BIGGEST CRASHES IN SENSEX SHARE PRICE:
In other terms, it can be defined as the biggest market crash. There were many crashes that happened in the past, in which the COVID-19 crash has created more bloodstreams in the market.
1. Harshad Metha Scam (22nd Apr 1992 – 7th May 1993): Market declined from 4467 points to 2219. This made a negative growth of 50%.
2. 2008 Great US Financial Crisis (4th Jan 2008 – 12th Dec 2008): Market declined from 20686 points to 9690, which made a huge 53% degrown in the market.

All the major bloodstream of the market took for a minimum of 1 year and then the recovery happened. Only COVID-19 pandemic hit for 2 month’s time.
Except for the COVID-19 crisis, the other two big crises had only U-Shape recover. Not a V- shape recovery.

The global markets are in positive movement only because of
1. The Government have printed money and making the demand to be in the market.
2. Rights issue of many companies make cash flow and it is seen in financial reports.
3. Share pledges.
4. Many traders have opened the DEMAT account to earn in the time of lockdown. In India, almost 6 lakhs of new DEMAT accounts have been opened in the last 3 months.
BENEFITS FOR LONG TERM INVESTORS:
Sensex share price over 35 year’s performance might have given us a better idea on how a long term investor can be benefited from this market cycle.
There are two types of investors, they are Stayed Investor and Intelligent Investor. Let us discuss these types;
Always keep in mind, an investor should be aware of the price to earnings per share (P/E ratio) on his investing.
STAYED INVESTORS:
· The investor who systematically invest some amount every month without any analysis of market condition or P/E ratio.
· They think they will be benefited on both, market growth and market fall when they keep on investing.
· For those stayed investors, the return will not be 12.87% per year. The maximum they would have got is 10% interest per annum.
INTELLIGENT INVESTORS:
· Intelligent investors are those who don’t invest all the time in the Market. They wait for an opportunity in the market.
· The market always provide us the opportunity to buy in share market in intrinsic value.
· Apart from the above mentioned Share market crash, the market has given many opportunities in the last 5 years.
§ Demonetization – 6% down.
§ 2018 China-US Trade war – 6.7% fall
§ 2019 Union Budget – 4% fall
· Intelligent Investors always follow only one formula. When everyone is busy in the market they just watch deeply and when everyone watches the market, they will be busy.
· They always see market P/E value of the market and move towards the market for investing.
· Before all the big crashes, the P/E of Sensex Share price was above 23 times the earnings. After the correction P/E came down to 15-16.
· Intelligent Investors always stop investing when P/E reached 20 and start investing when it comes down to 18 or lesser.
· In higher side, they know to rebalance the capital gain and park in debt funds when the market is on the higher side. Then invest all the amount from debt fund to equity when the market corrects.
CONCLUSION:
· The Sensex Share price has cleared our minds. Only long term investors will be gained by the share market.
· Be an intelligent investor, know the market and gain as much as the market provides.
· Invest by the intrinsic value and analyzing the P/E ratio.
· As an intelligent investor, learn the best technique of rebalancing. When our fellow investors are in degrowth. We can be gaining through fixed income instruments.
