subscribed market tips from saral gyan capital services.
subscription fees 3000/- per annum.फॉर याच pack
products :
a]hidden gems [small caps ]
b] 15% in 90 days [short to medium tips]
Saral Gyan offers indepth and extensive research reports of small companies in terms of market capital. Financial Analyst and Experts in Saral Gyan covers a large universe of small cap stocks and evaluate all key parameters of various companies in a particular sector to explore hidden gems. (also known as multibagger stocks)
b]Saral Gyan Launches 15% @ 90 DAYS
Equity analysts team will recommend a stock with buying & target price on monthly basis and target price to buying price will be evaluated based on technicals with an upward range of 17% to 20%.
Why 15% @ 90 DAYS?
Many people believe that buy and hold is the best strategy to employ for the long term.
However, over a period of couple of months, a person who buys 100 XYZ shares at 100 each, sees them rise to 120, sees them decline to 85, and then rise back up to 115, he is not getting an overall return as good as he thinks.
What he has lost is the opportunity cost associated with the down period of time.
However, the return over the same period would have been much greater, if the investor had sold the securities and then bought them back at a lower price.
This works whether the investor takes the cash proceeds from the sale and puts them to work in a savings account, or for any other investment.
In real life, the investor would not sell exactly at the top and he would not buy exactly at the bottom. He would sell below the top and buy above the bottom.
Nevertheless, the return is still superior to the buy and hold strategy.
How 15% @ 90 DAYS works?
15% @ 90 DAYS works on Buy to Sell & Gain Strategy for short term as well as long term investors.
An individual as an investor will buy shares based on the recommendation every month and sell them once target price is achieved within expected time frame of 90 days, he/she needs to sell entire his/her holdings to book profits and use the same principal sum invested earlier to buy the next recommended stock.
Hence, using minimum capital requirement, one can keep on realizing the profits at regular time intervals. Needless to say, these stocks would not be part of long term portfolio as the basic objective of investments is booking profits in short term.
Does 15% @ 90 DAYS service delivers returns during market correction?
You do agree that fundamentally good stocks also experience downward move during market corrections. Stock market offers risks along with rewards, that is one of the reason why 15% @ 90 DAYS buy calls will be based on technical chart patterns to ensure limited downside risk. Hence if target price is not achieved in 90 days due to market correction, stock may not tumble down heavily to shrink your working capital.
Benefits of 15% @ 90 DAYS
Returns could be as higher as 75% on Invested sum at the end of the year.
Assuming all 10 stocks recommendation out of 12 in a year hits their target price, an investor will gain almost 75% returns on invested capital with equal amount of investment.
As shown in illustration below, investment of 1000 Rs on monthly basis will yield total profit of 1500 Rs with invested capital of 2000 at the end of the year considering target price is achieved for 10 recommendations out of 12.
Limited Capital requirement
The capital invested will be free to invest again once investor books profits on previous investments. Hence, this will be a different way to increase wealth all together for long term investors.
Rupee Cost Averaging
During market corrections, instead of hitting target price recommended stock may fall in next 90 days. Team of Saral Gyan equity analysts may recommend the same stock four months down the line to bring down your average cost, this will help to achieve 15% @ 90 DAYS in next round of your investment for the same scrip.

how to calculate the tax on capital gains !
Monday, May 24, 2010
Stock Market Income : Tax treatment
As an investor, do you know the tax implications of gains/losses from Equity investment? Are you aware of the impact corporate actions (rights issue, bonus, split, dividend) have on you from a tax perspective? If not, it is essential you understand the same so that you're able to minimise tax incidence and increase return on investment.
Securities traded on the stock exchange are treated as a capital asset. Hence transacting in securities will lead to a capital gain or a capital loss. Suppose you purchased 200 shares of Axis bank at Rs. 740 on 10th May 2009, and sold it off at Rs. 820 on 15th March 2010. There was a gain of Rs. 80 per share, which is termed as 'capital gain'. Capital Gain/loss can be either short-term or long-term depending on the tenure for which the security is held.
Short-term Capital Gain/Loss
If securities are sold on the exchange within a period of one year of purchase, it is short-term in nature. Short-term capital gains are taxed at 15%. Short-term capital loss can be set off against short-term capital gain & long-term capital gains.
Long-term Capital Gain/Loss
Securities held for tenure greater than a year, are termed as long-term. Long-term capital gains are tax free. Long-term capital loss can be set off only against Long-term capital gain.
In the above case, since Axis bank is held for a period less than one year, the gain will taxed @ 15%. So capital gain tax would be 15% of 200*(820-740) which is Rs.2400. So income would be reduced to Rs. 13,600. However, if you had sold off your shares anytime after 10th May 2010, the gain would be Rs. 16,000.
If Long-term and short-term capital losses cannot be set off against the capital gain of that particular year then it can be carried forward for the next 8 consecutive years. Losses under the head "Capital Gains" cannot be set off against income under other heads of income whether salary, Business & profession, House Property, Income from other source.
Impact of corporate actions on taxable income
Dividend on shares: It is not taxable in the hands of the recipient, as the company declaring the dividend has already paid dividend distribution tax.
Bonus shares: These are free shares given to the shareholders depending on current holding of the share holder. If a bonus of 1:3 is announced, it means a shareholder will be given 1 share for every three shares held. For tax purposes, the ex bonus (at which the price is adjusted for corporate action on the stock exchange) date fixed by the company is considered to be the date of acquisition of the shares and the cost of acquisition is zero. So depending on when it is sold, it will be treated as short term or long term.
Rights issue: When additional shares are offered to existing shareholders at a price, it is termed a rights issue. The price at which the rights issue is done is treated as the cost of acquisition which is normally at a discount to the market price. The date of allotment of right shares is treated as the date of purchase at the rights issue price. Accordingly it will attract tax depending on the tenure for which it is held.
Stock splits: This refers to reduction in the denomination of the shares by reducing the face value of the share. That will result in a corresponding change in the market value. The date of buying the original shares is treated as the date of acquisition and the gains are taxed in the same proportion as the split. Suppose you have 100 share of XYZ Company at a face value of Rs. 10 purchased on 10th January, 2009 at a price of Rs. 500. On 10th March, 2010, the company reduced the face value of the share to Rs. 5. On 30th March, you sold off the shares at Rs. 305.
The impact is as follows:
Change in number of shares held: On account of the split, you will have 200 shares of XYZ Company and the purchase prices will now be Rs. 250 per share
Tax liability on gains: Although the split has been done on the 10th of March, 2010, the date of acquisition for you will continue to be 10th January, 2009. Since the period of holding is greater than one year, it is categorised as long term capital gain. So gain of Rs.11, 000 (Rs. 305-250), is tax free.
Tax Tips
Make sure you look at the holding period before sale of the security. You may want to wait for a few more days, to move from short term to long term tax treatment, if you're making profit on a transaction, so that you enjoy tax free earnings.
As long term capital loss cannot be set off against short term capital gain, you will be able to minimize your tax liability if you sell a security making huge losses for you within a period of one year.
In order to reduce your tax liability you may have sold stock before the month of March. You need to take note of the same, so that you could take position of the same stock after 1st April. This way you could save taxes, and also hold shares of the entity you sold, to book losses and hence offset gains. While calculating net gains, make sure you take the transaction cost of buying and selling into consideration.

best blogs of finance world-each one has its unique style
Investment in India. Here's a list of places you can go to:
Journey to wealth by Amit
An interesting take on investments, though not updated very regularly (I know, people with glass houses...). Amit writes refreshingly well on subjects close to my heart, like real estate, stock market investing and the like.
Person finance in India - the not so obvious stuff
Vivek Venugopalan talks about taxes, banking, stock market investments etc. His take on "How to get financiall organised" is a good refresher - heck, I need to do some of them things!
Investment Guru by Rajesh Soni
Largely about stocks and IPOs, Rajesh dwells on company information, general stock news, and IPO updates. An interesting take for value investors.
Value Stock Plus by "Toughiee"
A well maintained, constantly updated blog about investments, largely links to articles elsewhere. The author works quite hard at updating posts and consolidating sites you, as an investor, should visit.
Arpit Ranka
Arpit provides an analysis of the behaviour behind investing, and lets your mind wander as he talks about intuition, reasoning, prediction, luck and so on. Interesting reading, and a financial perspective keeps material in scope.
Value Investing by Rohit Chauhan.
A well written blog on the fundas of value investing. Professing to be a Buffet fan, and quoting Ben Graham, Paul Fisher and so on, Rohit writes lucidly about value investing in India. Yes, there are some long paragraphs that stem more from his inability to induce correct formatting by blogger than from a fear of line breaks. But the site's well worth your time, and will hopefully continue to be as good!
ULIPs and MFs by Raj Gopal Vuppala.
A more recent blog about investing in Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs) and Mutual Funds. I personally don't like ULIPs but Raj comes across with strategies to invest if you're still hooked to the idea. He asks that you avoid endowment plans (a financial trap) and evaluate charges before you buy; something every investor must drill into herself to do.
Rupee Manager by Umesh Ladha
Umesh writes about Personal Finance for the young reader - the early twenties, I would imagine. Some of the concepts in there like TWINVEST and the like are quite interesting...it's a fairly new site, but I think it'll evolve. That's it for now. Post me more links if you like some other blogs!
Top Indian Business Blogs :by times uk
Corporate blogging has arrived in India. A search with the keywords ‘India business’ on the Technorati blog finder throws up 447 matches, and Microsoft India recently named its first Blogstars after a competition to find the best developer bloggers in the country. Times Online offers its pick of the business blogs…
The Indian Economy Blog Run by a team of six bloggers – economists, entrepreneurs and journalists based in India and the US. Recent posts tackle the brain drain, Indian public transport, and workplace bullies.
Capitalist India Not for socialists, this one. Under the tag line ‘Free Minds and Free Markets in India’ Capitalist India takes issue with ‘Leftist predictions’ about the US economy, hails the arrival of Wal-Mart ‘creating jobs for the masses’, and, most recently, offers its solution for global warming: more prosperity. “Expressing concern for the environment and global warming is the new fashion of the day for global elite opinion, perhaps only second to disparaging US President, G W Bush,” it says.
India Inc. Part of the Digital Inspiration technology blog – which boasts and average of 1.2 million hits per month – India Inc. offers Indian business news and analysis across a broad range of sectors. Starbucks, Formula 1 and Tata all feature in recent posts.
South Asia Biz Currently keeping a close eye on the action at Lord’s (and Bollywood, and television talent contest Indian Idol), South Asia Biz follows also business news in India and across the region.
The Business of Bollywood More Bollywood than business – currently ruminating on whether or not Shilpa Shetty is a home-wrecker – but the Our Bollywood blog does track events in the film industry, including recent news that Disney was considering a $30 million investment in a production company that has apparently also drawn interest from Sony Pictures and News Corporation, parent company of Times Online.
India A blog dedicated to news from the car industry in India. Its author also exercises the right to reply – to Jeremy Clarkson after he took on the world on Times Online.
Internet in India A blogger’s attempt to offer “a more comprehensive business view” of the internet industry in India.
Trak.in’ the India “business buzz” from various industries. The blog has only been running since May this year, but its author is a keen advocate of the corporate blogosphere and offers ten reasons to set up a business blog.
India Business and Stock Business analysis from an accountancy student in Mumbai. His most recent post asks ‘Who’s afraid of Wal-Mart?’
Don’t trust the Indian media! An example of a blog with an agenda. Its author, a 28 year old print journalist from New Delhi, argues that the Indian media is “full of vested interests”, but despite his own declared interests, for example his irritation with “the way the Indian media takes the moral high ground”, his posts do offer a close look at events in the Indian media world.

How to send money online to India - what are your smart money transfer options!!
Article Update - Cash2India is now a part of the Xoom online money transfer network
One of the most common questions that pops up in any Indian’s mind, when he is abroad, is how can I send money to India - is an online money transfer service such as Xoom or Western Union the right solution for me?
And why not! The 20 million strong Indian diaspora spread across the globe is one the most prolific remitter community in the world – having sent around $18 billion to India from all over the world last year! There are various reasons why one might want to send money back home – perhaps for a cousin’s wedding, a family member’s birthday, an emergency or an illness. Whatever the motives, all non-resident Indians look for a simple, secure and economical method to send money to India. And few traditional methods meet these serious demands of NRIs.
So what are your money transfer options? And do they meet your requirements?
Wire transfers, Credit Cards, Bank Drafts and Checks – all these have been the customary ways to send money back home. But none has been secure or convenient enough to become a hit. While Wire Transfers are secure, they are not very fast when it comes to sending money to India.

5 reasons why you should hire a financial planner?
As a concept ‘financial planner’ has been in existence over several decades in the western world and in modern times, this role has turned into a well understood and highly regulated profession. In the developed markets Financial planners would be similar to the family GP (general practitioner or family doctor) advising their clients on money matters ranging from buying into real estate to making of wills and estate planning.
In India though the concept, as it is understood in the west, is yet to arrive; we always did plan our finances well. This was, however, done by a variety of means. For instance, we took advice of friends and family members before finalizing the property deal; we asked colleagues for a reference to persons who could provide us the financial product that we wanted to invest in. We also were chased by individuals who would specialise in selling a particular product (Common mistakes in Personal Finance). It could have been insurance, tax planning products, loans etc. In most events there was significant mis-match between what we wanted and what we got. The products would service most but not all requirements of the problem we had.
This has been changing over the past 5-7 years with the emergence of financial planners. These individuals/firms approach in dealing with client’s financial problems is more integrated than what most of the firms offer in India today. Financial planning firms in India now help you address whatever your financial need, just like their western counterparts. Below are 5 main reasons why should hire a financial planner:
Read : A short guide to Hire a Good Financial Planner in India
1. Service
This is the most fundamental part of any financial planner. Since when you hire a planner and he charges you fees, individuals can expect a very high level of personalised service from the firm/planner. This serves several purposes. It frees a significant amount of time that you invest in doing research for investment/ financial products. This in-turn helps you choose the right financial product/service.
2. Accountability
By far the most important reason to hire a planner. Over the past few years, there have been a plethora of financial products that got manufactured and a significant of those that got invested into were sold by individual/firms who were and are not held accountable for promise and performance. There has been a wide gap between these and it continues to be easy to get away after completing the transaction without any recourse to the agent/intermediary for non-performance. ‘Caveat-emptor’ or buyer beware is applied on majority of financial products. A financial planner and his engagement is a multi-year one and rest assured that chances are that more often than not you can demand an answer and check back on promise and performance of the financial product sold. In fact, the planner of today in India is the one that keeps clients updated on what has been the periodic performance of his/her investments.
3. Knowledge
There has been a sea change in the financial landscape in India over the past 10 years. Financial products that got manufactured in India have increased in complexity and oft border on the esoteric fringe. A planner endures that he is updated on the latest happenings around him and is expected to do two things – guard his client into signing on against anything which is not in his/her interest and select products which though not understood well but suit and serve the purpose and his financial goals. Both of these activities require a deep understanding of the markets and products per se. In addition, global certifications such as the CFPCM (Certified Financial Planner) provide the added comfort that the individual has done enough homework before he takes fiduciary responsibility of your funds.
4. Ethics
This is easy to understand and preach but difficult to find and practice. Here is where the difference can be stark and contrasted. Financial planners who have demonstrated business ethics and integrity will remain a standout. Because of the esoteric nature of quality involved in testing the planner whether he is ethical or not, the test can be done by simply asking questions such as – What process does he follow in taking and dealing in funds? What is the quality of people he employs at this firm? How long has he been in the business? How has he grown the business? – references, ads etc. Answers to questions such as these will provide you with a fair degree of things such as Ethics, honesty et el.
5. Goal orientation
Not the least of them and equally important is the ability of the current planner to being goal oriented and inculcating a habit of financial discipline into the client’s psyche. The benefits of this get blurred in the overall scheme of things due to the nature of the long length towards the realisation of them. Things like children’s education, marriage or spending for one’s 25th marriage anniversary are events stretched far out in the future and hence not planned for. The planner’s ability to set aside or build funds for these events and the benefit of those would dawn upon when the events arrive over the short horizon.

GFactor , A decision making tool for Financial products
What is GFactor ?
GFactor is a very simple rating system for Financial products which gives a score on a scale of 0-1 . 1 represents excellent , 0 means worse . There are mainly 4 factors which we consider when we design this GFactor .- Trap Factor (Liquidity)
- RR Factor (Risk/return Factor)
- Complexity Factor
- Need Factor
Trap Factor
Trap Factor is nothing but its score for the product on scale of 0 – 1 for the lock in period. The more trapped you have to be in product , the more will be the Trap factor score. One important point you should note here is that you should also consider how much loss you have to take even after you can freely come out of the product . For example : Endowment policies trap you for long periods like 15 to 20 yrs . Even though there is an option to close the policies you loose a lot of money. So the trap factor of Endowment Policies will be very less like 0.1 , where as Mutual funds (non tax saving funds do not have any type of locking period) . So they can have trap factor of 0.9 or 1.0 . In ULIP you are stuck for at least 3-5 yrs , only after the 5th year. So it can have a trap factor of 0.6 or 0.7 you can get out without any penalties . For term insurance there is no trap factor , you can stop the policy any time .Years of Trap | Trap Factor |
No Trap | 0 |
1-3 yrs | 0.2 |
4-10 yrs | 0.5 |
10-15 yrs | 0.75 |
15+ yrs | 1.0 |
Risk/Return Factor
Risk/Return Factor is a factor which will evaluate a single digit score for its risk/return potential . This score takes into consideration both risk and return . You can look it as risk adjusted return potential . so this factor will determine the return potential considering the risk potential. To calculate this you should know average return and average risk figures of a product in its total duration . Lets see the calculation first .Example for Mutual Funds (5 yrs)
- Average Return = 100%
- Average Risk = 30%
Example for Fixed Deposits (2 yrs)
In this case suppose the returns from FD are @8% .
- Average Return = 16%
- Average Risk = 0%
Note : For term insurance , the return will be the max amount you can get and Risk would be amount you can loose all , which is total premium over many years.
Complexity Factor
Complexity score is a number you assign to the product, depending on the how complex of easy it looks to you . For example Mutual funds can be easy to understand for me , so I can put 0.1% for it a complexity, whereas NPS is more complicated to me , so I will put 0.5 . This means If it looks too complicated for you, then give a higher score, whereas if you understand it well, assign lower score .For a normal person I would say ULIP is complicated , so we gave give a score of .7 or .8 or 1 ,depends on you, where as term insurance is extremely easy to understand, so it will get 0 or .1 , Mutual funds would be .2 or .3
Need Factor
Its a score given on the fact that how badly you need or require the product and will it be the best thing for you. One person may need it more than other, so the score will be different for different people. If you are not in a hurry, but your relative suggests you a policy , then it does not become a very high priority product for you, because you do not require it at that time, so you will assign a lower score to it . For a person who is in his 26-27 age and just married and has some financial dependents , His score for term insurance will be around .9 or 1 because he badly needs it . Make sure you know difference between your needs and wantsA person who is 45 , for him/her NeedFactor for Health Insurance would be .8 or .9
A person who is Extremely High risk taker and understands equity investing well , his need factor for NSC or FD would be low , say a score of .2 or .3 because he really does not need it and it does not suit his requirement also .
Now Lets construct the formula
Variables areRRF : Risk Return Factor
CF = Complexity Factor
NF = Need Factor
Products | Trap Factor | Return/Risk Factor | Complexity Factor | Need Factor | GFactor |
Term Insurance | 0 | 0.95 | 0 | 1 | 0.95 |
Health Insurance | 0 | 0.85 | 0.3 | 0.8 | 0.68 |
ELSS | .25 | 0.5 | 0.1 | 1 | 0.48 |
ULIP | .25 | 0.5 | 0.4 | 0.4 | 0.1 |
Tax Saving FD | .5 | 1 | 0 | 0.1 | 0.1 |
Endowment Policy | 1 | 1 | 0.5 | 0 | -0.5 |
Rules
- If GFactor value is more than .7 , you can consider that product as “Must buy. Go for it” .
- If its more than .4 , you can consider it as “Average”
- If its more than .2 , you can consider it as “Look for alternative product. Buy only if nothing else is available”
- And if its less than .2 , then you must avoid it .
