First of all, Thank you, You made financial information easier to access and made it available in sequence. You saved time of many educated/un educated investors from all noise outside.

I wish your site should rank among best financial know how portal keeping Indian investor in mind, one wish list, if all this content comes in regional language + If you add more pictorial representation, more table based data, it will be ‘cherry on the Cake’ .

Now My Question !

Many working professionals like me are pissed off due to uncertainty and inability to make fortune out of opportunity. Also Many have lost their hard earned money in quest to make X times returns.

If you were me .. (Me as described above)

What instrument would you recommend in this ever changing Era ?

If my aim is to make at least 30-40 % money from money I invested along with squeezing
return time to 2012 (15 months).

I did it all, been investor, booked profit in some script at multiple ‘X’, did not booked profit and hence in loss in some scripts, so all in all I did both trading as well as investment.

I am ready to take high risk(even ready for down side of 20 %), hence expect 30 + % returns.

I know no one can time market, yet there are people who made fabulous money in market no matter what.

I have very little trust on Indian MF industry, till now I only invested in ELSS (SBI Magnum Tax Gain and HDFC Tax Saver) and not at all happy with Indian MF houses as they seat on cash and end up not giving enough divident So lesser returns in investor’s pocket, hence investor’s money is not well utilized.(as per my view).

Awaiting for your view on instrument to be used for my goal of 40 % in 15 month ?
