Hi guys. I have some 20M cash at bank which I need to invest. Bank can only give you 10% p/a maximum. Anyone with a good idea where I can invest to double the funds within a year with minimal or no risk. eg. any good NSE share with possibility of doubling, apex bodies, private equity etc. Kindly share



Best advice is to continue doing whatever it is that you did to get that 20M

Dow Jones at 21,000...What will break the bubble? Feds?

A correction looms before higher highs. As long as euroland is weak the usd and us stocks will continue facing buy pressure.

It is their time to eat. Meanwhile Trump's address to Congress included a statement that he will represent a $1T infrastructure bill.

This is probably the most cautious/timid bull I have ever seen and it has been that way for 7/8 years. With limited retail participation and fund managers preferring to sit on cash rather than go all in, the pool of marginal buyers has been very small.

Without a maniacal phase where a majority of investors think they can make a quick buck, this bull is set to continue. What will trigger the parabolic phase? That's the question for now. A mad rally is needed to rope in as many buyers as possible then it peters out and finally pops to trap the majority.


The uptick in the march rate hike probability (now at 66%) has me very cautious. Dont think this has been priced in as yet. Bond yields have been very stable/flat over the last month as US stocks soar...Sad Sad Sad yet again after the near zero rates over the last 7 years i might just be overthinking it...

Any rate hike at this point is bound to pull the plug on Europe not US stocks. In fact, a hike would add gloss to the already attractive dollar assets(treasuries, stocks and the currency itself).

Capital doesn't have many places to park...yield chasing/EM/FM assets is a no go zone, most of Europe is under NIRP plus not many solid hedging options exist to wait it out.

Maybe piling into the bunds expecting a repricing in marks may pay out under the working theory that marks>euro>any other currency of a eurozone member. But even that is hopeful investing since it assumes that the euro zone weaklings won't default on their obligations in the euro arrangement and by extension Germany.

I don't think any bond play at this moment in time is a smart move. That leaves US assets firmly in the driving seat against any competition. Besides, investors must get that last hurrah/wild ride before the music stops.

What if they choose (feds) not to hike the rate? Europe is in trouble with elections and Brexit complications, capital is fleeing.

Europe is toast either way, the only difference is that a hike quickens the euro/EU's demise by further underlining what is investment grade and what is junk.
