25th year: Unicorn, Dinosaur or Guide?

25th year is a nice milestone in the journey. Equitymaster has also shone some agility recently in adapting with the changing investment pattern in Indian Stock market. Changing Investment environment, EPF and PPF entering the ETF, interest rate concern on quality fixed income, purchasing power depreciation, and internet enable investment option to the hands of relatively young folks with a willingness to take risks - are changing the investment dynamics, diversifications and timeframe for focus. Being a reserve member for over a decade, I'd like to suggest two things - 1. I believe it's now the time to think about a service for building a Retirement portfolio for a "common man" gradually with quality assets ( Stocks[Domestic, international ETF/index funds]/Bonds/Gold/Crypto[?], etc.) and 2. Recategorizing stocks pools from different offerings under a consolidated umbrella based on current theme with a holistic rating on buy, accumulate, hold, reduce, or sell from wealth preservation perspective which might differ from the views associated with their individual focused offerings.

Congratulations for achieving the current landmark and best wishes for a successful journey in building a trusting organization for generations.

Cheers,
Rahul.

Way back in 1998 or 1999, myself and one of my colleague (who is also a friend from college days) went to a small office in Vidyavihar for portoflio guidance of mutual funds that profiles different life goals. We both were nervous because this was an unknown path we have never treaded, neither our forefathers. But one thing I noticed (and we discussed later also) is the unassuming and concerned friendly behaviour of the personnel. We started our investment journey. Then I came to know abour equitymaster and also came to know that it is same as personalfn. Then I came across writings of Shri Ajit Dayal and Ms Tanushree Banerjee (in those days) - they are so down trodden and not bombastic at all. And more specifically, even a novice like me used to understand what they want to say!!! I liked their way of thinking. Slowly, I started with StockSelect,then to Hidden Treasure (that is much later) - and gradually to a reserve member. I am still a fumbler, but with the equitymaster team I am, atleast, rest assured that I am in good hands.
Thank you Ajit Dayalji for creating such a wonderful concept forservice of common citizens.

Congratulations Mr AJIT DAYAL. The people at Equity Master are doing a great job under your guidance

Indeed as you rightly said your good intentions behind every recommendatio has stood the test of time. In an age of unscrupulous stock advisers you have alone shined bright refusing to toe their line by sticking to honesty and integrity. May your tribe increase!

I would never have had the nerve to try to navigate the world of stocks on my own. But when I discovered some write-ups by Equimaster contributors around seven years ago, I began to feel that not everyone is out just to make a fast buck. That there is a new India evolving where professionalism is taken seriously. Even though I am still a bit hazy about detailed business analyses, the EqM recommendations provide me enough understanding to be able to make decisions and make some money. Sending a big thank you and many congratulations!
May God bless you all.
