    Yes, even i am also thinking of SIP route for long term perspective of investment in MF. Please let me know which fund to choose.

  3. Dear Vandhi, some personal commitments + the market down trend made your losses but after that you sincerely not tried to rework on your losses. Now is the time to start investing again in Eq. MFs.

    Please think over it.

    Thanks

    Actually due to some personal commitment, i was forced to exit the market with huge loss, After that i never been active investor on Stocks/MF. Like all other retail investor i do have some fear to enter again. At the same time, now i am in position to think about my financial planning, as i am out my Loan commitment. So ready for investment. But not sure the right direction.

    Some Financial planner suggest PPF, RD some cash instruments. So i am in search mode now,.

      “Forced to exit the market” means bad, very bad, asset allocation system. Work on it. And first think, and then do.
      First prepare this.

  5. Dear Vandhi, you did the most common mistake of retail investors. Investing when the market was on high & redeeming & not investing when market was in lows. Actually you should do opposite. In fact, had you been continuing your investments since 2006 till date, in MF, you w’d sit on a nice profit now. In case of direct stocks, it were your calls who gone wrong so please accept it.

    Think over it.

  6. Dear Vandhi, why are you not thinking of investing in MFs?

    Thanks

      I have invested in MF/Stocks during that 2006-2008 period, due to market recession/Satyam scam, i have lost most of my money,. so now i tend go towards Real estate or FD/RD route

  7. If you are living in own house, unless you can fund 50% of a second house not much financial sense in investing.

    RD+ FD option is tax inefficient. Also depending on your goals may not beat inflation. Get your goals lines up and map the investment to your goals and invest according to timeframe and risk appetitte
