Hi Dr Vijay Malik,
I have been reading your blog and want to thank You for sharing such a detailed analysis of the companies and investment concepts. However, I see that your coverage includes very few BFSI stocks – Banking / NBFC / Insurance etc. It would be great if you can cover companies under the BFSI segment. It will help readers to understand this segment as well.
Thanks,
Kartik Jain
