Stock Market: A Beginner’s Guide to Building Wealth
Example: If you bought Infosys shares years ago at ₹100, today they’re worth several thousand — because the company grew massively.
Why Do People Invest in the Stock Market?
-
Wealth Creation – Stocks generally give better returns than fixed deposits, gold, or savings accounts.
-
Ownership in Businesses – You can be a shareholder in giant companies like TCS, Reliance, Apple, or Google.
-
Passive Income – Some companies pay dividends (a part of profits) to shareholders.
-
Beating Inflation – Stock returns (historically 10–15% annually in India) are much higher than inflation (5–6%).
Final Thoughts The stock market is not gambling, it’s a skill. With the right knowledge, patience, and discipline, anyone can grow wealth. Start small, learn every day, and think long-term. Remember — the earlier you start, the more time your money has to grow.
