Daily Business News : Mint Mark to Market Podcast

Many young people in India have started investing in Stock Markets these days. But most of the time, they complain that it is tough to follow the ever-changing markets and keep making trades. 

If you are also someone who recently dipped their toes into the Indian Stock Markets, you might find consuming the daily business news overwhelming. This is because most of the times the stock market news is all over the place. Generally everything under the sun like price changes, stock buybacks,  corporate announcements, economic commentary etc is covered, making it difficult for the young investors to stay updated on the go.  Besides, it also does not make sense to keep checking the stock ticker every now and then, when you have a corporate job as well. 

The smart way to stay updated with Daily Market News : Mint Mark to Market Podcast

You do have the option of watching CNBC or any other Business News Channel to keep yourselves updates with the current business happenings. But the problem is that these channels mostly cater to people who are full-time traders or investors. A side-investor usually finds it difficult to devote so much time and energy to investing. Besides, you probably don’t want to be caught watching these channels while you’re working in your office.

The Mint Mark to Market Podcast is probably the perfect fit for such side-investors. It is beneficial both for traders looking for short-term technical news as well as long-term investors looking for news on fundamental developments of different stocks.
