Hi,
Pl read this,we have big opportunity in India
"I believe the next decade will give us fantastic investment opportunities in fixing the world's creaky infrastructure. From roads and bridges to water and power supply... there's trillions of dollars that are going to be spent. Matt Simmons, the oft-quoted energy analyst, likes to say, "Rust never sleeps."
The whole oil and gas infrastructure is a "vast spider web of steel." There are over 335,000 miles of pipelines in the U.S. alone. There are hundreds of refineries in the world, as well as thousands of tank farms, gas stations, and oil and gas wells.
Such infrastructure requires a lot of maintenance, which is not cheap. On the heels of two decades of low oil prices, much of the industry deferred a lot of maintenance. As Simmons says: "The entire value chain is built of steel. Steel begins to corrode the day it is cast."
The risk of failure – of leaks or breakages – is high. "If the world wants to continue using energy, its assets need to be rebuilt. Simple law of nature," Simmons says. "The construction job will rival the combination of building the World War II war machine, the Marshall Plan rebuilding of Europe, and the post-World War II Interstate Highway System."
Here's one example, just a snippet of the infrastructure the industry is building: Shell is putting together a $1.5 trillion energy project in the Middle East – a massive gas-to-liquids plant in Qatar. It is as large as 450 football fields. It will require 300,000 tons of steel and employ 35,000 workers.
All the while, the prices of steel, cement, copper, etc., continue to rise. People, too, are hard to find, like parking spaces in Manhattan. It's a massive opportunity. The offshore boom only adds to the urgency of it all.
The Most Important Infrastructure Trend in the World Today
An Extraordinary Income Opportunity in the Energy Market
Developing economies like India, Russia, and China are using up lots of steel pipe, cement, and energy. Pipeline investments are just one of the exciting angles here. My readers have more than doubled their money on Northwest Pipe, one of the leading pipe makers in America. The companies that build offshore energy infrastructure also look cheap right now.
My message to all investors is: Make sure to own some investments on this theme. The demand here is enormous. The returns should be as well.
Good investing,
Chris Mayer...

One lakh is enough just for 3 to 4 months expenses if you wish to live decently. Where i can go for the rest. I bought a house in Mumbai when i was working early days for 30000 (one room flat in Sion) Today the open car park is sold for 3 lakhs (then comes the cost of the house starting from as low as 60 lakhs) What to do with one lakh. Please take the message in lighter side- i am just writing that today there is no value for one lakh rupees. Cheers Latikav...

Five ways to invest Rs1 lakh :)
Posted by :

Last year, if you had Rs1 lakh that you could invest as you pleased, you would probably have gone straight to the stock market. In difficult times, however, you need to evaluate your investment decisions a little better. If you have Rs1 lakh to invest today, this is how you should look at it.
Keep some cash
First of all, make sure you have 3-6 months of living expenses saved up. With inflation at almost 12%, and looking to stay high, you will have higher outflows in the monthly budget for your home. You have two options. One is to keep this contingency money in a savings account that is linked to a fixed deposit. This way, you will earn a slightly higher rate of interest as well as have penalty-free easy access to your funds should you need them.
The other option is to invest this money in fixed maturity plans (FMP) of short durations. FMPs are closed-end, debt-based funds with fixed dates of maturity. They aim to generate returns that are indicated at the time of the launch of the scheme. Their tenure ranges from one month to five years. These will give you a higher return than the savings bank account, and usually offer much more attractive returns after adjusting for tax when compared with fixed deposits.
Buy medical insurance
Economic slowdown is likely to affect employment. Companies will seek to cut the flab and though new jobs will be generated, you would not be as spoilt for choice as you have been in the last few years. If you only have a health insurance plan from your employer, it would be worthwhile to buy yourself a policy now. If the worst happens and you are laid off for a period of time, you do not want to risk falling ill and having to pay your medical bills as well.
Pay off your loan
This is the simplest answer. Interest rates are going up. Your EMI and your tenure may have been increased several times in the last few years. If you have some money to spare, try and pay off as much of your loan as possible. First, pay off credit card debts and personal loans, then look at home loans. For example, if you have a home loan of Rs20 lakh today, and you prepay Rs1 lakh, you will be saving Rs1,64,260 on interest costs alone.
Buy blue-chip stocks
If you do not have a loan to pay off or would rather invest that money, the stock market can be a worthy destination. In the close to 40% loss witnessed by the markets in the last six months, several stocks that were astronomically priced have come into fair valuation zones. If you do not have any immediate use for your Rs1 lakh, you can invest this in some good blue-chip stocks. Stay clear of interest-rate-sensitive sectors, look at pharmaceutical and FMCG companies (which are better options in these times).
However, if you do not want to take the risk of picking the wrong stocks, you could invest this money in an exchange-traded fund (ETF). An ETF invests in stocks in the exact proportion as the index it mirrors. If the Nifty grows 15% annually in the next five years, so will your money.
Invest in an MF
If you are not sure at all about investing all your money in a stock market that seems to be gaining and losing 1,000 points every other day, you could look at a systematic transfer plan (STP) in a mutual fund. Under this, you invest your lump sum of Rs1 lakh in a debt fund. So you get a consistent, but low return. Then you mandate the fund house to transfer a portion of this money every month to a designated equity fund. This way, if the market slips down significantly, you can take comfort in the fact that only a portion of your money is invested and if the market rises, your increased exposures will add to your wealth.
THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH Rs1 LAKH
• Keep 3-6 months’ expenses as contingency cash
• Buy medical insurance
• Pay off loan
• Invest in an ETF
• Invest through STP in a mutual fund

For those expecting the Sensex to touch 16,000 in the near term, last week\'s market trend came as a jolt. With inflation continuing its upward trend, there wasn\'t much good news and as a result, on Thursday, the Sensex lost over 400 points. It has once again brought back the fears of corrections at regular intervals and consensus is growing in favour of a weak market in the near term.
While the earlier sore points of high inflation and resulting higher interest rate regime continue to exist, the bad news during the week came in the form of higher crude oil prices. The mild surge in oil prices has strengthened the case for bears who are once again back in action. With traders too taking comfort in going short, one cannot expect a huge recovery in the stock prices in the coming days. Much of the uptrend would be triggered by short covering than value buying.
But the good news for long-term investors is that the market has begun to show resilience and the current weakness has factored in most of the bad news. The intermittent selling pressures , largely driven by foreign financial institutions, needs to lose momentum for the local investors to commit larger cash. The local institutional investors like insurance companies and mutual funds, have been sitting on a larger components of cash and have preferred to play the wait and watch game.
The strategy can\'t be completely different for retail investors. While those who are playing a long game can still have a go at equity, it would be advisable to opt for a staggered approach. In fact, many analysts recommend a much lower allocation for equity during the current year if the time horizon is less than two years. For such investors, the systematic approach would be a better option. In the case of direct stocks, buying at regular intervals would be the right strategy. The immediate question is how one chooses the buying opportunity .
A weakness in the market could be of two types. As has been the trend over the last couple of quarters, the markets slip into selling pressure on regular intervals where the indices end up losing over 300-400 points in a single session. On such trading days, there is a significant downtrend in most stocks and you can use the day to pick up stocks in large and fundamentally-strong mid-caps .
Buying in such a market trend is probably easier though one would be tempted to wait for the bottom . The easier option in such a case would be to fix a range for the index for getting into the buying mood. For instance, the index level could be in the range of 14,000-14 ,200 or even 13,500-13 ,800.
While the broader index level can make you jump into a buying mood, keep an eye on your individual stocks. There have been instances where individual stocks have managed to hold on to their levels or not buck up under pressure despite the general weakness. While such instances are far and few, investors should look for such stocks and investment decisions need to be driven by the strength and weakness of individual stocks.
While picking stocks in a weak market is probably much easier, particularly in large-cap stocks, another option for equity investors is to allocate a portion of the corpus for mutual funds too. Mutual funds allow you to buy into a larger basket of stocks and it\'s probably much easier for investors to take exposure in the current scenario. The added advantage with mutual funds is the fact that a systematic approach is much easier thanks to daily systematic transfer or weekly systematic investment plans.

I think new RBI gov. needed now as policies seem big failures. CRR hiked even at Inflation 3.5%. & this is really the time at Iflation 12.9% when aggressive CRR hikes should be done. but cant do that now. So, entire policy went opposite. Is it purposely done to weakene the rupee?. It actually, made huge price rise in Gold & crude. may be it is manupulated for gold....
