Bright Money, a San Francisco, Calif-based artificial intelligence (AI) finance platform powered by its unique MoneyScience™ algorithm, secured $31 million in Series A round. The round was led by Sequoia Capital India, Falcon Edge Capital, and Hummingbird Ventures. Alongside investments from prominent angel investors including Ram Shriram (Alphabet board member and founder of Sherpalo Ventures).

The Series A funding will allow Bright Money to take its platform to the next level, by providing users with a transformative journey. Company: Bright Money Independent Pvt Ltd Lead Investors: Sequoia Capital India, Falcon Edge Capital, and Hummingbird Ventures What is the best time to buy stocks ? The answer: Any and every time. That is, if you are buying fundamentally good stocks with cheap or reasonable valuations.

The trouble is that, in today’s market, valuations are not cheap. So, your options are: Stay out of the market or focus on a company’s fundamentals. If they are fine and the management has a track record, focus on it rather than the narrative which the Nifty and Sensex bring to the table. In short, avoid being influenced by headlines that scream the Nifty has moved above 26,000. No need to feel bullish about that. And, equally, no need to feel bearish when it slips below that figure.

The Indian rupee has hit a historic low against the US dollar, crossing 90. This presents a significant opportunity for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to convert dollars to rupees, potentially gaining more value. While converting now offers an advantage, experts advise a staggered approach to manage risks and capitalize on future currency movements. Happy Tuesday!

There is little doubt that the overall picture as far as the market is concerned is bullish. But Monday’s trade, as well as the way the market has been behaving over the past few sessions, just goes to show that volatility cannot be wished away. Even in a bullish market, you will see profit-booking, rational shifting, consolidation, or distribution. Whenever the market attempts to move into a fresh phase of upward movement, these things do happen. So, even as you turn bullish, be prepared to deal with volatility. And that means being selective and cautious, especially if you are interested in the mid-cap segment.

Can we say valuations are currently fairly priced in the mid-cap segment? The answer is no. Does it mean that you should avoid the segment altogether? The answer is again no. Over the next few quarters, stock price trends and the absolute value of stock prices will be impacted by the fundamentals of the sector as well as valuations. And the fundamentals are currently improving for some industries.
