What's new and what's news? This is done every year. The market will continue to rise till Feb. Once the Ambani brothers are declared wealthiest in the world, it will start crashing like never before until it reaches it's apt value. This is nothing but games played by the broker's lobby every year. It's sad that the common investors lose out in this game.
