Let's study how the US “Trump Accounts” + Dell Family Gift Help Children Through Compounding The new US programme—popularly called “Trump Accounts” —creates small, long-term investment accounts for children. Every eligible child receives $1,000 from the US Treasury , and with Michael & Susan Dell’s additional pledge, another $250 for children under age 10. The key idea is simple: Start early → Invest consistently → Let compounding work for decades. Michael and Susan Dell are one of America’s most prominent business families. Michael Dell founded Dell Technologies , one of the world’s largest computer companies, starting it from his college dorm room. Together, the Dell family has spent decades funding education, children’s health, and opportunity-building programs globally. Their $6.25 billion gift is one of the largest in modern US history dedicated to children. But the rea...

Nifty 50 and Sensex Targets for the Next 3–5 Years (2026–2030) and sector insights.

Sector-wise insights added.  As of November 23, 2025, India's benchmark indices—Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex—have experienced volatility this year, with the Nifty closing around 24,800–25,000 and the Sensex near 82,000–83,000, down from September peaks amid FII outflows and global uncertainties. Reputable institutions like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, ICICI Direct, Motilal Oswal, Jefferies, Citi, and HSBC have issued updated forecasts, driven by expectations of 13–19% annual earnings growth (FY26–28), GDP expansion to 7%, reflationary policies, and domestic inflows absorbing supply pressures. These projections assume stable macros (e.g., oil below $80/barrel, RBI rate cuts) but note risks like US recession or trade tensions.
