My thoughts on trading Canara bank Shares: Short, Mid or Long term?
The Canara Bank is a centralised Bank and hence the capital inflow is stagnant without much disruption. It is always safe to invest in the shares of a bank regulated by the government. The market prices might rise and fall every 3rd hour but Canara Bank maintains a consistency in holding the second most sold share in banking sector after SBI.
Looking at the 5 years chart, I do not see much of a progress. Infact, we are down from 200 INR to below 150 INR in a 5 years range.
I would only trade Canara bank shares mid and short term. I would not look into it from a long term investment perspective.
