Stocks' Wild Ride: Sensex-Nifty Up, But Many Investors Lost Big!

• Sensex and Nifty saw 9-10% gains, but individual stock performance diverged sharply.
• Many investors faced losses despite overall market growth, shattering trust in some big names.
• IT, Realty, and Media sectors experienced significant declines.
• Auto, Metal, and PSU Banks emerged as top-performing sectors.
• The year taught a crucial lesson: index performance doesn't guarantee individual stock success, even for large-caps.

Why It Matters: Index gains don't tell the full story; stock selection was crucial for investor returns.
