*A ₹5,000 monthly SIP won’t feel powerful in the first 5 years.* Returns look boring. Growth feels slow. Doubt creeps in. Then compounding flips. After a point, a single-day market move equals your entire monthly SIP. That’s when money starts working harder than you. Most people quit right before this phase. Wealth isn’t built by big starts. It’s built by staying consistent when times are tough.

NEW YEAR IS ALL ABOUT "CHOICES" WE MAKE Choosing to live our life by our own choice is the greatest freedom we will ever have. The choices we make by accident are just as important as the choices we make by design. Take a few moments today to listen to your heart and choose what's right, not what's popular. As you ring in the New Year, consider these choices and how you will make them in 2017… • JOKES you choose to share, and not to share. • DEROGATORY terms you choose to use, and refuse to use. • PROMISES you choose to break, and the ones you keep. • RUMORS you choose to spread, and those you ignore. • RESOURCES you choose to waste, and those you use wisely. • TRUTH you choose to tell, and choose to hide. • RESPONSIBILITIES you choose to accept, and those you shrink. • COURTESIES you choose to extend, and fail to extend. • EFFORTS you choose to put forth, and not put forth. • QUALITY you choose to provide, and the corners you cut. • INFORMATION you choose to share, and that which you hoard. • LISTENING you choose to do, and not to do. • RESPECT you choose to give, and fail to give. • HANDS you choose to extend, and those you keep in our pockets. Remember, there are no good choices or bad choices in life. Only choices we have are ones we can live with. I hope you make the wise ones this year and years to come.

📌 1. Market Closed for Christmas NSE & BSE are closed today (Dec 25) in observance of Christmas, so no trading is taking place in Indian equity, commodity, or derivative segments. 📉 2. Recent Market Performance & Weakness Sensex and Nifty have been underperforming recently, lagging many Asian markets including Pakistan and China — raising questions about valuation and investor sentiment. In the latest session before the holiday, Sensex closed lower and Nifty dipped, with heavyweight stocks like RIL and ICICI Bank dragging indices down. The Economic Times 💡 3. Market Valuation Concerns A study found that around two-thirds of Nifty 500 stocks are trading in an overvalued zone, signaling potential risks if valuations correct. The Economic Times 🌍 4. Positive Capital Markets Data India topped global IPO volumes in November, leading in number of listings and ranking second in total funds raised — a positive signal for the primary markets. The Economic Times What this means for investors: With markets closed today, focus shifts to global cues and valuation signals that could influence resume-trade on Friday. Recent weakness and overvaluation in parts of the market suggest caution amid thin holiday trading. Strong IPO activity underlines continued capital market interest and confidence in India, even if secondary markets are choppy.
