Retail investors to be the flagbearers of the Indian stock market

Image
  By Sandeep Bhardwaj T he bull run we witnessed from 2003-08 was the longest. We saw the benchmark index  Nifty 50  rising from 1000 odd points to a peak of over 6,000. This was followed by the Lehman Brothers’ collapse that triggered the Global Financial crisis (GFC). We also saw a massive fall in the markets worldwide. The  market  observed a similar bull run from the post-COVID period to date, witnessing some volatility due to rate hikes, oil price spikes, and geopolitical tensions.  The difference this time around was the strength from within.
