You want to buy stocks, how much of it?

So you decided it's time to start investing in stocks. You may have already decided how much you of your money you are going to invest in stocks. Let's find out if you have done your homework right. A lot of financial planners tell you this. What's your age? Subtract it from 100 and whatever you get should be the percentage you invest in stocks and your age is the percentage of your money to invest in safer instruments like debt funds, bonds, bank fixed deposits, etc. I believe this argument makes little sense. Let us consider a few scenarios: 1. An 80 year old woman who has Rs 2 crore as her bank balance. She has no financial liabilities and is self dependent and her children are independent, in no need of support. 2. A 35 years old doctor who has Rs 1 crore bank balance and has a very predictable amount flowing in as monthly income. 3. A 20 years old student who gets Rs 3000 a month as pocket money and saves Rs 1500 each month. The age formula loving financial ad...

Financial Responsibilities as a New Parent

With the advent of nuclear families in India, a lot of couples work and stay in cities far off from their home towns. Along with social structures, the financial structures are changing rapidly. Multiple incomes, less time for wives at home, responsibility of managing kids. Amidst all this, new parents also have some pressing financial decisions to make which they cannot afford to miss. As soon as you welcome your little ones into the world, your dependents multiply and it is an important time to plan and adjust your financial life.

Lords of Earnings - Stocks that held steady in Feb 2018 correction

Feb 2018 has been a really bad month for stocks. Worryingly, the phenomenon is now also spilling into Mar 2018. Newspaper reports are as usual blabbering forecast after forecast only to be proved worthless. It is a proven fact that most newspaper reports are absolute junk and a waste of time in predicting market direction. You can also find experts on both sides of the table, some clamoring for more blood, others more hopeful but still fearful. Amidst all the noise, I am getting first hand experience of how difficult can it be to be hopeful when your portfolio is deep in red. At the same time, I realize though that it is a convenient opportunity to list down the stocks that have good fundamentals because those are the ones that see the least fall in this broad market weakness. Some such stocks that I see as of Mar 7 that have not fallen much are listed below: 1. Arvind Mills - Jeans manufacturer, ready for a demerger - stays around 380 with a brief fall 2. Asian paints - price...
