Ajay Vora, Executive Vice President and Head — Equities, Nuvama Asset Management, says a consolidation phase is happening. If you're looking to invest, focus on areas where growth forecasts are improving and visibility is increasing. For example, banks are currently in a value phase, but investing in them requires a longer-term perspective. Your investment strategy will guide your choices, but there are good opportunities available in the market. What to make of this weakness in some of the financials? Everyone says the valuation is comfortable and the worse with respect to asset quality is perhaps over. The competition from MFI, etc, also has come down. Then why are people still not interested in buying some of these financials afresh? Ajay Vora: It is clearly the lack of growth. If you look at the largest private sector bank which reported the numbers, the NII growth was less than 10%, the PAT growth was around 2%. Until the time we do not get clarity on the growth, valuations may look cheap but I think that is clearly not the reason for someone to get in unless and until we get more clarity on the growth coming in the next few quarters.

Norman Vincent Peale, an American clergyman who wrote a bestselling self-help book that revolutionised how Americans perceived themselves, their society and government — faith and self-confidence can make individuals as well as the nation affluent. 'The Power of Positive Thinking', published in 1952, right after Americans had emerged out of the Great Depression, rivalled the sales of the Bible in its initial years and has been a perennial bestseller. Peale's philosophy of paring religious belief with self-belief encouraged people to get successful by correcting their attitude through prayer, visualisation and self-motivation. "“Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture… Do not build up obstacles in your imagination,” Peale wrote.
