"When odds are favourable, go for the jugular": Anshul Saigal stays bullish despite volatility

FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), market expert Anshul Saigal, Founder of Saigal Capital remains steadfast in his conviction: ignore the noise, focus on risk-reward, and when the moment is right, “go for the jugular.”

In a candid interaction with ETNow, Saigal, who brings over two decades of market experience to the table, emphasized that great investment decisions stem from conviction, not prediction. Drawing inspiration from investing legend Stanley Druckenmiller, Saigal quoted, “When the odds are favourable, go for the jugular.”

He explained, “What he means by that is that when the odds are in your favour, take the stocks and the asset class that you are looking to invest in by the throat and load up.”

He also dismissed short-term speculation and reiterated the power of long-term investing. “If there is one thing which I have learned in my 20 plus years of investing in the equity markets,” he said, “it is that trying to predict direction is a futile exercise… What is better is to just see companies where risk-reward is favourable.”

Despite uncertainty in the short term, Saigal’s outlook remains optimistic. “I do not know whether the direction is going to change in the short term—one month, two months, three months or what,” he noted, “but when I speak with companies and I listen to their commentary on outlook for the next three, four, five years, they are just so bullish that I find no reason to worry.”
