When I opened my first Demat account (the digital account that holds your shares and ETF units), I genuinely thought I was done with the hard part. Then a colleague told me he was doing a SIP in an equity mutual fund, while my cousin insisted ETFs were cheaper and smarter. Two people, two answers, and one very confused salaried guy staring … Read more >>

When I first opened a Demat account, I had the same thought many new Indian investors have: should I buy shares on the NSE or BSE and hold them for years, or should I trade daily and make quicker profits?

One day I was hearing about a demat account, then SIPs, then NSE and BSE, and suddenly everyone sounded like they had already cracked wealth creation.
