Do stock indices tell the right story?

Stock market indices, gives you a snapshot of how the economy is going forward. It’s just a snapshot.

If the index rises, it is not necessary that your investment would also rise.

Stock indices are unimportant to an ordinary investor. What’s important is to pick stocks that are fundamentally good. Fundamentally good stocks perform well in any situations. There are many stocks which steadily rise, unnoticed by many, even when the market index is going no where.
