Right time to shift from fixed income securities into equities, said Ambareesh Baliga, independent market expert.

Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Baliga said that one should get into a mix of stocks like largecaps and B-group stocks as well.

All of 2017, I was booking profits and by end of the year, was into 50 percent cash and as of today, I am almost fully invested and the prices are mouthwatering," Baliga said.

At this point of time, it's not just spare cash that you require, but you also need guts and conviction to stay invested in this market. More importantly, train the mind to ignore the pain, which is there and only then can one become a winner in this market, added Baliga.
