Investing your hard earned money for your cherished goals such as children’s future (education/marriage) or retirement is not the same as trading.
Investing is not an impatient 20–20 cricket game. It is more a Test Match Series.
The best approach is to invest in equity mutual funds at a low cost. Direct Plans give you that benefit as there are no broker commissions. You save upto 1.5% per year which means that you get a portfolio that is 40% more than ‘regular investors’.
