Will the Sensex make a new high at some point?

Yes.

Will the Sensex hit 100,000?

Yes.

Will it hit 200,000?

Yes, again.

Isn’t that incredible?

It is. It’s mind-blowing. It’s the kind of long-term certainty that most investors crave. The best part? Right now, you get to invest at lower prices.

Isn’t this all you need to know?

Not quite. There’s one missing piece.

By When?

That’s the only variable. The only thing that causes anxiety. The only reason investors hesitate.

If someone told you exactly when the Sensex would hit 100,000, you would feel calm. You’d hold your investments without second-guessing. You’d buy more when prices dip. You’d know that, in time, your wealth would multiply.

But since no one can give you that precise date, doubt creeps in.

Not knowing “by when” makes us feel we must do something. Sell. Time the market. React to headlines. Adjust strategies that don’t need adjusting.

That’s the trap.

The market will go up. That is certain.

The market will go down. That is also certain.

Corrections, crashes, and recoveries are all part of the journey. They always have been. They always will be.

But here’s the most important truth: The investors who win are the ones who stay the course.

Not just in bull markets.

Not just when everything looks perfect.

But in moments like these—when doubt is in the air, when headlines scream fear, when others hesitate.

This is when wealth is built.

The market doesn’t reward impatience. It rewards discipline.

Every major high the Sensex has ever hit once seemed impossible.

People doubted 10,000. Then 20,000. Then 50,000.

Now, people hesitate at 100,000.

A few years from now, they’ll hesitate at 200,000.

History repeats itself.

The question isn’t whether the market will go higher. It will.

The question is whether you’ll stay invested long enough to benefit from it.

This is why the only thing you need to do is stay the course.

If you can, buy more.

If you can’t, hold on.

But whatever you do, don’t let short-term uncertainty shake you out of long-term opportunity.

Because at the end of the day, the only thing that’s missing is “by when.”

And that shouldn’t stop you from making the right decisions today.
