years back. Through monthly SIPs of `5,000 in
mutual funds, he has accumulated a corpus

his savings of `2 lakh in one go and capitalise on the dip,
or play it safe. He was also contemplating if he should
aggressively invest in stocks right now.
Sumit is hardly alone. Equity markets have been chop-

opportune time to go all in and invest. So, should he take
the plunge, or can this strategy backfire? Let's find out.
