What is your Philosophy when it comes to Investing?

The Itch 3rd February 2023
So, there I was yesterday sitting at a hotel waiting for friends to arrive. One good thing about waiting these days is that you no longer are bored because there is always something on social media to read about. I on the other hand was checking not social media but Kite (Zerodha App) to see […]
