LIC vs Stocks

    My Father gifted me a policy when I was is class 10 having policy no 445377**. At the age of 22 I change the portfolio of the investment . Let see what I have found. ( I am not saying that this one is a bed investment at that time. He is a visionary entrepreneur, risk taker, investor and most importantly a great man of humility. In 2015 he planned for next 35 years for his child.)

        Start Date- Oct 2015 

        Closing Date- Oct 2050 

        Term of the Policy- 35 years. 

        Sum maturity amount- 10 lakhs+ Bonus( fully depends on branch) 

        Monthly Payment- 2075+2.25% GST = 2121.68 

        Total Payment in 35 years= 2121.68x12x35= 891105.6 ( 8 lakhs 91 thousand) 

    

    Let we close the policy on 8 Jan 2022. We get 1,08,263/-. We invest in Indian economy. Let say in any index fund which provide 16% annual return in last 30 years. 

    Let consider that in next 30 years index will give 14% return ( Future of Indian is very very bright.) we are considering the minimum return.

Case 1- Calculation for next 29 years. As we show the policy will mature in 2050. So 2050-2022= 28 years( almost 29 years , policy will mature on oct 2050.) and we close the monthly primum of 2,121/-.

    Here we have 

        Years- 29 years 

        Percent Yield- 14% ( considering minimum) 

        Initial Balance- 1,08,263/- 

        Monthly Contribution- 00 

Then our final maturity Balance on 2025- 61,30,690/- in our investment on index. 


Case 2- if we continue our monthly contribution of 2,121/- 

    Here we have 

        Years- 29 years 

        Percent Yield- 14% ( considering minimum) 

        Initial Balance- 1,08,263/- 

        Monthly Contribution- 2121/- 

Then our final maturity Balance on 2025- 1,62,43,817.11/- in our investment on stock.


*Another problem rises in long term investment is Present value of future cash flow. Let say I lend a money 100 to someone and he return the money after one year . He return me 100 but in that year inflation is raised by let say 4%. Then present value of future cash flow is calculated by


Here  
        PV= present value 
        FV= future value 
        r= rate of interest or inflation 
        n= number of year 
In our case in 1 year my 100 rupees become
If he return 100 after two years it become

This type of calculation is applicable to the policies where we get our money after a long periods of time. In our policy we get our money in 35 years later. If inflation is only 4% then we get



This one is the present value of 10lakhs ( bonus are not calculated) that we are going to get in 2050.

So real picture of our investment is here.

Opportunity Cost

Mistakes are an integral part of our life, and when it comes to the stock market, these are even more common. The goal is to reduce these mistakes as much as possible. I have  missed several opportunities in the last 3-4 years that had cost me to gain a significant amount of money. When I look back, I regret not recognizing those opportunities at the right time. The Case of Zomato: A Lesson in Hesitation One of the biggest opportunity costs I have paid was missing out on Zomato . When Zomato launched its IPO, I was completely uninterested due to its high valuation and lack of profitability. I started tracking it from its listing price of ₹126 , but I found the valuation too high for a serious investment. From July 2021 , the stock began to decline, reaching ₹40-50 . I observed it closely, analyzing its balance sheet multiple times. I still remember listening to Samir Arora in an interview mentioning that Zomato was a good buy at that price. At that moment, I was 80% convinced that...

Course on Fraud Trading

Firstly, I am not a trader. I have not made a single trade in my life until now. My job is to be a full-time investor.      Let's take a look at the actual issues. Now a days trading became so popular in Assam. Specially, the selling of trading-related courses have became so popular. But it has been seen that a lot of fraud is happening in various parts of the India for the last few years. It’s so sad to see that the so called "trends" came so lately in Assam and people also get trapped in those.     Presently t here has been a large amount of fraud in the market, but people are not aware of it. So be very careful in trading your hard earned money. A lot of fraud come in front of the market, so do some analysis and try to figure out the real possible way to make money in the stock market.      From few days I have been seeing a lot of videos on the Assamese YouTube channel, but I have not found the answers that I have been looking for. Let's revie...

Investing is all about "Law of the Farm"

     Hello everyone. Shaishab here. For the last few months I have been trying to get some concept of behavioral finance. It is one of the most important and vast portions of the equity market. Lots of concepts came under this behavioral finance like Sunk Cost Fallacy, Psychological Constraints, False Consensus Effect, Myopic Loss Aversion, Confirmation Trap, Peer Pressure Effect, Availability Heuristic and so on. I did not know much about this concept. Just trying to make a note on one of my favorite concepts so that after 10-20 years I can read it and evaluate my present thinking. It is one the biggest portion of the equity market. I did not know 1% of this, so I may be wrong in some portion. The main thing in behavioral finance is that, as Rakesh Jhunjhunwala said in 2012 in a lecture in Flame University “Behavioral Finance can not be taught, it has to be learned.”      Now comes to one of my favorite concepts of Behavioral Finance. Which is g...
