Invest and chill

Back in the human world, investing in equity has been the key to riches. Every few months or years, stock markets scale uncharted peaks. From 100 points in 1979, the Sensex - an index that measures the Indian markets - has climbed Mt 75,000 in a span of 45 years. That's a 750-bagger, growing at a solid 16 per cent annually. The story of Nifty, Sensex's cousin, is no different.
