'With 2 to 5% allocation Bitcoin good addition to investor's portfolio'

Die-hard equity pundits may have been denouncing cryptocurrencies as a giant scam but Bitcoin has emerged as a clear leader and having a small portion of digital currency in one's portfolio could be a smart move, claims a new book. In "Investing Decoded: Simple Path to Building A Portfolio in Millions", Anirudh Rathore provides a beginner's guide to acquiring the tools and mindset required to start securing one's financial future. Taking risks, according to the author, is a key part of investing. He encourages investors to see the market as a tool for long-term success and to stick to their choices rather than changing stocks frequently, which can hurt performance. Rathore, who taught himself to invest during the uncertainties of the pandemic, emphasises that one doesn't need a finance degree to start growing money. He suggests starting investing as soon as one starts earning, even if it's a small amount. "I know it sounds easier to say than to actually accomplish it but all those

Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) continued their buying spree and poured close to Rs 4,800 crore in the Indian equity markets in the first week of January driven by confidence in the country's robust economic fundamentals.
