Co-relation of Health and Wealth!

  1. Start early. Be it be health or wealth start early. It does not matter whether you run a full marathon or talk a small walk around the park. Starting early only matters. Likewise, start saving right away, Even Rs 500 is Okay.
  2. Avoid excessive calories & fat for a peaceful healthy life. Likewise, avoid debt.
  3. Understand the importance of compounding in life. Have a long-term mind set.
  4. Be consistent in whatever you do. Let it be gyming, Saving or investing. Only then you will achieve your desired results.
  5. Everything in life would take time. You have to believe in the process. Six packs do not appear in a month and neither does wealth. Continue the process and it would happen for sure.
  6. Have a plan in place and measure the progress at regular intervals. So you will understand where you are and what needs to be done to reach the destination on time.
  7. Understand the significance of diversification. You don't eat the same food for all the three times. Similarly, don't put all your money in one place throughout your life.
  8. Understand the risk. Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing. Seek help from someone who could guide you and make you physically/financially fit.
  9. Don't eat Junk food. It will take its toll on your health gradually even if it satisfies your taste bud instantly. It's the same with loans. Getting something on a loan will satisfy your immediate need but destroy your financial health. 
  10. You don't have to be smart than the others. You have to be disciplined in whatever you do (Health & Wealth). Knowledge is 20% and behavior is 80%. Everyone knew regular exercise will keep them healthy, but only few do. Saving & Investing keeps you financially healthy, but hardly anyone does.
  11. Prevention is better than cure. Make sure you avoid unhealthy habits in the 1st place rather than thinking about treating your illness at a later point. Similarly AVOID guaranteed 25%+ returns scheme, capital protection is more important than the returns. 
Finance and life are the same. It's all simple. We just complicate it.  Have a happy week ahead.

Why Investing is Easy - Chapter#1

Image
 We have been planning to write a piece with this title for sometime now. It so happened that last week I was speaking to a good friend from Investing community and he shared a experiance with me. He chanced upon a Doctor and learnt that there are from the same place. So the conversation boiled down to - "What puts food on the plate question". So One was a doctor and another was a full time investor/advisor. The Doctor was quick to point out that - Being Investor is such a easy profession unlike others, One can easily make 30-50% returns every year. My investor friend would only laugh since he knows that he is the not 1st and he will not be last to "think" that investing is Easy.  But of course, Investing is easy. Let me put the facts out here.. Lets say this is Jan 2019 and you started simply started SIP of 10K in a Mutual Fund that invests only in Top 100 stocks or lets say just did a one time purchase of about 1 lac. Here is how the results will look today -  In

The Small Cap Mania!

Image
 People are flocking to small cap funds like the zombies run towards humans in movies. We have seen this earlier and trust us, this is not gonna have a happy ending. Why so, because we are at the climax and you all know what happens to the zombies at the end of the movie, they all are trapped in one place and get finished off. So, why do I connect zombies with small cap fund investors now?                            Read on – Zombies don’t think – as you would have seen in the movies, all the zombies just run when they sense a living being. Similarly, the frenzy today is, all the investors are flocking towards small cap funds without giving a second thought, just because it has given good returns in the last few years . Zombies fall for the trap – Z’s don’t know what is about to happen next. They flock and fall for the trap laid out as expected. Humans are also the same, they run where the returns are higher and end up making worse mistakes. Enough of zombies, lets get to facts now

Interim Budget - 2024

Image
 We promised to bring you the Chapter#2 of the Why Investing is easy but in the interim, Government published the Interim Budget and I think its reasonable that our readers expect us to write about it and we write about it. So Chapter#2 can wait... Here's the News from the Interim Budget. “ If it ain't broke, don't fix it.” The Government has not done much mumbo-jumbo in the budget and there is hardly anything for middle class as such. Things look far better now than they were in the past and good thing is Government not trying to tinker things, that are working fine, just for the sake for some "Budget-drama".  Where does that leave us? If you have been reading our budget blogs , you will appreciate the fact that we always want to give a personal touch to what the take aways from the Budget!                                    Take Away# 1 Fix it if its Broken This is so much in contrary to what the Government has done with the Budget but gives a very important cu
