Hello Guys!

Hi !!

It has been a while that I have not interacted in this forum due to professional committments.

Just wondering especially Vicky, MrIndia and others, with the markets playing hide and seek with mostly snakes coming in its favor ((today below 15K) than the ladders, do you still think one should keep on doing Investments for the long run, say about 5 years?

Does this basic principle hold for all situations!

Honestly, How many of you have : (for MFs only)

a) Stopped Investing at the moment
b) Cut Down your Investment
c) Increased Investment

I am continuing to invest as per my earlier plan in Jan, but thinking of playing with option C.. putting some more money, I think I have about 7K surplus coming in pipeline.

Thanks

I think dip in the market is the only time to invest for long time investers like you and me. In MF you have to wait for 1-2 year.

For share trading also this is good time not the best, best yet to come becouse market will still go down. Indian market can not be insulated from word market.

Two big player china and USA are already in beer phase, election in USA and in india. India may get unstable goverment.

Oil price even come dn to $100 still high input price will kill the companies profits. So if you take the above factor in to account market still have chance to come dn.

Save the money to invest during every dip

Above view are mine, would like know others also.

thanks.

Hello Jeet!
Same old hesitant thoughts grip the investors in prolonged bear phase! As 'Timing the market' is almost impossible for anybody, best solution is to stick to ur SIPs.
As a matter of commonsense, bear grip cannot run for 'years', at least practically. So for investors with 3-5yrs horizon, continuing SIP is easy solution.
Personally I do additional purchases solely due to impulse s'times!

I have made no change to my investment.Continuing my SIPS in the same funds.
- DSP ML Equity, Magnum Contra, Reliance Growth, DSP ML Tiger, Birla Sunlife Tax Relief.

Birla Sunlife Tax Relief has increased its exposure to mid caps . So I am thinking of starting an SIP in Fidelity Tax Advantage.

Hi Vicky

Good to see your response. It has been a while since I communicated with you in this forum.

Also, thanks for the updation of Birla Sunlife mid cap exposure. I was not aware of that. I think I shall also switch to Fidelity Tax like you. copy cat

Anyways, just to remind you these are my following funds. And I am continuing to do my SIPS regularly though small amount. If you feel any change at this time, please do suggest me.

DSP ML EQUITY
DSP TIGER
HDFC PRUDENCE
MAGNUM CONTRA
MAGNUM TAX GAIN
BIRLA TAX RELIEF 96 (Planning to switch to Fidelity Tax)

Regards
