Stock Market Live Updates: GIFT Nifty Signals Weak Start, The markets ended in red yesterday. The major reason behind the falling red markets is the TARIFF TANTRUMS BY TRUMP!
Good Morning, Traders! ☀️📈
Let’s take a quick trip down memory lane and revisit one of the most jaw-dropping moments in Indian stock market history.
Have you ever wondered how a single man could rattle the entire financial system? Back in 1992, Harshad Mehta — a flashy stockbroker with a taste for luxury — pulled off one of India’s biggest stock market scams. Using loopholes in the banking system, he pumped up share prices (remember ACC? It shot from ₹200 to ₹9,000!) and sent the market soaring.
But as they say, what goes up must come down. Once the scam unraveled, the market crashed, billions vanished, and retail investors were left stunned. The fallout? Major reforms, tighter rules, and a much stronger SEBI.
It was a turning point that changed Indian investing forever.
Now here’s a fun thought — if you were trading back then, would you have seen the red flags?
