I have been focusing on writing about long term investments and attempting to show the virtue of patience, efficacy of well defined plan, and importance of following your own investment process. Most of the time I have focused only on dividend based investing at a fair value and I will continue doing that. I plan on adding few topics. During this next quarter, I am going to do following:

Publish Quarterly Progress Update

I have received quite a few messages that express fear factor about long term investing. Many individuals are not able to grasp 10+ investing horizon. Many cite example of Satyam and SENSEX tanking in 2008 to show that stock market is a gamble and it is just not right to think in 10+ years of time frame. For many of my readers, long term means 2 years. I find this very intriguing. In this context, I have decided to publish quarterly update of my portfolio. My objective in publishing this quarterly update will be to demonstrate to my readers, how I measure my progress, and how I manage the risk in my long term portfolio. I will be publishing my quarterly update only once. After that, I will be emailing it only to RSS subscribers of this blog.

e-Book on Preparing Investment Roadmap

This e-guide book will available to readers of TIP blog. The purpose of this e-guide book is to share with my readers how to develop your own investing roadmap. This method is not based on any hypothetical principles or is not out of any academic books. It is based on common sense which we seldom use. I have been using this process for last 10 years and hence, have learnt quite a bit of my own lessons. It has worked for me in past, it is working for me in present, and I am confident it will continue to work in future. I am now sharing this process with readers on this blog. This e-guide book will be available only to subscribed readers. I will email my e-guide book during last week of June 2009.

Private Equity Asset Class

Investing in stocks is just one asset class. In addition to dividend focused investing, I am also passionate about private equity asset class. When we talk about private equity, the first thing that comes to our mind is big words like angel investor or venture capitals. For investing in private equity it is not necessary to be a big time investor. I agree it is one of the most risky asset class, but rewarding too. Therefore, on this blog, I will add the topic of private equity class for do-it-yourself individual investors. Over the next quarter, I will introduce private equity class and discuss about the good, the bad, and the ugly experiences I have had in last few years.

Blog’s Domain Name

This is very unusual and I am surprised by this one. I have received four messages expressing difficulty or confusion about the blog’s address. Readers have difficult time to convey the address for this blog. They wanted me to look into simpler domain name. Well, to be honest, when I thought of a domain name, I never thought of this aspect. I did not think of making it easy to remember. I agree with these comments, and hence, I will look into changing to a simpler domain name. I am not an IT guy so please allow me sometime to learn about it. If anybody out there would like to voluntarily help me, I would be happy to take the help.

I hope TIP blog continues to value your time and it makes your visit here worthwhile.
