Day Trader. Institutional Sales. Algo Trader. Long only fund. Hedge fund. Commodities king. Derivatives strategist. Equity Research.
All of the above terms have become hot once again. Despite the pandemic all over the world markets are seeing a huge influx of the millennial day trader. People who have never dabbled in the financial markets before are now deeply invested. Whether in India or abroad, this is a new phenomenon. It is the first time that we are seeing record account openings during a market crash.
Since the March lows, markets are back up and how. The indices in the US are at record highs and it seems as if no virus has touched the market. (But is it really so?) 25-26 year old newbies minting lacs of rupees every month has become a talking point on Twitter.
There is a case to build a long term career in the financial markets. We believe it is a great time to evaluate whether you are truly suited for a career in this field. Also, it is important to understand what this field is all about. And we have a veteran to help you.
Kenneth Serrao left his high paying job and his sports car at a moment's notice to be part of the great Indian equity market in 2002. He believes it was a defining decade from 2002-2012 in Indian equity market history. An IIM Ahmedabad graduate, Kenneth has worn many hats as a professional within the financial markets and also an entrepreneur. These 5 sessions with him promise to be full of insight and stories. If you have seen his 3 videos on our channel you know this is something you just cannot miss.
Here's a message from Kenneth to you.
