Hi
I just read an article where it showed some calculation how your money would grow if you stay invested for some years in stock market.
What I could not understand is the fact that it showed from period June 2008 where the sensex level was 20000 and June 2010 where the sensex level was again close to 20000.
I thought if I had invested 10K in June 2008 and want to withdraw in June 2010, I would have only 10K (no returns) as the sensex level is same. However the writer said in between the above period you would have got absoulte 34% returns.
How is that possible if I selected growth option. Would my money be more than 10K in June 2010? I know it could be a dumb question, but hope some experts will help me to unreveal this.
If I am going to get some returns then what is profit booking all about I wonder.
Guys, please do reply.
Thanks
Jeet
