Hii all , i had a question in my head for a long time and was trying to get answer from here and there but no luck... so i finally decided to put up my question up here:-- like sip in mutual funds if we do sip in stocks directly like putting a fixed amount say 5000 on first monday of every month for a period of 5, 10 or may be 15 years in some stock say ACC or SBI, what would happen, what r the possible outcome, would this be profitable, how to backtest for the above said time span... i think this is possible and should be more profitable than sip in mutual fund's as here there r no entry or exit loads and no fee to be paid to MF manager's etc...can some one through some light am waiting eagerly....
