I have seen many comments saying Microsoft failed to innovate with Skype, but I beg to differ. It was more of a strategic decision. Microsoft deliberately shifted focus to Teams, especially for businesses, and let Skype fade into the background. By the time COVID hit, Zoom and WhatsApp had already become more user-friendly for individuals, while Teams became the go-to platform for businesses. I do not think Microsoft lost entirely. Teams is now the number one app for business meetings.

Hello Fishes,

I am new to the investing world. I have invested some 80k in Nifty fifty index funds. I wanted to increase my investment in other MFs and stocks.

Can you advise how to start it considering short term and long term financial goals.

Short term goals - like for 2-3 years

Long term goals - like for 5-6+ years or more depending upon the performance

I have seen multiple you tube videos but seems to get confused on how to start and which funds to pick.

Thank you!
