What is RBI Monetary Policy and How does this impact individual Stock Price and Personal Expense :)

Monetary Policy is generally declared by RBI and related to interest rate … I hope you all have heard this quite a often in news channels and from the speech of Rajan …. By the way what is this ? CPI,CRR,Repo,Rate cut …. OMG!!!! These are not easy and hence market is not my cup of tea J But in fact these are very simple at least common man understanding point of view … At least we can get an idea how this will impact our monthly family budget and stock market ….. So without wasting time let me start one by one...... Repo Rate: When banks want to borrow money from RBI , the rate at which RBI lends money to banks is called Repo Rate. Ex: If Repo rate is high then the then cost of borrowing is high .Then what will happen? Banks will lend money to us in a higher interest rate .Hence house loan , educational loan and other loans will be costlier for us .. Isn’t it !If banks will get loan from RBi at 8% interest rate , then they will give us loan more than that rate , it m...

Why Tata Metaliks moved from Rs 78 to Rs 409 in just 3 months !!!!!!

It is filing for a fresh scheme of amalgamation of Tata Metaliks Ductile Iron (DI) Pipes (TMDIPL), its wholly-owned subsidiary with it. Tata Metaliks is one of the largest manufacturers of foundry-grade pig iron in the world.  Though its consolidated revenues for the March quarter declined by 7%, its profits rose by 71%, to Rs48.62 crore from Rs28.43 crore. It had a return on capital employed (RoCE) of 37%.  Tata Steel calls off Tata Metaliks merger - (Tata Steel non merger is a major relief for  Tata Mettaliks .Tata Steel is a value destroyer for minority stock holder for more than a decade now)         However, it is concentrating on high-value ductile iron pipes which are mostly used for water transmission. Some analysts expect that the DI pipes segment will benefit from government thrust on irrigation and healthy water access.  Disclaimer : I am holding this stock in my portfolio . Hence i may be biased and i may be wrong...

Why NPS is a Bad investment Product ?

Is NPS really good for investment!!!! What is NPS? It is National Pension Saving scheme introduced by govt …. The rules are so complex beyond the understanding of common man. After communicating many people I got to know they only invest in this because Govt is sponsoring this …. If at all NPS invests in Stocks since Govt sponsoring this , so it might be safe and guaranteed to invest  in this J --- Many people thinks, who stay away from mutual funds because it is stock market dependent :D Let me tell you NPS will not provide annuity . The aim of NPS is to provide you corpus. you need to buy one from the insurer’s . The lists are as here NPS is not giving you any guaranteed returns like EPF or PPF. NPS is like a mutual fund and carries all the risk like a mutual fund carries. 80% will be annuitized if you retire before   60 (after Budget 2016, 40% is tax free withdrawal, 80% of remaining corpus has to be annuitized official confirmation awaited).  This ...

Are Indian Banks Bankrupt????

I read this article 3 months back in money life in a lighter note and thought the situation might not be so bad. After seeing the current quarter results of banks, now I think I must have written this blog long back. If few investor read this blog 3-4 months back , they would not have lost their hard earned money by investing in banks at peak!!!  It really happened to each and every bank is now and they are giving true picture of NPA after RBI come with a stick. The banking sector growth (PAT) had been declined by 14.1% as per RBI Financial Stability Report (Issue No 11, June 2015) Extracted From PWC Banking Analysis.
