Look beyond the obvious and think long term: 8 large-cap stocks with an upside potential of up to 54%

The intensity of the India-Pakistan conflict has gone up a couple of notches in the last 48 hours. And it may take some time for matters to be resolved. So, the chances are that the market will remain under pressure in the short term. However, focusing on the short term is the biggest mistake you can make at this juncture. If you are looking to put in fresh money, identify a combination of stocks from sectors which are going to do well because of conflict and from others where the demand has an element of annuity and the business will thus grow at all times.
