Personally, I go to BSE every year at Diwali muhurat to buy one share on the trading floor and ring the IPO bell. It is the most adrenaline filled activity for me :)
Forget the Share Mania of 1992, let me tell you about the oldest share mania!

And Yes, that's me ringing the IPO Bell - Ringing it as an stock market enthusiast, one day, hopefully, will ring it as a company owner :)
For me, #Scam1992 was a very emotional and nostalgic watch given the massive coverage of BSE. Every die-hard fan of the stock market, lover of history, passionate and serious investors must have visited Dalal Street and touched the stairs of the BSE building
A lucky few must have visited the ring.

BSE building is not a building, it is an emotion! I can vouch for it!

When I was working at my last employer (BP Wealth), I used to go here and just stand there below the building and stare at the ticker!
BSE building is very well a tale of caution but is very inspirational as well!

Sorry for the long thread and some emotional messages.

Please share with everyone, each and everyone shud know the rich history of our Financial markets :)

Good day!
