How To Open Post Office Fixed Deposit Account Online
If you grew up in an Indian household, chances are the post office wasn’t just a place to mail letters. It was where passbooks lived, where grandparents parked savings, and where money felt… safe. That trust hasn’t disappeared. Even today, the Post Office Fixed Deposit is a familiar choice for people who want peace & […]
Understanding Fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR): Meaning, Format, Components
Fixed deposits are popular for one simple reason: they don’t demand constant attention. You lock in an amount, choose a tenure, and the return is predictable or fixed. But the part many investors don’t think about enough is the “paper trail” that sits behind that deposit. When you book an FD with a bank or […]
Put Option: What It Is, How It Works, and How to Trade
Options usually start making sense only when markets stop behaving the way people expect them to. Prices swing, confidence drops, and even long‑term investors begin thinking about what could go wrong instead of what could go right. A put option often enters the picture at exactly that moment. Not as a tool to predict markets, […]
Corporate Bonds vs Fixed Deposits: How to Choose?
Most Indian investors reach the same crossroads at some point: “Should I put my money in a fixed deposit, or invest in bonds?” With living costs rising and in a downward interest rate cycle, the corporate bonds vs fd debate has become more relevant than ever.

What is Butterfly Strategy?
Options can feel like a high-speed game—fast moves, fast emotions, and sometimes fast losses. That’s exactly why strategies that cap both risk and reward exist. The butterfly strategy is one of those: it is built for traders who have a clear view that the market may stay in a range, not explode in either direction. […]
What is Asset Allocation
Most investors don’t lose sleep because they chose the “wrong” stock. They lose sleep because everything they own seems to fall together on the same day. That is exactly where asset allocation steps in. It is the simple practice of spreading money across different kinds of investments—so one market mood does not decide the fate […]
What is Present Value?
Most people don’t actually struggle with numbers. They struggle with timing. ₹1,00,000 sounds like a solid amount—until someone adds, “but you’ll get it five years later.” Suddenly the mind starts doing quiet math: inflation, missed opportunities, and the simple fact that money in hand feels more useful than money on paper. That gap is exactly […]
What is Discount Rates?
People often assume the value of money is fixed—₹1 lakh is ₹1 lakh. In reality, timing changes everything.

They help translate future cash flows into […]
