Excerpts from the Preface: Q. How do you make a small fortune in the stock market? A. Start with a large one. A prime example of the Indian stock market’s potential is Infosys. If you subscribed to 100 shares of Infosys at its 1993 IPO at a price of INR 95 per share, you would own 1,02,400 shares of the company today. At an average price of INR 700 per share, that investment would now be worth over INR 7 Crores!
