Being an Indian and investing in Shares

Image
                        I have barely heard any normal Indian (called as Retail Investor) speaking about nuances of share market or an idea of investing in there. Top corporates, MBA graduates, foreign investors etc have been major active participants driving our Share (Capital) market. For a normal Indian, its an arena where one requires luck (Investment doubling in a month) or virtual operation is always deceptive or you get Jackpot/Nothing kind of views. We can arguably put the views into one word - 'Casino/Lottery'. Means he still cant understand the basic functioning of the market. Is it their mistake not trying it to understand ? But actually its the mistake of the market in itself with such complexity and volatility that even a market expert sits in for a continuous deep research to come out with near-exact predictions. So where does they park their savings now ?                 ...

Whom else should I Vote ??

                                A Pan-India question highly vocal in last decade. Despite being conscious-victims to Money/Caste/Religion/Dynasty-based politics, they always do that with this dilemma. Victims range from middle to poor classes of society.

                                Dhoni - the word's power has been growing day by day since his entry into cricket in 2004. As he entered the ground with a long hair, no fan would have expected him to have contributed this much to cricket. When Indian team was long devoid of a Batsman-Wicket keeper on likes of Gilchrist, Dhoni proved his entry scoring 148 against Pakistan and 183 against Srilanka. When India was devoid of a Captain after 2007 worst world cup exit, Dhoni filled the heels with 2007 T20 World cup triumph. When India lost matches by 50 to 60 runs everytime, Dhoni decided to become Batsman-Wicket keeper (cum) Finisher on likes of Bevan and Hussey. Is it not a miracle in world cricket where one man adding each role to his cadre one by one whenever team needs it badly. I look to unveil some of such Dhoni's miracles both as a fan and an admirer. He acted not against traditions in cricket but added v...
