A common mistake that many people do while trying to invest in the stock market is thinking that a stock has a limit of growth. When a share is at its 52-week or all-time high, it never means that it can’t grow further. In fact, the reason it is there is that the company is doing well, and its fundamentals are strong.
So, as an investor, if you are looking forward to out your money in a company, it should be based on calculations and understanding of its business model and fundamentals. And not on speculations. You can very well see my fact from the Infosys’s share itself. It touched a 52-week high at around Rs 970 and went down for a bit and rose again.
