Book Summary
This comprehensive yet approachable guide is designed to demystify how stock exchanges function (notably in India), and to explain key concepts in investments and derivatives. Raghunathan breaks down foundational topics like the time value of money, cash flow analysis, share valuation, portfolio construction, diversification, and basic derivative instruments. It adopts a Q&A format—answering 100+ common questions—to equip readers with clarity and confidence in evaluating options, spotting misleading advice, and making informed investment decisions. The tone remains practical and reader-friendly: ideal for beginners or students seeking a grounded understanding without the intention to “get rich quick” .
