For the next six Saturdays (Nov 30-Jan 11), we will be dropping episodes from our special series ET Wealth and Beyond.

Stock tips have become a massive market investment catalyst. As wealth creation becomes a priority for more and more Indians, many are flocking to the bourses armed with nuggets of advice from market makers and financial influencers, aiming to make a quick buck.

But this prolific growth, fuelled especially by social media, has also led to high instances of fraudulent accounts posing as genuine market advisers and unreliable information from various internet sections. How does one navigate through the perks and pitfalls of tip trading?

In the first episode of this special podcast series ET Wealth and Beyond, ET’s Markets editor Nishanth Vasudevan talks to Kamala K, chief regulatory officer at BSE and veteran investor Vijay Kedia.

Tune in.
