Hi, Its Srikanth Matrubai here. I am 36 years old Certified Mutual Fund Advisor based in Bangalore. I am in the stock markets since 1991. After going through the stock market turbelance for more than 17 years, my conclusion is that the mutual funds are the best avenue for investments. Share Market is the best avenue for returns but here you need patience, experience and lots and lots of luck and also you should be ready to lose some money (at least in initial stages) and last, but not the least, you should have deep pockets.
So, my advice is for the First 3-5 years you are better off investing in Mutual Funds, where even a SIP of 100 is available. My favourites are Birla Sunlife Frontline Equity, DSPML World Gold, DSPML Natural Resources, DWS Tax Saving Fund, Fidelity Equity, HDFC Prudence, HDFC Top 200, JM Contra, Principal Personal Tax Saver, Reliance Growth, Reliance Vision, SBi Magnum Balanced, Sundaram Select Focus, Sundaram Rural, Templeton India Equity Income, .
But whatever your choice of fund is, Always consult a Good Mutual Fund Advisor or Boarders like Ranjan, Wadia,Ashalanshu,Pcspune and always always preferably invest via SIPs. I am not calling myself as an expert but I am a student of Mutual Funds here to share views and exchange ideas and make myself a Competent Mutual Fund Advisor.
For Direct Stock Investment, my Long Term Picks are GMR INFRA, FORTIS HEALTHCARE, KARNATAKA BANK, RELIANCE PETRO, SANDUR MANGANESE, SHREE RENUKA SUGARS AND WEBEL SL ENERGY.

Dear Neeraj,
Instead of Gold ETFs you better invest in AIG world Gold Fund or DSPML World Gold Fund for better returns.
These funds invest in Gold Mining Stocks worldwide and have typically given returns above that of Gold. And moreover, you don't need a Demat Account for buying the fund.

Dear Munawar,
I think you have no other option but to average your purchase price. And, it is not a bad idea at all. Either way, Gmr Infra is a great Infra Stock. It will give outstanding returns, but the tide has to turn and you have to be patient till then.
the recent news of levying Use Development Fees will boost revenues and the Airport Division will break even. so, this Q2 result should be a Very Good one. Average now, and wait till Oct End. Maybe, you will get a chance to sell out without any substantial loss.
Of course, if you are willing to stay invested for 5 or more years, this is a Great Stock. ...

Dear Sir,
Now, that an acclaimed Mutual Fund expert also has dismissed as \"not good\", the Free Insurance from Reliance sip insure, it is time, investors looking at the combo of insurance and investment, look at either Birla sunlife Century Sip or DWS Tax Saving Fund.
Both these funds too offer free life insurance and at a lesser cost than Reliance.
But, of course, as Dhirendra Kumar, if your investment is for \"pure returns\", then there is nothing to beat Reliance Growth Fund. A must-have in any portfolio.
Regards,
Srikanth...

Dear mmb,
The boarder Amit Dhanuka, is right. The same happened with me. I had written a lenghty article on "Why to Invest in Mutual Funds". and though it appeared for a brief moment, it was deleted. I don't think that my article was baised against anybody nor was it abusive. infact it was very very informative.
I had put in lot of effort to write the article. but I was shocked to see the next day, that it was deleted. Who did that, mmb?

Dear Iyer,
Your expectation of 30% annual returns is difficult to digest in best of times. And these are not the best of times. You have to temper your expection. And for 30%, you say you can take moderate risk. My, My.
I think you are asking this question in the wrong forum. Mutual Funds are not for short term. Yes, you have a 5 year horizon, which is good. But still 30% annual return is little too much even for the best of the funds to generate on a continuous basis.
If you are expecting a reasonable return of say 15 to 18% than the following funds can make a good choice for you.
Birla sunlife Equity Fund
DSPML Tiger Fund
DWS Investment Opportunities Fund
JM Contra fund
Kotak opportunity fund
Lotus India Agile Fund
Reliance Growth fund
SBI commmodities fund
Sundaram Rural India Fund
Mirae Asset India Opportunities Fund
These are all good funds with a little bit of volatility, and over a period of 5 years or so can give you above average returns. But 30% annual, maybe Mutual Funds are not for you.
