Speaking of stock markets, Shankar Sharma is one of India's well known investors. His interviews are filed with colourful metaphors, witty one-liners, and smart observations.

In one of his interviews he gives a very interesting analogy. In this analogy he called his style of investing as investing in 4 AM stocks.

In the interview, he further added in his own inimitable style that his 4 AM investing principles can get an investor from a 'slum to a penthouse.'

So, does Mr Sharma have a strategy that he thinks will put us in a penthouse in a few years and not end up wiping away our hard-earned money.

Rahul Shah, Co-head of research at Equitymaster answers this question in the below video:

The year-on-year change in the Sensex was hardly predictable but someone who stayed invested multiplied every lakh nearly 14 times.

Timing the markets could be suicidal as valuations and volatility put the markets in a see-saw mode.

As an individual investor, you need to sit tight over high conviction stocks and invest consistently to see the magic of compounding.

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) on Thursday announced significant discoveries of oil and gas in two separate offshore exploration blocks in the Mumbai Offshore region.

The first discovery was made in the Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP) block MB-OSHP-2017/1 in Mumbai Offshore (SW) on the Arabian Sea. ONGC has named this discovery "AMRIT" and a detailed assessment of the discovery is currently underway.

The second discovery, which ONGC has named "Moonga", was made in another OALP exploration block in Mumbai Offshore, MBS182HDA-1(MBS182HDA-A).
