  • Are real estate prices supported by your branch manager?
    (Oct 8, 2009)

    (Dec 2, 2009)

    I wish gold falls by -50% to Rs 9,000 per 10 grams.

    Now, don't get me wrong: I own some units of the Quantum Gold ETF (QGOLDHALF is the scrip code on the NSE) and have no plans to sell it in the near future. And I think that Chirag and the team at Quantum AMC are doing a fabulous job as the fund manager of the Quantum Gold ETF and keeping you informed of their views on gold via The Golden Truth.
  • Breakdown - or breakout?

    (Sep 22, 2009)

    Now that gold has crossed the psychologically important level of USD 1,000 - and stayed above that level for 4 trading days - the question in everyone's mind is: what next?

    In Indian Rupee terms, the price of gold is at Rs 16,000 per ten grammes. This is still -0.74% below the peak of Rs 16,118 which was reached on February, 24, 2009.

  • Should we fire the Fund Manager?
    (Oct 23, 2009)
    Or should the Board of Quantum Asset Management Company Private Limited fire me?

    Or, worse, should investors in the Quantum Long Term Equity Fund bail out and put their money in some other equity mutual fund?
  • Shaken by the sheikhs
    (Nov 30, 2009)

    The rabbit is a restless and nervous animal.

    And investors, like frightened rabbits, went scurrying to safer haven on news that Nakheel, a real estate development company owned by the government of Dubai, would seek a 6-month moratorium on the payment of their interest and debt. Monies due in December 2009 by Nakheel would now be paid after May 2010.
