Vojokotow,

I do not anticipate direct trading on BSE/NSE for retail or small investors. It can only be done through brokers (and/or sub-brokers). Even in developed world, such type of trading is not allowed.

However, the difference is in India, the brokers eat away a lot of commission. In developed world, brokers have fixed low trading fee (and not % based). As Indian economy and financial services mature, it will come down.

However, it may take few more years (may be 8 to 10 years before that happens).

Best Wishes,

Appreciate you leaving your comments.

Mansuri,

Thanks for your good words.
Slow down in stock analysis is due to my schedule at work place. In my style of investing, I am always interested in stocks. Timming does not have significant role to play.

I am receiving a lot of questions on my position about Mutual Funds. Give me sometime I will come with a post to provide a my perspective and my thoughts.

Meanwhile, can you have give me some examples for MF that you would like to me to use as discussion point.

Thanks for your comment.

Best Wishes,
