The Month That Was

November has been a busy month in the Indian Markets, with companies releasing their Q2 results all the way till the 1st week of November, coupled with plenty of macroeconomic surprises (crude oil plummeting even more, Ruble collapsing, the Japanese economy shrinking) and much more.

November also marked the one-year anniversary of Capital Mind Premium. We would love to hear from you with suggestions and requests on what you would like to see us incorporate into our offerings from here on.
