A lot of you reply to the daily emails with suggestions for posts, and I really appreciate that because it gives me post ideas, and I can write about stuff that is most relevant to you.
Normally, I take the gist of your suggestion; create a title of the post, and note it down on a virtual sticky note. But, the issue with this is that it is easy enough to miss an email, and sometimes the titles on the sticky notes don’t make any sense to me when I look at them later on.
So, I am creating a page here that is specifically for your suggestions for posts. You can leave a comment here suggesting an idea for a post, and if I know enough about the topic I will write about it.
That way we won’t lose track of anything you say, and if multiple people suggest the same topic for a post then I know that it should be written prior to moving on to other things.
Thanks for reading – and writing!

I am looking at possibilities to contribute to OneMint. I am an accomplished CA with extensive experience in reputable organizations. I can share more about me if required by you.
Thanks for your interest, but this is my personal blog and right now I’m not looking for contributions, perhaps you’ll be more suited contributing to a newspaper. Thanks!
Can you please write about FOREX trading( Not Currency futures, but spot trading through international brokers like http://WWW.FOREX4u.com ). especially for Indians covering mainly the pros and cons and legal aspects.

Hi Manshu!
I have been following your post from past 2-3 months and I liked it very much. I am interested in stock market, therefore, gathering knowledge on it. I want to know more about crude oil and its impact on market and economy of a country. Every time I tune into CNBC or while going through some business newspaper I came across this “CRUDE OIL or BRENT CRUDE” but I could not figure out its impact.
I would be grateful to if you could help me out.
Sure, good topic for a future post. Especially with the budget coming out and focusing on how much the subsidies have hurt India.
I have recently (within last 6 months) started reading your blog regularly and I really appreciate the efforts you take to educate your readers and the discussions that take place through comments.
I am interested in knowing more about target date funds and your analysis/opinion on investing into such funds from a long term perspective. What are the pros and cons of investing in these MFs and can you recommend any good picks for retirement target of 20 years from now?
Thanks!
Can i take a term insurance policy for a non-working spouse? DO you think we will need one?
Can u please explain the method of calculating “Earning per Share†(EPS) taking into account the Growth & PE.
Can we project “Forward earning†by (Present Sensex / Present Price Earnings)* “Expected Times Growthâ€
Does Sensex “Dividend Yield†and “Price to Book Value†play any role in projecting forward “Earning†figure?
I’m not sure I understand this properly. It appears that you know what EPS is and how it’s calculated but are interested in some sort of a Sensex estimation / prediction methodology that’s based on PE?
I don’t know if I’m interpreting it correctly, can you share a link if there is one that prompted this question.
Can u please clarify the concepts of YTM and relation between YTM (with calculationa) and Bond Prices with examples. Also the relationship between YTM ,interest rates and Bond prices. Some examples would be very useful
I have a fairly detailed post on YTM calculations here and perhaps that will be a good start:

I’ll see if I can add to it and write another post.
Hi Ankita… here is the link for your reference:

I hope it helps. In case of any further query, please let me know.
Hi
I have a basic or silly doubt. Please bear with me.
I have been holding L & T shares for the last 7 years and I bought these shares for various reasons. One of the reason is I would get shares from subsidiary companies of L & T if it get listed in stock exchanges. But when L & T Finance Holdings came for IPO , I didn’t apply for the IPO and being L & T shareholder I thought that I would few shares of L & T Finance but it was not so. Suppose, if L & T Infotech gets listed in future, whether I would get any shares of L & T Infotech for being the shareholder of parent company L & T .
Kindly explain me in detail why I didn’t get shares of L & T Finance Holdings ? Is it because of IPO of L & T Finance Holdings ? If anyboy say or believe with valid reasons that I should have got L & T Finance Holdings shares automatically being shareholder of L & T , then can I approach L & T Finance Holdings now ? If it had not come for IPO, whether I would have got shares of L & T Finance Holdings ? In future, whether I would get shares of L & T Infotech ?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards

Hi,
I am a regular reader of all the posts on One Mint and thanks to all concern for such a nice knowledgeable information.
I am on the verge of switching my job from an Indian Company to a Foreign Company based in India (its a work from home job). I will get my salary paid in USD. I was told by my friends that I can open NRE account in bank to get the salary in USD and can avoid income tax (Indian) since I will get my salary in USD. Also only on the interest pat I need to pay the income tax. Please suggest whether this idea of NRE account is true or is there any catch?
Thanking you.

Hi,
There is no article written on creating HUF to save tax. May be you could cover, what is HUF (A simple reference http://www.charteredclub.com/how-to-save-taxes-by-forming-huf/) and very importantly, how to create a HUF which is not clearly explained in many blogs and articles.
May be this is the right time as people will be looking for some alternate ways to save few bugs on tax.
I am planing to start the process soon, and will update you with details I have.
Cheers
Velu
I’m not familiar with this process Velu so I’m not sure how to go about writing an article on this. I think till I do this myself or find someone who has done this I will have to wait to write this post. If you’re undergoing this process and want to give some inputs then you’re welcome. Thanks!
I think it is fairly clear how, why and when FMPs are better than Bank Fixed Deposits. Can we please have an article on how to go about choosing the right fund house or scheme?
I don’t think there is much science when it comes to choosing FMPs, I’ll try to research this topic and see if there is something I can come up with.
