A disturbing trend in the market in recent days is the rise of low-grade stocks – the so-called ‘cats & dogs’ of the market. Some companies in debt trap and heading for bankruptcy and some already there are being pushed up by the new breed of retail investors. Market history tells us that these ‘cats & dogs’ will be butchered in a bear ambush. Since valuations are high a bear ambush may happen anytime. So investors have to be extremely careful while playing the small-cap game. Bluechips will recover from a bear ambush but cats & dogs will be slaughtered.
