - 1

Finally, the equity market has come under selling pressure and when it happened, it wasn't a pleasant scene.

In the first two trading sessions, the markets went into a selling mode as if there was no future for equity and though there was a mild recovery in Wednesday's trading, the under current was far from comforting.

While the short-term trend continues to be volatile, the time has come for investors to go back to the basics of investing

For a good part of 2007, this was completely forgotten, as the index had turned a sprinter by adding 800-1,000 points in a matter of a few days.
In 2007, big rallies were to the tune of 600-700 points in a day's trading and the Sensex rallied from 17k to 19K in a matter of few trading sessions.
