According to the BBC report, two years ago, on the advice of his bank adviser, Rajesh Kumar removed his savings – fixed deposits – and mutual funds, stocks and bonds were transferred.

In an article published on Thursday, the BBC added: With the fast in the stock market in India, Mr. Kumar, an engineer based in Bihar, joined millions of investment in publicly traded companies. Six years ago, only one out of 14 Indian families turned their savings into a stock market – now, this is one of the five.

But the maize has changed.

For six months, Indian markets raised prices, prices remained high, revenue was weakened, and global capital was transferred to China, which cleared the price of 900 billion investors since the rise of September. While the fall began before US President Donald Trump’s prices announced, more details have now become a major drag.

India’s benchmark Nifty 50 share index, which tracks the country’s top 50 public trade companies, continues its longest defeat in 29 years, which has decreased in five straight months. This is a significant decline in one of the world’s fastest growing markets. The BBC report states that stock brokers are reporting that their activity has been less than a third.

“For more than six months now, my investment has been in red. Mr Kumar says it is the worst experience in the last decade that I have been invested in the stock market.

Mr Kumar, 55, now has a little money in the bank, and most of his savings have been transferred to the stock market. In July, his son’s INR1.8 million (, 20,650;, 16,150) with a private medical college fee, he worries about selling investment in loss to hide it. He says, “Once the market is recovered, I’m thinking of transferring some money back to the bank.”

Its troubles reflect the millions of middle-class Indians who have entered the stock market from large and small cities-which is part of the financial revolution.

According to the BBC report, the outgoing investment route is systematic investment projects (SIPs), where funds collect a monthly partnership. The number of Indians investing through SIPs has increased by 100 million, which has been carved by 34 million trans five years ago. Many for the first time investors, who were lure by the promise of high profits, are limited with danger awareness-often affected by the wave of social media “fanflowers” on a platform like Instagram and YouTube, which is a mixed bag of experts and similar experts.

Retired Marketing Manager, Meet the Tarun government, and you get a glimpse of the new Indian investor.

When his Public Providence Fund-backed tax-free investment-free investment-solid last year, he found a way to secure his retirement. The stock market was burned with the losses of the past, turning to mutual funds – this time with the advisor’s help and a happy market.

“I have put 80 % of my savings into mutual funds, with only 20 % in the bank. Now my adviser has warned me – don’t test your investment for six months, unless you want a heart attack!”

For now, Mr Sarkar is not fully convinced whether to move his retirement fund to the stock market was the right decision. “I am ignorant and confident,” he says with a variable. “What is happening and why the market is reacting to this way is ignorant, still confident because Instagram ‘experts’ make a sound like a fast track for millions of people. At the same time, I know that I am trapped in a fraud and hype net.

Mr Sarkar says he was attracted to markets through enthusiastic chatter in TV shows hypeting stocks and WhatsApp groups. He says, “TV anchors talk in the market and people in my WhatsApp group are proud of the benefits of their stock market.”

At its wide -ranging apartment complex, even young people discuss investment – in fact, during the Badminton game, a teenage young man gave him a hot tip on telecom stocks. “When you hear it all around you, you start thinking – why not shot it? So I did, and then the markets crashed.

Mr. Government lives in hope. “My fingers have crossed. I am sure the markets will recover, and my fund will come back to green. There are others who have taken more risk and lost money already. An accounting clerk belonging to a small industrial town in Western India, Ramesh, has been named Ramesh, Ramesh, Ramesh.

YouTube’s influence bent, he traded in stock and derivatives. This month, after a loss of more than $ 1,800 – more than his annual salary – he closed his brokerage account and swore from the market.

He says, “I have borrowed this money, and now the lenders are behind me.”

Ramesh is one of the 11 million Indians who lost the future and powers of $ 20 billion before stepping into regulators.

Financial adviser Sameer Doshi says, “This accident is the opposite during the prevailing disease.” At that time, we had a clear way to recover vaccinations on the horizon. But with Trump’s factor in the game, uncertainty is facing – we just don’t know what is next.

Fuel, investment has become more accessible through digital platforms, low-cost brokerage and government-driven financial inclusion-smartphones and user-friendly apps have made it easier to attend market, which has developed a wider, young audience seeking alternatives to traditional assets.

Flip side, many new Indian investors need to examine the truth. “The stock market is not a gambling dean – you have to manage expectations,” says the author and financial teacher, Monica Hallon. “Just invest in equity that you will not need for at least seven years. If you are taking risk, understand the negative aspect: How much can I lose? Can I afford this loss?

The market accident could not kill the middle class of India at a bad time. Economic growth is slowing down, wages are stable, private investment is slow for years and job creation is not intact. Among these challenges, many new investors, who are lure by growing markets, are now suffering from unexpected losses.

“In ordinary times, the savings may be short -term shocks, as they have a permanent income, which continues to increase their savings,” a financial analyst noted by Anandio Chakra -security.

“Now, we are in the midst of a massive economic crisis for the middle class. On the one hand, white -collar job opportunities are decreasing, and the rise are less. On the other hand, the real inflation facing middle -class families – as the government has compiled, contrary to the average retail inflation. Currently the stock market reform is disastrous for medium -class domestic financial matters. Financial advisers like Jedip Marat believe that some people will start taking money from the market and if the volatility continues for six to eight months, they will move them to the bank’s safe reserves. “We are spending a lot of time to eliminate customers and understand it as a dizzy event.”

But clearly, not all hope is gone – most people believe that the market is correcting itself with previous heights.

Experienced market expert Ajay Baga says sales of foreign investors have declined since February, which shows that market misery may be closer to its elimination. After the correction, many of the stock market index prices have dropped less than their 10 -year average, giving some respite.

Mr Begiga expects GDP and corporate revenue to improve, which will help reduce B 12bn income tax cheaper and interest rates in the federal budget. However, geographical political risks – the Middle East and the Ukraine conflicts, and Trump’s prices – will keep investors careful. Finally, market error can work a difficult lesson for new investors.

“This correction is a very essential wake-up call for people who entered the market just three years ago, enjoying a 25 percent profit-this is not common,” says Ms. If you do not understand the markets, keep on bank reserves and gold. At least you have control. “News News Desk
