the author is correct subject to the following caveat:
1. invest in a basket(MF or better ETF index) 2. stay for long time (at least 5 years) 3. THIS IS IMPORTANT-enter at a reasonable level.
retail investors lose because: 1. they select share randomly(from newspaper ot tv channel reporter/expert who wants to sell his own stock secretly !!!) 2.dont stay long 3.enter at a high valuation in a overheated market.

thats what traders say when they loose money from trading in equity stocks.....I have made my million from investing in the market the right way..and this volatility does not scare me.
In his own words "Nifty was at 1000 in Nov 2005 and is at approximately 5000 today. This translates into a CAGR of roughly 12 per cent" The duration mentioned gives you a CAGR of 34% and not 12%

stock brokers always fool people by asking them to TRADE in equity stocks instead of INVESTING their money.....if u read the article it explains that invester should not try to time the market and invest regularly for a longer period to make steady returns.
A couple of years ago everyone was bullish on DLF, Bharti Airtel,Suzlon, Rcom, R Power and the list goes on..., Now they all are trading at 1/3 or 1/2 of their all time highs inspite of market coming back from 8k to 16k. In hindsight everyone gets wiser, it is very easy to take the names of HDFC and Infosys and RIL now, but no one can tell about future Blue chips. All this propoganda about educating investors and blah blah is done by Brokerage firms so that they can increase their earnings. They will earn a fix .5 to 2% on every transaction, no matter whether a retail investor earns or loses.

if the writer is a good predictor, he would have made lots of money in stock market. Unfortunately, what he can is to write a story on rediff and earn for his living. Do not take him seriously.
Funny!!! We can see a rubber like flexible sensex in every week varying with 2% to 3% varition and somebody is talking about 21000. Did the guy know that even after reaching 21000 the sensex did cross below 9000?
What are the basis for all these 21000 projection number? 8.5% annual growth is expected in the presence of a 15 plus percentage of inflation! Also the world clues are like a kitchdi. Initial week's monsoon was weak, though it recovered by now...what is the basis of this 21000 talk??
Mutual fund INDUSTRY!! Lol!!!
There is a difference between speculation and gamble and now stock market is a place of gamble than speculation. Poor state of affairs...

So plz take risk n invest in equity market instead of fixed plan, so tht we can trade without depend on FIIs.

In 2007/2008 downturn in US Subprime crisis, why still european market also failed like World market. they have very good retail participation but still it failed. We need not only to increase our retail participation but also govt need to do make some regulation on FIIs investment withdrawl. How can you(FIIs) come one day with huge funds saying indian markets are hot and other day when there is no trouble in indian market, you existed saying there are troubles in greace and dubai and so on because it is bloody politician money and not only fiis money which is at stake. They only sell at high and again enter at low. Everytime they take money from your pocket in this way. So either we learn the way they play it. buy at low and sell at high else you will never survive the market.

U r making a classical mistake. This 21000, 9000, or 31000, etc is rubbish. U buy when market is down and sell when it is up. March last yr was a grt time to buy (I bought it). I am still holding them.
Presently, invest some amount and keep buying on dips and HOLD.

Dear Judge would do very well to book his profits, if he has any, and remain on the sidelines rather than fritter away whatever he has gained as the markets are coming crashing down post-Greece, Hungary... and what you have!
