The stock market’s average return is a cool 10% annually — better than you can find in a bank account or bonds. So why do so many people fail to earn that 10%, despite investing in the stock market? Many don't stay invested long enough.
The key to making money in stocks is remaining in the stock market. Your length of “time in the market” is the best predictor of your total performance. A majority of U.S. investors who participated in the June 2021 Gallup Investor Optimism Index survey agreed -- 89% said: "time in the market" was better than "timing the market" for making money.
Unfortunately, many people often move in and out of the stock market at the worst possible times, missing out on annual returns.
To make money investing in stocks, stay invested
More time equals more opportunity for your investments to go up. The best companies tend to increase their profits over time, and investors reward these greater earnings with a higher stock price. That higher price translates into a return for investors who own the stock.
Oil will probably remain reasonably strong: Westminster Asset Management's Jonathan Schiessl
Jonathan Schiessl, Deputy CIO of Westminster Asset Management, expects oil to "probably remain reasonably strong". However, in the very short term, easing oil will certainly take some inflationary pressure off the Fed and other central banks to ease rates, he says.
"Clearly, oil at the moment is certainly pricing in or beginning to price in something happening in Ukraine, which, if doesn't happen, could easily send the price falling by $10-15 per barrel. Now, we're certainly not going to go back to $60 a barrel because we all know the issues within under-investment in the sector over the last few years," he adds.

Trideep Bhattacharya, Co-CIO (Equities) at Edelweiss Mutual Fund, says he was always constructive on equities for 2022 but also well prepared for volatility. Weakness or volatility that we see in equities in the first half should be used as an opportunity to buy on dips but in tranches.

"Between banks and NBFCs, we are relatively more positive on banks and that's how most of our portfolios are stuck at the moment. We are certainly in those cases where we still have room to add; we are using the dips to add," he says.
