“Staying away from large-cap IT when it appeared cheap a few months ago helped our portfolio.” Avoiding large-cap IT stocks when they appeared attractively valued a few months ago. However, given the market’s current expectations, what if these stocks emerge as major outperformers going forward?
If we see evidence to believe so, we won’t hesistate to participate. Right now, our mid tier niche iT plays have worked well. Thanks, Vidya
