Trading in India unfortunately is not seen with a kind of respect medicine and engineering etc streams are seen. It gives me a bit lower self steam when I go out, meet peers et al. It has turned into me a reclusive guy which I was not earlier. A trader is no less than other professionals in my view, but sadly most Indians don't give a damn.
In our country a goon,a don,dishonest builders, corrupt politicians all have respect because they have money ...you earn plenty of money but by honest means and the world will respect you....
Once you are successful in trading and investing doctors and engineers from your friends and relatives will beg of you to tell them which stocks to buy for long term wealth creation as with Govt tightening its screws on black money,real estate is loosing its sheen ....
