expert opinion
Experts recommend being careful on the day of Muhurta trading. Given the limited liquidity on peak trading days, it is generally suggested that investors, especially beginners, invest in tokens rather than large trades. Advice can also be taken from a financial advisor today. Especially when any investor is confused about which stock to invest his money in. Experts continue to advise not to let the festive atmosphere overshadow investment decisions. Instead, use this opportunity for strategic, long-term gains.
