Was thinking of buying LUPIN todin. It started the day at like 1315 and is already 1351.25. Wonder if it is still a good idea. To close the first story, I did sell those 500 shares yesterday with a profit of about Rs. 5 each, making about Rs. 1300 post brokerage. Now I am looking to ease into some l...

Great images on India TV showing helicopter rescue ops. I have seen something like this for the first time. Old women, kids, and the young being lifted up tens of feet above suspended by rope/jackets and brought in to the military helicopter. Great great job by the army and govt. Still lots to do......

I still don't have the confidence to take all my money out of my savings in bank FD's and dump it into equity market and then fly on just prayer. :eek: Who would have it? that's not wise to do. There are mixed or "balanced" MFs, debt funds ityadi. Once in a blue moon some builders float c...

I am a plain vanilla buy-and-hold investor; thanks to NaMo, this was a good year for Sensex & Nifty and my portfolio has done well :mrgreen: I want to eventually be like that. Market was on a roll though and entering was a bit risky. Everyone was expecting some correction and it finally happene...

I should clarify. 1) This is not my main investment, but a rather small amount to gamble with. Yes losing it 4x would pinch, but I had to this once. We'll find out in a few days. 2) I will be investing in some top MFs. Like Rs. 25K in the top four. I'll probably choose two balanced MFs, one skewed t...

I'm being guided by a branch manager of a bank. The stock went up by Rs.5 in the morning (meaning I gained Rs.2500) but settled down to re. 1 up by the end of the day. I have to sell by Mon/Tue because I bought 4x than I paid for. Some of these companies allow you to buy more than you have in the ac...

Bought 500 shares yesterdin. First time in my life! made some money so far but haven't sold them yet. Perhaps today or monday. Keeping fingers crossed!

Anywho, KJo isn't too human sounding is it? you wanna try something else?

Yes, but it is not gift, it is investment. What are the likely sectors, what are the possibilities, expectations..
Is this too little or as per expectations..?

archan

Can someone knowledgeable put the numbers in perspective plz?

archan

It's not offensive. We prefer to have our forum comprised of human sounding names as much as possible. Those might be your initials, I don't know. Still its better to not be known on the forum by those or even your actual name. Use a pseudonym.

archan

We are like that onlee. Welcome. We need to find some good name for you. Let us know if you have any preference.

Wow! IRCTC to soon offer cash on delivery for rail tickets Acche din for those without credit/debit cards. Now if only they can get rid of the "agent/dalaal" business. Booking a ticket for Diwali at 8AM with 18 available (why only 18 by the way?) and I got wait list 57 by the time the tra...

Plus if you are a bit saavy investor, the plethora of investment options that are available within an ULIP is mind-boggling ... today a good ULIP will provide you with options of spreading your investment exclusively into Bluechips or Midcaps or even a distributed one . It will also allow you to fi...

^ Talked to another independent financial advisor today. I had the idea, but I was wavering. I think you are right. Will get rid of the ULIP in the free look in period and concentrate on SIPs with some expert guidance. Although the ULIP invests in ICICI Pru Maximizer V plan which has not done all th...

archan

Thanks maitya. I am going in multiple ways. 1) Will invest in a reputed ULIP. After talking to the fund manager a few times, it appears that they know what they are doing and the fund has shown good returns in the previous years. There is flexibility to stay in a debt fund and keep getting the 8-9% ...

For a safe boot you need to press shift or something on the keyboard. It doesnt reconize the keyboard.

So I have a Mac mini (2nd Gen) from 2008 which I braught with me to India. I didn't bring the Apple keyboard and mouse. That was not the problem as it worked well with my KVM at home. However, Apple released OS update and since that update it wouldn't boot. Kernel panic - "you need to restart t...

Yes, ULIPs have been bad for people in general. I calculated the fee thy charge, whether you gain or lose. It is as much as 7% of the yearly investment at least in the first few years. One can just start investing in equity with a handful of known good stocks and work their way from there. So for so...

Yup, need a friendly Nepal and hopefully they'll help plug that fake currency route into Bihar as well. With Nepal and BD routes closed, ~~pakis~~ PA will squirm.
Perhaps it is time to separate the zalim PA with the "oppressed" Pakistanis.

Does Win7 really run flawlessly on Macbook pros? I might be tempted..

My question was about ULIPs as tax free returns investment instruments. They got bax reputation due to fees etc. Are things changing?

Then the Q is, what are the manufacturers that don't source parts or make their computers in China?

archan

Why are they bent on destroying the remaining reputation they have? what if people actually start saying we will pay a little more for something that is bug free and not made in China?
Is it like their intelligence is all pervading in their industry like the paki isi?

Windows boss.. that's what concerns me. It has to recognize the mic even when plugged in the headphone jack.
