Ok the best offer for investing my money I have is about 12%p.a. – a transaction which gives me security, but not all of you can palette! No I am not taking the offer…because I have money for 10 years plus..and that in my mind is equity money.

Am I worried about a fall in the market. Hmmmm not too much worried about the long run, but willing to accept a 10-15% fall in the markets – in a worst case scenario say 15500 on the sensex.

If I can get about 11-12% p.a. how much am I expecting in my equity investments?

Well the question to ask is a. how much fall in my scrips can I accept. The answer is I DO NOT KNOW it myself…

What shares am I willing to look at …and at what prices – these are purely trading calls. On reaching the price target I will sell…or if I find a better buy, I will sell….(this I am writing on 18 march, 2011)

Scrip                                  buy price                                     sell price

Bharti                                   308                                                  365

Reliance                              900                                                 1100

Tech Mahindra                615                                                      800

Mah Hol Resorts              345                                                      435

Areva                                    210                                                      280

L&T                                         1450                                                 1725

cholamandalam                   165                                                    215

Yes Bank                                 240                                                    315

idbi bank                                 130                                                    170

the last two are clearly a high risk bet …be careful
