Investors are always on a quest to find the next big thing in the markets.
Finding stocks that can multiply your original investment cost many times, commonly known as multibaggers, is the holy grail for many investors.
But to find and own such stocks, one must remember that the money is not in buying and selling, but in holding.
Renowned investor and billionaire Warren Buffett was quoted as saying:
If you are not thinking about owning a stock for ten years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes.
He strongly believes that one must hold his investments for a longer period of time to witness the taste of the composition.
In the last decade, the stock market has thrown multiple opportunities in front of investors to become a millionaire or even a billionaire.
Those who were sitting down and holding high-quality stocks during tough times would have made massive returns on their investments.

How to identify multi-bagger stocks
As a retail investor, if you are looking for stocks from multiple exchanges in India, you need to weigh all the pros and cons before investing in any company.
The objective of an investor should be to find a good investment and not necessarily a multibagger. This is because you need to have a comprehensive investment process that meets all of your criteria.
If you go in with the assumption that every stock you invest in will be a multibagger, you will be disappointed. It won’t work that way.
The future is uncertain. Your justification for buying a stock may change and you will have to be careful about that.
The idea should be to buy a good quality stock in a company, look for a business that has a solid foundation, a solid growth strategy, attractive valuations, ethical business practices, and an exceptional management team.
As long as these factors are in place, you should stay invested for the long term rather than being agitated by short-term market volatility and price fluctuations.
