"Don't miss the forest for the trees", said Sanjiv Bhasin, while citing the stock market's optimistic scenario by the next year. He reiterated that next 18 months will further go up, and mid caps will specially grow 2, 3, 4 times.

According to Bhasin, "Equity as an asset class is very good, and India equities, especially, will outperform," adding that "January onwards, global rally will start and India will lead from front not from the behind."

When Anil Singhvi asked for the specific reasons behind this global rally, Bhasin cited a few reasons given below:

1. We have witnessed lowest cost of funds in the last five years and a lot of funds is still lying as negative yield asset.

2. Global stocks markets have been affected by the US-China trade war, but this scenario is easing now.

3. The base effect has been so low, and there is no asset class

4. BRICS, which is an association of five major emerging economies, including Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, lead the global rally.  

5. FII selling that we witnessed in the last 6 to 8 month will come back again and will boost the stock market.
