Investing in the stock markets is the new vogue. Economic and job uncertainties due to Covid-19 have left the young vying for “alternate” and “quick” money-making options. On the flip side, those with salaries piling into their bank accounts due to a restricted lifestyle have also taken to Dalal Street to double-triple their savings. With memestocks such as Zomato which gave listing gains of 70%, and Reddit threads that promise that everyone can become “the wolf of wall street”, young have gravitated towards the stock market.
These are primarily first-time investors, around 22–30-year-olds, ringing in dozens of trades at lightning speed off their mobile phones. Why? Because returns on traditional investments like savings deposits and mutual funds apart remain low. Investing in property markets requires a pretty penny and navigating India’s complex taxation system not to mention there is hardly any instant gratification. In short, stock markets are lucrative and an easy bet for the young.
But what do they say about not putting all your eggs in one basket? At a time of increasing uncertainty, investors and brokers advise young to diversify their portfolios and financial plans.
Organizations such as the Farsight group encourage young investors to a variety of options and customize their portfolios based on their needs.
