Hundred Percent Guaranteed Return 3

Hundred Percent Guaranteed Return

For quite sometime, fund managers in unison claim that the singular important reason for one to be invested in equity is that historically they have provided around 17% CAGR without at the same time telling you that the data for the starting years (especially from 1979 to 1986) is highly suspect. Debashis Basu of Moneylifers had written a wonderful article...

Change in difficult 1

Change in difficult

I am a sucker for quality writing and twitter has exposed me (and anyone interested) to a host of writers who are able to produce writing of a quality that is seldom available (and much of this is actually free, think about that). Just this morning, one of the bloggers I never miss to read tweeted this   People in...

Gann Day & its Implication 7

Gann Day & its Implication

Today it seems is celebrated as Gann Day. I learnt this via blogger, Eddy Elfenbein who himself references this article from Barron’s (Link).

While his presentation (you can check it out here) provides us with visual evidence, I wanted to see how this would translate if I left out the chart...

Blood on the Streets? 0

Blood on the Streets?

Today was a record breaking day in many aspects. The opening gap down for instance, we last saw something bigger way back in 2007. The net change for the day was a 3.5 standard deviation of daily returns, something we last saw in 2008. Not a single Nifty stock ended in positive territory, not even defensive stocks which got hit...

Real Estate vs Equities 1

Real Estate vs Equities

Writing in Valueresearchonline, Aarati Krishnan says “Equity funds often do beat real estate, but it is all about behaviour and perception of investors”. I am not sure as to how many investors agree with that, but that is not the point. In that article she correctly points out that while investors in Real Estate not only are willing to put in a...
