It is not because they are ignorant or lack the requisite skills to understand the factors affecting this market, but mainly because they get misleading information from market players and financial intermediaries. Consequently, these entities thrive and flourish, leaving the investor wringing his hands, wondering where all the money has gone.

No more lies! This book is your window to the equity market from a completely different perspective and earn your fair share of stock market return.
