One of the hardest parts about investing by small investors’ like me,is that it’s really impossible to understand the Corporate Juggernaut.The Side Note by ZERODHA VARSITY really makes such terms investor class and investor worthy. Today’s Note demystifies —“How can dividends exceed earnings? by real-life example of Vedanta’s 3-year average dividend payout ratio of 243%.

I’ve learned a lot from Zerodha Varsity posts,such as Meme Stocks, Chocolates, Swiss secrecy etc etc and admire their Free Services!
