The recent consultation paper by SEBI to regulate Algo trading identifies its merits by stating that it automatically monitors live stock prices and initiates an order when the criteria are met.

In a lighter vein, one could wonder how the first quarter of the last few years has made it a habit of making a mockery of beginning-of-year forecasts. While 2020 was a year that began under the looming threat of geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran; by the end of the first quarter, the thing that had turned the world upside down was, after all, a virus.
