Historic corrections

NSE:NIFTY   Nifty 50 Index
Hello all.!!

I hope you are in the house waiting for news of control of the NOVEL COVID-19, and also thinking why my portfolio is getting deteriorating.

As stock markets touching new 52-weeks lows everyday, Do you know that the highest fall in stock market was in 2008, which was 65% from it's peak. That was because of financial crisis: companies do not have money to pay to employees and banks gets bankrupt so entire financial system gets imbalanced.

As of now COVID-19 is doing the same, but at present money is not an issue. Let's look at the cycle.
1. Consumer stops consumption as they have lots of restrictions right now(not to travel, stay home)
2. Company stops or reduces manufacturing which leads to supply shortage(at present companies does not reducing it's staff but if in future it requires then they will do).
3. Due to supply shortage sellers are not getting enough material for supply and couldn't earn much(inspite of earning they have to bear the interests of loans they have taken, rent of the offices/house etc).
4. because of reduction in earnings they may start redemption of their savings and will keep buying stuffs as low as possible or as needed as possible.
5. Due to this companies will not get enough customer/consumers and sells will drop significantly. That may lead to step towards recession/economic crisis.
6. Because of less consumption government's GST collection will reduce, which will put government into another headaches. For that reason government may increase taxes.

But because of this all should we panic and sell all ours mutual funds/stocks?
It's really bullish idea to sell at this level, don't you think so? This is the time to add more gems in your portfolio which you were thinking it's too expensive(But let the market bottom out: means at least comes to discount of 50%). This is just my point of perception, other's perception might be different. Tell me in comments what you think about this, and like if it seems helpful.
I've plotted the historic stock market crash from 1991 to 2020, and it's good news that fall remains under 50 to 65% fall.
As on december nifty had mad high at 12430, 50% fall comes at value 6215 which might appear as short term support for nifty.
