“I am a better investor because I am a businessman and a better businessman because I am no investor.” – Warren Buffet

 

By now you must have been bombarded with lot of budget analysis by TV channels, news-papers and from whatsapp & YouTube University. We don’t want to bore you further on nuances of budget. Should you have any specific query on budget, you may write to us and we would be very happy to answer your queries.

 

Market have welcomed budget with full josh and has started rallying again. It seems like the beginning of the Big Bull Run that we have been talking about for couple of years now.  Many of you might feel left out. Some of you will still remain hopeful of some correction to let you in. We at InvestmentMitra believe that his budget has laid a good foundation of sustainable growth over long term than going in for any short term quick fix options. Stock markets reaction is testimony to that.

 

In our communication last Thursday we had advised you to start putting in good money into equity markets. Many are still hopeful that the way market has risen so sharply, it should correct also. We at InvestmentMitra don’t know if the market will correct very soon, what we know is, such phases of correction and rising again are integral part of the markets. That’s what is called volatility and makes it risky option for short term investments.

 

We don’t see any great reason for markets to correct by large numbers very soon except for US stimulus package – if it is much below the market expectations. RBI’s monetary policy needs to be aligned to the budget announcement and we don’t see any deviation from the previous stance, it may get better even.

 

What should you do – You must complete portfolio rebalancing latest by May, meaning whatever money you have to invest in equity, should be invested by then. Those invested in long term bond funds may relook at their strategy as this budget may cause some inflation which if goes beyond the tolerance level, will force RBI to increase interest rates. As usual balance advantage funds remain our favorite for moderate risk investors with investment horizon of 3 years and more.

 

Please do let us know for ay query you have on budget or on your investments. You may write to us info@investmentmitra.com or whatsapp to 9958447700 or 9254673750.

 

Thank you.

 

Happy Investing!

This Republic Day Write Your Own Financial Constitution

By
“Constitution is not mere a lawyer’s document, it is a vehicle of life and its spirit is always the spirit of Age” – BR Ambedkar A constitution primarily is a document that details the rights, obligations, privileges, duties and responsibilities of the people living within the corridors of, and leading that country. It details the rule of governance. Without a constitution it will be difficult to live like a civilised society. We would be living like in stone-age where “Might was Right” and jungle raj prevailed all over. Like a country, each individual should also have his or his family’s own financial constitution detailing various financial objectives and the process to achieve those financial objectives, rules that will govern the way its finances will be managed etc. This applies to all individuals without exception and is more popularly known as “Financial Plan”. Like a constitution your financial plan should have a Preamble and different schedules. Preamble -...

Time or Timing – What is more important with Sensex @ 64K

By
  The Stock Market is the device to transfer wealth from the IMPATIENT to the PATIENT. After swinging in a range for almost one and half years, markets breached their previous peaks and are scaling new one now. Markets have risen by almost over 14% in last three months. Major reason for this sudden rise is the return of FIIs to the Indian stock markets following the fact that India is the fastest growing economy and growing over 6% despite covid, global economic slowdown and geo-political tensions. We invest for long term and everyone knows in the long run markets will go up irrespective of intermittent shocks like scams, dot-com bubble, Lehman crisis, covid or banking troubles in USA etc. Following picture depict the journey of Sensex over 40 years since its inception.   Source; www.thenwsmen.co.in The unfortunate part is we are more concerned about the short term movements of the markets. Every time there is sudden rise or fall in them market we are gripped more by f...

On Cross Roads

“We cannot truly plan, because we do not understand the future- but this is not necessarily a bad news. We could plan while bearing in mind such limitations. It just take guts.”- Taleb:   Propounder of The Black Swan theory. Pessimism that set in March, still persists in our minds. In fact it has deepened with growing number of Covid cases being reported. The largest question ruling our minds today is - Shall we ever be able to overcome it…………..     and if yes by when and how? Have we ever wondered how have the Indian culture survived for so many thousands of years, how come so many Indians who were transported as labourers to many African and European countries centuries ago are now ruling the roost or how come most of the top 20 firms in the world have Indian heading them and so on……….. The only reason to above and many such questions is our “ Ability to Adapt ”. We are fast learner and very quickly adapt to new situation. Indians enjoys six different we...

Markets Tumbling, Recovering – What to do??

By
Markets Tumbling, Recovering – What to do?? "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." - Chinese proverb. In times like present most people flock towards safety. Most do it because they don’t know how long this doomsday atmosphere will last, some even feeling like there will be No Tomorrow. But hunger for good returns on our investment never ceases. Kin Hubbard satires, "The safest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your pocket." On investment and earning good money from them, Warren Buffet – the legendary investor says, "If I buy a farm, I don't know whether there's going to be drought next year, but I know that there are not going to be 20 straight years of drought, and I know there's not going to be 20 straight years of great rainfall." It is a proven fact that no matter what, in long term best returns come from stock markets only. And as Seth Klarman says, “The stock mar...

Have You Missed Boarding the Bus

  "The market does not trade upon what everybody knows, but upon what those with the best information can foresee" – William Hamilton Russia-Ukraine conflict had clouded the stock markets worldwide giving speculations to the talks like possibilities of third world war, Russia heading for deep financial crisis, energy crisis looming large over Europe etc. With Russia-Ukraine conflict seems getting settled and much to the pleasure of Russia – the Super Power, this has now become a non-player for the markets until some significant deviation happens from the present stance taken by all major countries of the world. Present is the world of instant. We want everything instant and so are our reactions. In the age of internetted social life, dissemination of information is highly fluid. And over 99% of these netizens have mastered the art of forwarding such information without verifying if it’s a news, noise or manipulated agenda of some interested parties.   Most economies in...
