The year 2020 will go down as a year when the world was brought to its knees by a tiny microbe that left a trail of death and destruction, devastating economies but it will also be the year when human enterprise and science offered hope in otherwise a trying time.
Markets, too, have had their share of the good, the bad and the ugly. Retail investors are a happy lot and more so those who entered the D-Street in 2020. The Nifty50 has already rallied more than 11 percent this year to record highs— from March lows it has jumped more than 70 percent.
