Let us see how this budget goes, how the government comes out with the fiscal deficit math and manages to prop up the economy by giving something on the demand side or may be on the consumption side, says Jinesh Gopani, Head of Equity, Axis Mutual Fund. Excerpts from an interview with ETNOW. The markets are at an all-time high and economic indicators are at a record low. If earnings recovery is not happening, do you think it is a matter of time before the haloed 10, 15, 25 stocks will come down as well?It is the flow which is keeping the markets strong.

By Dhirendra KumarCEO, Value Research Like clockwork, every time the equity markets are weak (or are being generally accused of it), the SIP doubters raise their head again. In fact, because the total number of SIP investors has grown so fast, the number of doubters is also much larger than in the past. I hope that as time goes by, a higher proportion of mutual fund investors settle down to the concept but for what is supposed to be a simple (and simplifying) idea, there are still way too many misconceptions about the SIP (systematic investment plan) way of investing.
