Introducing TIPBlog.in
Today, I am pleased to announce that “The Income Portfolio” blog has moved to a new domain. When I started this blog in February 2009, I did not think about the importance of simplicity of blog domain. I went along with the topic and hence picked the domain name as www.theincomeportfolio.com. Since then I have received few sporadic messages highlighting the fact that it is very descriptive, long, and needs effort to type blog address. Normally, I would not make a change until I receive overwhelming feedback (or critics?). But then I decided to do a little experiment.
I picked three domain names and asked my dad, mom, wife, sister, brother, and three friends to vote on which is easiest (and simpler) to identify and type. The choices I gave them were (1) theincomeportfolio.com; (2) TIPBlog.in; and (3) NewCash.in. To my surprise, TIPBlog.in received 7 votes, NewCash.in received one vote, and theincomeportfolio.com received zero vote. That made me think there is some merit behind the feedback I received on my blog. So I decided to make a change to TIPBlog.in
I have selected tick mark as logo for this blog. Tick mark signifies correct. Even to make a tick mark, one needs bring it down first, and then go up. The tick mark logo and color combination demonstrates that in short term it may appear that dividend and value investing is negative (in red), but in long term it is always up (in green).
There will no change in the subject matter and/or the content of the site.
- TIPBlog.in will continue to focus of dividend investing for cash flow using a value-based approach.
- I will continue to write under the name of TIP Guy.
- In interim, I am using redirect and add-ons as a way to transition to the new domain name. Therefore, I do not expect readers of this blog to make any change. My expectation is the bookmarks and RSS subscriptions will continue to work. If you are reading this using RSS feed in your email, you do not have to do anything. It worked!
How can readers of this blog help?
In many ways this is like starting all over again. If you have a blog that links to The Income Portfolio, please consider updating and linking to TIPBlog.in at http://tipblog.in
If something doesn’t appear to be working, leave me a comment or send me an email. I appreciate your patience through this transition.

domain change, theincomeportfolio.com, tipblog.in
new name is fine and everything looks OK. No broken links so far. I saw this “4u7n5rvg6c” at the end of your blog post – what does that mean?
Prasanth,
Thanks,
I have more questions to you:-
1) “What is Mutual Fund” how many public knows in our country in terms of population?
2)What will Tier-3,4 town,villagers will do? Will they contact with CFP(what is that? from their angel) or CFP will visits regularly all villages just like a doctor?
3) For those who have ordinary savings account system account How could they issue brokerage cheques to their agent?(though SEBI circular doesn’t say 2 cheque models)
4)What will be happen if agents are not disclose to investor what commission he is getting from other AMC? Is SEBI hiring detectives?
5) Those who don’t know about “Mutual Fund” who will educate them? (Though Rs800 crores lies in Govt investor education & protection fund) Why Govt is deaf & dumb regarding this matter?
6)80% money in Mutual Fund is from 10 metro Cities & 20% from rest of INDIA.In what interest an agent will chase behind remaining 80% financially illiterate public if he/she is not remunerate?(Definitely that public will never know the flavor of Mutual Fund)who will go to them?
7)Are you sure that entry loads is going towards agents commission?Have you carefully checked the balance sheets of any equity Mutual Fund Scheme compared with debt Mutual Fund schemes?(I found huge anomaly there)
Vojokotow,
You have very good questions, and they are valid and fully justified.
I would have been happy to comment, however, my comments will be speculation and personal opinion. I do not know much about mutual funds and hence, I am not the right person.
Thanks for your questions, it surely makes me curious too.
Best Wishes,
This definately makes it easy, and intuitive. Are you not worried that your blog will loose google indexing and page ranks.
Mansuri,
I do not expect to loose indexing and PR. But even if I do, I think it will come back in next two or three months.
Best Wishes,

Hello Mr.Tip Guy.Will you be please tell me when SEBI will implements this rule that investor may buy sell shares directly from bse,nse website and make payment online.Every time brokers are eating my % and if you calculate it is actually more than 2.25% entry load of equity mutual fund.Why need broker? I want to buy sell shares directly through stock exchange website.
Vojo,
That would probably never happen. Even in most advance and developed countries it is not allowed. I think, over time, the brokerage commission will come down.
Yes, I would agree, it is usually more than what is typically disclosed.
Best Wishes,
” 4u7n5rvg6c ” may be a verification code.
Anish,
You are right it is a verification code for technorati.
Best Wishes,
