How to become a crorepati: This question is asked very frequently by investors and the same applies to stock market investors too. Market experts, a majority of the times, tell retail investors to invest in cash and that too for the long-term - means 15 years or above. They also advise investors to invest in bulk, which means a lump sum amount should be invested in the stock market but in limited shares who have strong fundamentals. Having said that, investors, who do not want to take risks at all should invest via SIPs. The lumpsum investment route has risk attached.
