Equity can be considered as a reliable source of income. In India, this is a bold statement to make. That is because of lack of equity culture in the country. As compared to the 25 – 30% of the savings which are invested in stock markets in the American and European nations, Indians have about 3 – 4 % only. While, Security and Exchange Board of India has taken certain steps to improve the retail participation in the country, the changes will bare fruits only if the mind set of people changes. In order to change the mind-set, stock market education would play a vital role. It is very important that the retail investor is educated on the various dynamics of the stock market industry. A study done in 2010, revealed that Rs. 10,000 invested in stock markets over 30 years, was able to generate an income of more than Rs. 9 lacs, which surpasses any other investment avenue during that period. In the western world, there are a lot of people who look at stock markets from a career perspective.
