In this toy store, there are a few special toys on the front shelf that everyone talks about — these are the stock market indices (like the NIFTY, SENSEX, S&P 500 or the Dow Jones). They’re just a small part of all the toys in the store.
Now, imagine if someone walks by the store, sees those few shiny toys on the front shelf, and says, “Wow! The toy store must be doing great!” But what if…
Some of the other shelves are empty? The people working in the store aren’t getting paid well? Many kids can’t afford toys at all?
Even though the front shelf looks nice, it doesn’t mean everything in the store is okay. That’s like the stock market — it shows how some big companies are doing, but not how all the people in the country are living.
So, just because the shiny toys (stock market) look good, it doesn’t always mean the whole store (the country) is happy and healthy. 😊
