Great Indian depression
by priyanksaxena on Aug 18, 2012 08:50 AM

Mutual funds are not worth the paper they are printed any more cos ,

India economy is heading to a great depression. We are staring at a situation like Greece , even worse considering the fact that we have 1.5 billion population.

Housing is way beyond reach. Food prices are escalation. Jobs moving out of the country owing to the insane real estate prices. People are demanding more salaries because they want to buy houses whose prices are increasing without regulation every day. Commercial spaces can no more be affordable by the enterprises. Forget about new enterprises. Even old ones can not afford as the rents are sky rocketing.

As a result of this from milk to grains. From school fees to simple hair cut, things are going beyond common man.

To add to this monsoons playing spoil sport. Drought condition prevails half of INdia. Food cost will DOUBLE in 2013. In india , once the cost goes up, it will NEVER come down even after a bumper crops.

In essence , we are heading to a social unrest, depression and chaos.

Don't even think over investing in MF?
by Narendra Patel on Aug 17, 2012 10:45 AM  | Hide replies

Now whole marketing, media & ad agency will gear up for promotion in investing in MF after SEBI ordered again the implementation of entry load. I think, inversting into MF helps to draw out salary of MF manager, their office staff, office expenditure. It is better to invest into frontline nifty stocks then investing into any MF. It will sure reward better returns than any MF. Only constrint is to be patient with your investment.

Common sense must!

Point 1. Mutual funds area must if one believe's in the India story, because as govt. (read Income Tax ppl.) get more sophisticated, investment loopholes get less and less leaky. Property and rent therof as supplemnt for old age pension and classic gold for security appreciate less and less in value.

Point 2. All the crisis sectors offer good returns in developing economies - housing, infra. and hence HDFC & IDFC offer good returns.

Point 3. Common sense - Retail boom is coming, how long will ppl. tolerate street hawkers?
Aerospace manufacturing is coming.

IT, housing and infra. are also past, have already topped out.

Emerging India will buy branded goods, so brand owning Co.'s - FCMG - but emerging brands with retail boom will pay. Entertainment, wine & alcohol(red or Shiraz wine), lifestyle (think health clubs) and leisure ( think Casino's) Co.'s are also good future bets.

Negative Returns in last 4 years
by Christ on Aug 16, 2012 04:51 PM  | Hide replies

Negative Returns in last 4 years for all MF combined. your capital would have appreciated by 60 percent had u just kept in FD.
Look at Japan there long term index has fallen from 22k in 1990s to 9 k today.

Are you sure about FD returns of 60% in 4 years, even if compounded quarterly, or are you talking out of your hat?
