Star Plus is perhaps the greatest cricket expert who has never played for India. Since they know everything about the game, they should be made the non playing captain of the team. Every ball bowled, every word spoken, every catch taken – and of course dropped, every injury is analysed threadbare.
Conclusion: Indian bowlers bowled badly [...]
this is the second part of the confessions of adviser’s / relationship managers
some of the things that i wish to tell my client, but cannot!
1. When I asked you to sell (index 21000) you said ‘it will go to 25,000. Later on you say “You did not say it strongly enough”. Man, you are a [...]
Now that entry loads have been abolished the media will want to don the role of an investment advisor. Not that it is bad for the media, it is disastarous for the investor. This column will try to demolish some of the media perpetuated myths. Today let us look at the top most media myth.
“When [...]
Let us do some crystal grazing…where will the index end on 31st March, 2010?
Frankly I have no clue. Neither has anybody else. That is the truth. But let us have some fun. If the market were to close at the same level as March, 06 (11280) it would have to go up from 9708.50 (mar [...]
I recently read an article in a magazine saying that equity investments are easy to handle. It said you should invest in equities – and sell when you reach your level of expected return, then wait for the next bear market. I think it is an amazing idea, but misses the point completely.

In a training class there are some of the few questions I cannot wish away. Let me name a few:
1. What will happen to the market in the next 12 months?
2. When will the market reach 21000 again? (they mean Sensex)
3. Is the fall over? Will it start rising again? When?
Frankly I feel like telling [...]
I have answered this question millions of times in my training and teaching sessions. And there are no clear answers. However students who ask this question need to understand that being ethical may be an end in itself. If something is an end in itself, how does it matter whether it should be done or [...]
Myth: Time in the market is more important that timing the market.
This says that the longer you stay invested, the more chances of you making money. Again, only partly true. Good investors know that timing is all. While no one can call market peaks or troughs correctly all the time, we all can figure out [...]
this article by Suraj of moneycontrol.com first appeared on ibnlive.com – i have reproduced it here as it contains my quote and reasonably explains what is an etf. So here it is as a part of my tutorial…
Hovering at around 9,000 levels, the Sensex has shed more than 50 per cent of its value, [...]
I would have called this a million dollar question. However, thanks to this great meltdown, let me call it the Trillion dollar question.
The Optimistic view: the world loves a bull market. The world loves a winner. The world loves to see the “good” man win – that is why we pay millions of rupees / [...]
