1. Stay Calm: Experts emphasize that panic selling only locks in losses. Investors should hold steady and reassess portfolios.

2. Consider Fresh Investments: The current dip may present new buying opportunities in strong fundamentals-driven stocks.

3. Avoid US-Dependent Companies: Stocks reliant on the American economy, especially export-heavy sectors, may underperform.

4. Exit IT Sector: IT companies, heavily reliant on US growth, are currently not a safe bet.

5. Focus on Indian-Growth Sectors: Private and public sector banks driven by domestic demand are seen as stable options.

6. Prefer Large-Caps Over Mid-Caps: Large-cap companies offer greater stability and resilience in volatile times.

7. Avoid Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin and other crypto assets are highly volatile and not ideal during uncertain markets.

8. Be Cautious with Gold: A projected 5% decline in gold and silver prices weakens their short-term appeal.

9. Look to Local Consumer-Focused Firms: Indian brands catering to domestic consumption offer promise.

10. Bet on Tourism & Oil: Hotel, travel, and oil companies are expected to yield solid returns in the 2–3 year horizon.

Experts suggest patience, strategy, and domestic focus as the pillars of resilience during this financial downturn.
