Earning - Inflation = Real Return

i.e. You invest in a scheme where you get 8% return on your investment. Now if we consider 6% inflation, you real rate of return would be only 2% (8% - 6% inflation) Is it enough to achieve your different goals of life?

Invest in ups & downs (Value averaging)

Who does not wish to purchase stocks at a lower price and sell it at a higher price? No one knows whether any given time is the right time to buy or sell? A more successful strategy is 'Rupee Cost Averaging' wherein you invest a fixed amount regularly. Thus you purchase more when the prices are low and purchase less when the prices are high. SIP investments take advantage of this strategy
