Once again, it's time for Wealth Insight's special anniversary issue--100 pages of the best stock investment writing and advice you will get in India. It was eleven long years ago that the inaugural issue of Wealth Insight was launched. A lot has happenned during these years. The Nifty and the Sensex are three times higher and some bellweather stocks like HDFC Bank have multiplied their investors' money 11X. On the other hand, some erstwhile members of these indices like Reliance Communications have lost 90+ per cent of their value.
During these years, we have seen the worst stock market crash in decades, and we are now seeing a new period of action and hope. And yet, the one over-riding lesson of these years is that choosing the right stocks--and sticking to them--is the most important aspect of investing. Whether the markets are doing well or they are doing badly, investors who build their portfolios with a systematic approach make money, others end up with a random selection of stocks that have a random performance.
Here's what we have for you in the special anniversary package of cover stories
- What to do NOW? Your strategy in the current bull market
