The National Stock Exchange's Nifty ended in the negative territory for second straight session as the announcement by Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou to hold a referendum on latest bailout plan rattled global markets.

According to experts, the European economic crisis seems to be far from over and the markets may witness intermediate sharp pull-back rallies on the back of any positive news.

Well as far as what the European economies have got themselves into the mess that they are into is not something which is going to get sorted out anytime soon definitely not tomorrow day after next week, next month.

It is going to be a prolonged phase of perhaps I would say couple of years if not a longer. So we will keep trailing from one problem to the other and in between you may any sort of whiff of good news and we may have some sort of corrective rallies with some sort of short covering so that is what I would characterize the current rally.

He added that investors can sit on cash even now and adopt buy on declines strategy with long term horizon in mind. His advice for "brave traders" is to go short on rallies.

"It is still time to sit on large doses of cash even now. For brave traders, I would even suggest to use the bounces as shorting opportunities, not that I am a proponent of shorting.

I would definitely not be a buyer as yet, yet it is a buy on declines market from somebody who has a longer term horizon upwards of may be one and a half-two years or even longer. But I sense that the markets will give you enough of those opportunities going forward also.
