Moneycontrol Screener: Product Review

Let me tell you a brief history of the Indian stock market. Back in the days when computers were not popular, we still used to trade through floor trading which was also known as Pit; where traders gathered in the exchange physically, where they use to buy and sell security using the open outcry method of trading, i.e a trader would to announce the price at which he wanted to buy and sell any security and other traders use to shout (out-cry) if they were interested in accepting that offer.

But one day, he said, “You give me ₹1000 today, and I’ll give you free ice creams for the next ten years;” the supporting argument being, “today what costs you ₹10 might be ₹25 in the next ten years because prices rise every year.”

Top 5 Banking Stocks in India

Importance of Retirement Planning

As you live, you inspire; when you die, you expire, but before you die, you retire. Retirement is a phase in people's lives that most go into without much forethought.
