Mumbai: Furious pounding of keyboards, quick reflexes and attempts to keep a strong heart were the order of the day through the three hundred and thirty minute ride on Thursday.
Retail investors on the other hand, are shaken but not stirred.
"I am feeling bad, but am sure that the markets will see a correction in the next 2 to 3 days," said an investor.
For a retail investor, this kind of volatility is a loss-making proposition.
"It is the END not AND. The Bull Run is over. We can only make predictions like we do with the clouds and the rain. I am clueless, just like every other retail investor," said an investor at Geojit Securities, a brokerage firm in suburban Mumbai.
Despite the dejected comments, Friday's reaction is a sharp contrast to what the country saw two years back on Black Monday, when traders took to the street and all hell broke loose as the sensex tanked 564 points.
Despite a 826 point fall, investors aren't in despair this time as some confident investors comment:
"In the last 3 to 4 days I have lost 15,000 rupees but am sure I will recover it".
"I lost about a 1000 rupees today, but am sure there will be a correction".
A 826 point nose dive and yet analysts say that if you are planning for long term investments, you have nothing to worry about.
