Power of Long Term Investment !!!

nkpanjiyar · #1 26th May 2006, 11:23 PM

I am a strong believer in power of long term investment. To highlight my point let us take an example:

Infosys was issued at Rs.95 and if a person bought 100 shares i.e. invested 9500 Rs. then its value as on today stands at Rs. 1.98 crore after all splits and bonuses.

Isn't it magical. I doubt in a span of 15 years any trader has earned so much with just 9500 Rs. Correct me if I am wrong!

Think long term guys !!!

cheers,

Hi nkp

You have quoted a very famous example which is also my favourite one in support of investment. Looooooooong term investors dont have to worry if they chose well and keep track. GTB was such example which was supposed to be a strong company bit got liquidated. If somebody does not keep track of their holding well money disppreas.

But remember the thread Portfolio for year 2006. Not much contribution on that. People don't have patience of waiting to see the gains materialise. They want both shorts and longs whitout waiting for it.

There are many such stories like infosys. I know of a person ( retired as district judge who suffered much for his integrity in his career) who had purchased Some shares and remembered only at the time of his retirement(easy sale was not possible in those days in small district towns.). He sold his few shares and married off his daughter and still saved for his post retirement life.

Certainly, Long-term investing is more beneficial as the power of compounding works in favour. However, the example given may not be properly fitting as it's very hard to identify growth companies in their nascent stage. Besides, even if one is able to identify them, it's also highly probable that the companies may not be able to maintain pace after sometime and may collapse or the business model may become obsolete.

Hello Pankaj,

I am putting my comments in that thread, hope you revive the discussions.

Hello Friends!
Great discussion is going on.Well we must remember that for every Infosys,we need to loose money in some pentasoft,silverlinetechnologies etc.For every Hero Honda,one has to loose money in kinetic.This is the rule cause at nascent stage of a company you can not really tell how far it could go.We just have to monitor it.We have to visualise the things.Above all LOADS of patience is needed.Still it's worth trying.LONG TERM INVESTING is the REAL wealth Creator!
Great discussion guys!
Traderji forum is getting matured fast with valuable inputs from it's enlightened members! I'm feeling very happy about it.
God Bless You.

Noone will like to disagree but Returns always correspond with risk and in the long run risks are certainly on a higher side. One can get returns like those earned on Infy in trading as well if he assumes the same kind of risk.
