FD is a better option

Currently most banks give 12.5-14% interest on fixed deposits in short term 3 months deposits. I think without any risk you can gain a considerable profit.
Is that better than investing in share market?

Yes and No.
In three months you will get back 3-3.5% as a interest.
Market like this (side way trending), in a trade you can earn more than that.
I know there are my friends playing with small cap shares and earning around 10% minimum profit per month.(some times more)

I mean FD of more than 5M. Risking in market that amount is not worth at the moment.

Yes I do agree with you. There are many people reportedly mention about swing tradings but in the current market its only valid if only your investment is worth less than a million. ( I guess). There aren’t many counters trading with high volumes.

As you said if you have say 5 million I think its pretty hard to make money out of that. You will be able to use 10-20%. Sometimes you tend to feel that your effort is worthless consider the gain you get out of that.

So overall tradings ( not investing) is a bit difficult for medium to large scale retailers. So I would say FD is better.

Ex: I was collecting LGL last few days but I couldnt collect enough (without moving the price up).

Can you please tell us which bank pay 14% per annum for 3 months?

panasia bank>>may be

Vallibel finance pay 16.25% for 3 month fixed deposit.. LB finance 16%, ETI 16% etc..all are for accounts with senior citizen though..

In the longer term equity will give a better return. You will get short term returns also. But you should be sensible trader and a good investor.

Best example for Jan. 2012 - Apr. 2012

JKH moved from Rs. 170/- to 210/-

Return for three months = 23.5%

I remember brokers at that Prahilaba program also showing examples like these. But those are all historical data. But what you have to understand is JKH didn't change in those time, it wasn't like they found a gem mine or their profits grew massively or something. Can you look at their company profits and determine this will go up? It was the same old lethargic conglomerate. Why not compare with other companies. What would you say to somebody who bought some other company and saw their capital lost. Some got lucky. Some were illiquid.
JKH goes down when a major party wants to exit and vise versa. You think something happened in the company fundamentals for price increase like that. It increased because it decreased. It's like Shanida Wasana.

friend......its true
if u need to earn u have to take risk.
there are lots of good share which you will sure make more than 15 - 20 %
within few months.
if you dont have heart attack you can take a risk......
the market will shoot up soon....... Then immediately sell without greed.
Earn more % than LB Finance,Pan Asia bank etc which is going to be a future SAKVITHI .

U DECIDE UR PROFIT UR LOSS

1. JKH goes down when major party wants to exit. - Buyers want to bargain and buy, so it comes down. That's the moment of opportunity.
2. It increased because it decreased. - Yes. Once you understand this investing is easy.

3. But with regards to JKH and its operations I am totally disagree with your opinion. Its financials gives strong signals of profit growth. If you say its financials not giving signals, you haven’t look into JKH financials. Without hesitation I can say they will give Q by Q profit growth from Sep. 2011 onwards.

4. It was a lethargic conglomerate, but no more. The projects they are going to launch in 2012 and 2013 are the biggest private sector investments Sri lance.

OK cool
I don't want to waste my time with you also fact.

kumar, according to aj not a single counter in cse performing well. I cant undertand why he does waste his time here if he is not interested in shares. When the price fall he says it will be falling further and when the price up he says 'prices are increasing coz price was fallen before. What a silly point he raise.
