Thanks Anand.
Thank you very much for your clear-cut and crisp advice as “stay away”.
Thank you Kamalji
I have decided not to invest in loss making companies. Never invest
When company itself not making any profit how come it will give any value to shareholders.
How come sebi allows such companies for list and make investors to lose money. Very bad from sebi
Hello Raj, I echo with you. Paytm, Nykaa, Zomato etc., all were loss making companies, some performed well, some were disasters. Its riskier bet to invest in loss making companies.
Hi Suresh
Considering rate hike by rbi, could you please write one article covering strategy we should follow for debt funds. Like now people should park money in ultra short/ liquid and short term debt fund and then later after 6 months to one year shift money to longest duration debt fund to reap benefits of rate increase. I just thought of one way to benefit out of this. May be you could suggest different ways to capitalise on this opportunity with rate hike now likely to be a regular norm being followed by rbi.
