The Monkey , Goat and Stock Story :)

By
So there was this village where one day a man appeared and said that he wanted to buy monkeys. He said that he would pay a hundred rupees per monkey. The villagers caught all the monkeys in the neighborhood and sold them to him for a hundred rupees each. Soon another man appeared and said that he would pay two hundred rupees for each monkey. But there weren't any more monkeys around. They were all owned by the first man. So the villagers went to him and said that they were willing to take the monkeys back and return his money. But the monkey owner was unwilling to sell. The villagers raised the offer price to Rs 150 per monkey, then Rs 175 and finally to Rs 199 but the man just didn't want to sell, even though he clearly didn't have any use for the monkeys.

Is debt fund is better than a FD with 10% interest?

By
Last weekend I thought of doing a FD and was checking with various corporate FD and Bank FDs What I found DHFL corporate FD for 40 months is giving 10.10% interest. But I had a mixed  experience with FDs because last time when I did FD with HDFC ltd , though I did with high interest rate of 10.50%, I got minimal return because of taxation. This time I did not want to repeat the same mistake. So I was checking what are other avenues where post tax return for me would be better than these high interest rate FDs. I found debt funds are better than bank FDs in long run for post-tax return. Now question arises how?  J Before understanding we need to understand  Cost Inflation Index(CII) What is CII? It is used for calculating long term capital gain from income tax act section 48 CBDT has notified the Cost Inflation Index (CII) for Financial Year 2014-15. Complete Notification is Given Below.
