This strong performance was partly because of changes happening in the economy, like new rules (GST 2.0) and easier ways to get money. Experts believe this is leading to a “recovery,” where companies start making more money.

However, some smaller companies (mid- and small-caps) didn’t do as well. After two years of growing quickly, they slowed down because investors realized they were overvalued. This is called “mean reversion” – meaning things often return to a more normal level.

Many people think that investors who were careful and spread their money across different investments (asset allocation) were able to make good money. It’s important to remember that gold and silver can change quickly, so it’s not always a good idea to put all your money into them at once.

For example, someone who invested between February and April this year did well. However, remember that markets can go down and take a long time, so patience is key.
