Droplet Wealth

Earlier, we wrote a blog  about investing 30K and earning an income of 50K every month. Most of them might have thought that they need such a huge amount to start investing. Nothing so! At Droplet, our wish is to be all-inclusive and that constant endeavor has resulted in this blog.  I think it is relatively safe to assume that an average middle-class earner can save 5K monthly. Now next we are trying to secure this Middle-class earner's future. In the Financial world, the future is always and always 15 years after . Hence we will plan with 15 years in our mind -  Droplet Team advises that a saver should split his investments into 2 parts one. One for Security and another for Savings.  Part One - Security-   As long as you are alive your family will live in your shade. But, God forbid, Something happens to you? Who would the family lean on? That's why Droplet recommends that the breadwinner's 1t "Investment" should be in " protecting his life...

We have seen 4 of them, A IT Company, A Paint Company, A Electronics company, A Bank.What is next? Droplets said let's get into your kitchens. Kitchen? Is wealth there too? Wealth says I'm there too as long as you want to create me. How magnanimous? Recently, there was a book published about how this company became a 6,500 Crore company. Imagine our selves just holding .1% of this company. How much is that going to be? Well, that will be a cool sum of 6.5 Crores. That is the power of equities and Power of Compounding .  What company is that? As usual, there is a clue in there.  A Small History of the Company -  It was incorporated as a private limited company on October 22, 1955, in Madras  It is known for its innovative marketing strategy, be it distributing pamphlet from a helicopter in the fifties or introducing the exchange scheme Became a deemed public company on June 15th, 1988. (Meaning available for public investment) Announces land...

                                          In the earlier blog , we saw that share price of a company is the function of the Profits that the company makes and the no of equity shares it has. Lower Equity shares and higher profits would mean a very high share price (MRF, EIcher Motors) and vice versa.  As simple as it can get.  Now we will see why the share price goes up and down putting its holders on a roller coaster, a ride that not many are adept handling.   As said earlier, If a company is earning 10 per share and an investor is ready to pay 10 times its earnings ( i.e.,) then the share price will work out to be 100. But World and life is not so simple and as are markets. Life, world and markets are all built on hopes. Hope that tomorrow will be better than today, hope that one's view of things will be win over other's view of same thing. Lets look at ho...

The Price of 1 share of MRF is Rs 76,650 The Price of 1 Share of Eicher Motors is Rs 27,000 The Price of 1 share of  Maruti Suzuki is Rs 9,300 The Price of  1 share of TVS Srichakra is Rs 3031 The Price of 1 Share of Colgate is Rs 1100  The Price of 1 share of State Bank of India is Rs 260  What does all this mean?  As indicated by Share Price alone  Does it mean that MRF is costly and Maruti is cheaper?  Does this mean that State Bank of India is smaller than Maruti?                          The share price is face of the share market. Share price is the first thing that anybody who comes to stock markets sees first. This person may not know anything about the Stock markets, He -may not know Market Capitalization, may not know Gross Profit Margins, may not know bottom line, may not know top line but he will know the Price of most of these shares.  ...

                                           In the two episodes of Wealth Creators so far we have seen how a IT behemoth made huge wealth even for novices like us. Then we followed it up with a Paint company that gave humongous   returns to its investors. This week again we will look at a similar business that is so common and famous yet made gargantuan wealth for its investors. Just to not bore you with numbers all the time and to flaunt our vocabulary, lets now look at the return that these companies have made in English! Yes in English!  But before we go on and get to know what the company is, let us 1st reveal a secret about great companies, It is their promoters. The success or the failure of the companies is highly tied to its promoters. Promoters are generally the Owners of the business and also often times the majority stake holders. Promoter...

Most of us give a serious thought to physical fitness only when we cross the 60% of life milestone or when we are forced to be FIT post a medical diagnosis. For instance, I have seen many people who does not care about anything and live a junk lifestyle and one fine day when the unfortunate event occurs such as diagnosis of diabetics or any other, only then their blood, veins, heart and brain starts thinking about having a better and healthy lifestyle. The significance of physical fitness comes first as one grows older, as one cannot ignore it to lead a healthier life. So is the financial fitness. We pay attention only when there is a need, be it health or wealth. A typical Indian life cycle is all-simple. Learn, earn and retire. It all starts from the day you are born, your parents decides what you wanted to become. You get your graduation completed, have a job, get married, and then you want to buy a home as early as possible on EMI. In between, we never ever think whethe...
