MUMBAI: Investors have gained more than $25 billion a fortnight after the presentation of budget. The rise is close to double of what last year's Budget had done for investors in the same period. These successive growths over the last three budgets presented by Chidambaram have doubled the growth in investor wealth in two weeks flat. The stock market also displayed its third consecutive post-Budget gains, with the Sensex rising 3.81 percent, or 394.92 points. The increases in the same period in 2005 and 2004 were 139.87 points and 229.50 points, respectively.
