ETF's Can Get Returns On Par With Market

The legendary mutual fund always insisted on bringing down the costs of fund management for the simple reason that any savings on costs by the mutual fund scheme that you have pit your money in would add to the corpus. And, in the long run, this could make a substantial difference to the total corpus you accumulate compared to what you would have got if the costs were higher.

The result of such a logic was the launch of exchange traded funds, popularly known as exchange traded funds (ETF's), although lately other types of ETF's have also been launched in the market with varied degrees of success.

ETF's are usually passively managed funds, meaning these funds track some benchmark index or the price of some physical or financial assets and, unlike regular mutual funds, do not try to outperform their benchmark index by regularly buying selling the portfolio of  stocks.

So, naturally ETF's come with much lower costs compared to actively managed ones. Supporters of the active funds management style often say that good fund managers can beat the market and give you higher returns, but the fact of the matter is at times even the best of the fund managers also underperform the market. One of the best things about ETF's is that if you are invested in an ETF, you would get a return that is on par with the market.

The chance of you being disappointed with your returns in comparison with the market returns is very low, according to an official at a domestic house.

आरबीआई ने सोने के सिक्कों और गोल्ड से संबंधित निवेश उत्पादों की बिक्री को लेकर तकरीबन 30 बैंकों पर अपनी निगाहें जमा दी हैं। भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक दरअसल यह पता लगाने की कोशिश कर रहा है कि इन बैंकों के कर्मचारी इस तरह के उत्पादों की बिक्री की खातिर ग्राहकों को गुमराह तो नहीं कर रहे हैं।

Trees Don’t Grow Gold

The fall in the materials and energy sectors was not matched by the finance sector. Financial stocks were down, but not nearly as much as anything commodity related. That’s worth noting. There are at least some sectors of the market taking note of underlying events in the real economy.

Energy and materials are not sectors likely to be driven by enthusiasm for more quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve. In fact, the fall in commodities and most of the stocks in extractive industries can be seen as a market repudiation of the healing power of QE. Bernanke may be pumping up financial stocks and financial earnings, but he’s doing a whole lot of nothing for the well-being of the real economy.

It should be noted that all of this price action in gold, commodities and the stock market happened before two explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon late Monday afternoon. Markets have become less sensitive to these types of events over the years. But the explosions in Boston will certainly contribute to a sense of fear and uncertainty in the markets. In the past decade, those two sentiments have usually been accompanied by rising gold prices. But gold is currently in the grip of an epic liquidation.

Who is selling and why? Those are interesting questions. But ultimately, both are unknowable. It could be leveraged hedge funds who were long gold or who used gold as collateral to lever up on stocks. It could be owners of large positions in ETFs. It could be manipulation. It could be panic.

What are the “fundamentals”? That gold is an asset that is no one else’s liability, for starters. Beyond that, the last month has provided you with evidence that in a pinch, the political and monetary authorities will confiscate your savings. Central banks across the planet continue to print money and monetize government debt. These are all facts too.

It tells you that the people who control and profit from the printing and use of paper money are willing to do just about anything to retain their rank and privilege. It’s their system, and it works well for them. They do not like the gold price acting as a signal of public confidence (or lack thereof) in paper money or public finances.

But take all the emotion of wild price swings out of it, if you can. Ask yourself whether you think paper money will gain or lose value over the next 10 years. And then ask yourself if you would rather have money in the bank or precious metals in your hands. The answer to that question will tell you all you need to know.

Invest in companies that everybody else is avoiding. . .

Don't get me wrong - I'm not telling you to invest in bad stocks. People are obviously avoiding them for a reason.

But sometimes, even perfectly good stocks get ignored due to some misconceptions. Those are the companies I'm telling you to go after.

Let me explain...

See, we all know there are no better companies than the large caps when it comes to stability.

• Large caps are all well-established companies with stable earnings and no extensive liabilities.
• They are well-managed and have consistently performed across business cycles
• They have the resources to not only weather the downturns and disturbances, but also emerge stronger from them
• Long-term prospects for large caps are outstanding

So the risk associated with large caps is very low, and you can be almost certain of steady returns and dividends from them year after year.  

All that Glitter's is ofcourse GOLD...

Gold and oil are both taking a hit as we write... albeit only slightly.The bulls are seeing red today. The markets are holding their muletas, and agitated investors are charging at full speed, intent on taking everything down.

“Bank of America was the biggest drag on the Dow, after it missed first-quarter earnings estimates, despite an uptick in revenue. Higher investment banking revenue was offset by lower mortgage banking income.

“Other bank stocks followed Bank of America’s lead, with shares of JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs all down more than 3%.” 

Others see the panic hitting Apple, and seem to be panicking themselves.

“Wall Street Slumps in Broad Decline, Apple Sinks,” reads one headline.

“Fears Over Weak Earnings Hit Apple,” reads another.

Lots of negative sentiment, in other words. And lots of reasons to be fearful. And when that’s the case, we can’t help but turn to our favorite investment in uncertain times... regardless of how the markets may be viewing it: gold.

Love it, hate it or just plain indifferent to it, you cannot deny that gold has existed as a form of wealth for thousands of years. And, perhaps more importantly, will likely be valued as such for thousands more.

Of course, that’s just speculation. But then, so is the belief that any paper currency will be around that long. Or any stock, corporation or government. Like most things, those entities are fleeting. And any naive faith in the contrary is as misguided as those things are transitory.

Now, you may be confused. Just this morning, in your Rude Awakening, Greg Guenthner vehemently recommended you don’t buy gold.

“I can’t make this any clearer,” Greg wrote. “You shouldn’t even consider trying to buy gold right now.”

And that’s fine... if you’re someone who decides to buy gold based on the current market price.

We prefer to purchase gold regardless of what the market thinks it’s worth. Because to us, and countless others throughout history, it will always be worth something. Which is more than we can say for the world’s plethora of flimsy fiat currencies.
 

GOLD ETF's still a better bet to Invest....

Compulsive shoppers are queuing up outside jewellery shops in large numbers to make the most of the recent falls in gold prices. A shopper who managed to get inside a shop in Mumbai says the store resembled an overcrowded long distance local train during peak hours.

From a record high of Rs. 32500/- per 10 gm in November, the yellow metal has tumbled to Rs. 25680/- on Wednesday. However, after the recent fall there are many voices singing in the chorus about the demise of gold. Fears of Cyprus gold sale, liquidations in ETF's and unwinding of long positions by institutions in the international markets have contributed to downfall.

"Selling gold at these levels  is not is not advisable at all. Hold on to your current gold investments . Remember gold is akin to currency, in the long run, it will move up".As of  those waiting in the wings, many experts believe that they should consider investing in gold in a piecemeal manner now.

The gold prices are are very close to bottom now. Investors should not try to time the market and instead invest systematically through gold ETF's or demat gold on the exchanges like NSEL. Remember, the gold ETF's are always better than physical gold investment. Apart from better liquidity, it also eliminates the making charges and cost and risk of safe keeping. The pricing structure is also transparent.
