A new year, a new start

The Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange in Asia with it being established in 1875 but when it comes to Sensex, its just 29 years old. While trading in exchanges situated in United States were still trading using the pit, we moved to computerized trading. Even today, Initial Public Offers in United States is pretty opaque with only the chosen few getting hold of the shares before it gets listed on the exchanges, our here we have democratized it so deeply that everyone has a equal chance at allotment.

But when it comes to Financial Education and Research, we are far behind the rest of the pack. On one hand, we have one of the largest number of listed companies and on the other, the percentage of folks who invest in the markets both directly and in-directly is pretty minuscule.

While investing in stock markets is seen as similar to gambling on the race track, investing in Gold and Insurance is seen as Investment that can fetch good returns on the long run even though evidence to support that view is lacking.

Our financial universe is filled with intermediaries who are willing to sell you dreams of getting rich without having to bother either with the barest minimum of understanding, all for a small fee of course.

The basic objective of this site is to provide a way to construct portfolios based on your ideologies / your risk taking abilities as well as your requirements without having to pay an arm and a leg for that pleasure.

While we are strong believers in the John Bogle method of investing, we also believe that its very much possible to generate above market returns. This site will aim to research into methods and tools that can make it possible for the common investor.

Having said all that, do note that we are not registered Investment advisor and our posts are not a recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell any security or as investment advice. All contents of the website are provided for information and educational purposes only.
