As stock investors (even though a small one), it is important to keep abreast with the latest financial and market news. Since I am in it, I thought it might be worthwhile to share it out with my readers too.
Hence, I started this "Market News In 2 Minutes" series.
Following are the "Market News In 2 Minutes" for today :
