For many Indian retail investors, holding cash while waiting for the Nifty 50 or BSE Sensex to suffer a steep correction feels like prudent risk management. However, empirical market studies show that waiting for the &ldquo;perfect bottom&rdquo; almost always costs more in lost compounding than entering at an all-time high.</p>
