Staying Ensconced in a turbulent economy

 The economy is presently encountering a bit of a turbulence . Since fuel prices have skyrocketed due to the Ukrainian crisis , a shortage of fuel is leading to inflation . My reading is that excess money supply in the economy is not leading to this , as there is a school of thought which believes that drop in interest rates during COVID led to this , which was primarily meant to kick start the economy .

 

Since mass sentiments have changed rapidly to hike in interest rates by 40 bps , many folks are moving money out of the stock market and into fixed interest instruments . This is leading to drop in the prices of many bluechip companies , which is helping these to be available now at very affordable rates. This may be a good opportunity to invest in these great companies available now at very attractive valuations.

 

You can invest in large cap funds like Franklin or SBI Blue Chip or their equivalent or buy straight into equities like Hindustan Unilever , Nestle , HDFC Bank , ICICI Bank which are available now at attractive valuations. Even the IT Sector is trading low now due to apprehensions about its performance and stocks like TCS and Infosys look attractive now . Buy systematically in small lots as markets can take further correction .

 

On the debt front , yields have improved sharply and a lot of pullout will happen and will move into new debt instruments with higher interest rates. You can systematically begin a SIP of your debt instruments towards equities , as you will get a lot more units of equity funds at attractive rates. Staying invested in gold as a safe haven is always there and 10% of your portfolio must be invested in it .

 

Overall I would like you to stay positive and mentally stable , navigate well through the turbulence and in a few years time you should witness opulence. My sincerest prayers for each one of y

Spirits of Estonia

  http://www.inyourpocket.com/estonia/tallinn/Spirits-of-Estonia_56060f 1 For some of our readers, vodka might just be some colorless liquid that tastes like rubbing alcohol but goes great mixed in a cocktail. In Estonia however, hard liquor is pretty serious stuff.  Spirits can be made from many raw materials including grapes, potato, and grain. These days in Estonia the vast majority of vodka is made using high quality rye grain. First the raw material is fermented using yeast, which creates a weak alcohol or mash. Next this product is distilled creating a much stronger alcohol. Finally the impurities are filtered off, and water is added to bring the percentage from about 96 to about 40.And that is how you make vodka! Of course there is much to be said about quality and it certainly varies from brand to brand. The world’s best vodkas are made from the finest grains, the purest waters, multiple distillation & special filtration techniques.    A little history   Alcohol wa
