Stock Market 101: A Beginner's Roadmap
New to the market? Learn how to start investing in stocks safely, understand market cycles, and build a diversified portfolio.
The stock market is often seen as a casino, but for the informed investor, it's the greatest wealth-building machine ever created. In 2026, diversification and long-term thinking are your best defenses against volatility.
Understanding Bull and Bear Markets
Market cycles are natural. A bull market is characterized by rising prices and optimism, while a bear market sees falling prices and pessimism. Successful investors don't time the market; they spend time in the market.
Building a Diversified Portfolio
Never put all your eggs in one basket. Divide your investments across sectors (Tech, Healthcare, Finance) and asset classes (Equity, Debt, Gold). This reduces the impact of a single poorly performing investment on your overall wealth.
