Most of the pundits feel that it is a good move but still they are not sure about this move. As you are aware that the global financial system is in mess and all the nations around the world are trying their level best to keep things afloat. None of them are certain about the outcome and all that they are doing is to ensure that the economy of their nation does not get into recession. Continue reading →

Financial Goal – 8th and 9th Week

I was on a vacation hence I could not update my blog. I am back in business after a week of relaxation. 🙂

Week 8 was not a good one. Things were really bad and I did not remove the money from market and week 9 seems to be good and I checked my share’s status and found that there is nothing significant that has happened. My shares are still in red. 😦 Continue reading →
