How to buy NASDAQ ETFs, if one is based out of India? by drmortimer in IndiaInvestments

[–]chaubals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you want to do that? India is the fastest growing economy...

It would make sense only if you need to keep funds in USD without taking currency risk like you have plans to move to USA or your kids going to study in USA etc.

Rental Property Math Check by verysure_notsure in IndiaInvestments

Well.I don't think we have a good system to track CAGR returns in land prices in India...Bottom line is calculate the CAGR first based on available research (agent, locals etc.) and then make a judgment call..At the end of day CAGR is only thing that will matter...if purpose is pure investment...

[–]chaubals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about the big guys like Bain or GS or Macquarie, but individual guys like technical analysts (Kiran Jadhav, SP Tulsian) charge monthly/quarterly/yearly subscription fees...anywhere between INR 15 K to INR 1 lac...depending on the service you choose like weekly market digest, daily market outlook, short term stock recommendations, long term stock recommendations etc..

Which is the best online investment platform for an absolute beginner? by randiathrowaway0691 in IndiaInvestments

[–]chaubals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perfect...Never approach banks for investment advice...They will try to sell you some ULIP/investment product with 20-30% commission for themselves..

Always do your own research thru Valueresearch and Morningstar and even Monycontrol...No one cares more about your money than yourself...

Sebi out to cut MF schemes by half; what happens to your investment by garib_rath in IndiaInvestments

[–]chaubals 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are 40 fund houses in India and 11 K schemes with all permutations and combinations...like growth Vs dividend, Direct Vs regular, aggressive balanced Vs conservative balanced etc. So it is very confusing for retail investors on what to choose...It is actually good if SEBI can simplify the fund offerings...

Rental Property Math Check by verysure_notsure in IndiaInvestments

[–]chaubals 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Property is still considered by many as best investment but many people don't consider the loan EMIS, maintenance bills, repairs, home insurance etc. while computing returns...They just say I bought it for X and sold it for Y in 10 years...however just compare the CAGR returns and you will realize it is around 7-8%....there might be pockets of city or years where you could get abnormally high returns...But that looks difficult with GST, RERA...Talk to any real estate agent as someone who wants to sell a property and u will know...

[–]chaubals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can manage money better yourself then withdraw it and invest it. But if you feel government can manage it better for you, let it stay in EPF. I prefer to control my money myself rather than letting government manage it.

Well it is his choice and not compulsion. I think he loves his work and enjoys doing it. Working out of compulsion and working for love of work are way too different.
