Surat, July 11 – The Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SGCCI) organized a special seminar titled "The Art and Science of Exiting the Stock Market" at Samhati, Sarsana, aimed at educating investors on effective market exit strategies. The session featured Rohan Mehta, CEO and Fund Manager at Turtle Wealth, who provided practical and technical insights on making informed decisions about entering and exiting the stock market.
Chairing the event, SGCCI President Nikhil Madrasi emphasized that while investors often focus solely on the timing of entry, the success of any investment largely depends on a well-thought-out exit strategy. He noted that SGCCI’s objective is to deepen investor awareness on such crucial aspects of trading and investing.
Keynote speaker Rohan Mehta explained that exiting the stock market is not merely about taking profits; it is a calculated decision driven by timing, rationale, and emotional discipline. He pointed out that many investors miss the ideal exit window due to greed and later incur losses due to fear during market downturns.
Mehta introduced participants to the "Exit Mantra" toolkit, which includes criteria such as zone analysis, scoring methods, ratings, and stop-loss mechanisms. He stressed the importance of setting clear investment goals and defining stop-loss levels in advance. Even when a trade is in profit, continuous evaluation is essential to determine whether it’s the right time to exit.
Highlighting the behavior of professional investors, Mehta noted that consistent portfolio monitoring and strategic reallocation are critical for effective risk management. He also discussed key psychological and financial concepts such as capital erosion, opportunity cost, and self-doubt, which often influence investor behavior.
The event was structured by Group Chairman Kamlesh Gajera. Capital and Commodity Market Committee Chairman Ayub Yakub Ali introduced the speakers, while Co-Chairman Dipesh Parikh conducted the session. The seminar concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Balkrishna Vaghasia.
Participating investors actively engaged with the topic, raising questions related to exit strategies, and received in-depth answers from the expert speaker, making the session both interactive and insightful. The seminar was lauded as a valuable initiative to help investors make smarter, more disciplined financial decisions.
