Good Coverage
The New Year issue was indeed special as it covered the future of Indian markets through the eyes of the master , Rakesh ji . I have been of the belief that the Indian markets have been overvalued due to the optimism prevailing in the market for several reasons . Rakesh ji ’ s mantra for investing and trading should be understood thoroughly by every individual looking to invest or trade , as more often than not , individuals tend to take calls based on emotion ( greed / fear ) than taking an informed decision .
The Bitcoin mention on the top of the cover caught my eye but I was disappointed , as the required level of information on whether one should take the plunge or let it go was missing . While you have covered the pros and cons , I only hope individuals do not take a large bet in optimism to make huge returns that it has promised in the short run .
On the stock bets for 2018 , like in the past , it has covered good stocks . But should not the investment into equities be for the long-term ? Your readers come from a different mix — a newbie to investment to someone who has understood the principles of investing over a period of time . One is spoilt for choices and individuals tend to take a position reading the article but then later forget about it . It would help if you call out how one should approach investing in stocks and what they should do after a year or alter their decision midway , depending on the stock specific impact or macro economic factors . Thank you for all the coverage and your team has been doing a great job !

Kindly do not publish articles on numerology , palmistry and astrology in a finance magazine . There are plenty of other magazines to cater to these needs . I do not understand how the article on Swara Bhaskar is going to help anybody . On the other hand , allot more pages to insurance , loans etc , as they are more useful .

The New Year issue was meant to be fun and so we decided to have a section on Numerology . It is not going to be a regular feature . Our celebrity section is meant to illustrate key money mistakes through personal stories . Celebrities wield influence and , we believe , they can convey money lessons effectively

I was absolutely thrilled after receiving the first edition of your magazine . Many congratulations to your team for the wonderful insights . RJ interview was indeed the highlight , but what caught my eye was your comprehensive coverage of direct equity investment , MF and insurance . Best wishes for 2018 . You have made an impactful and a brilliant start with your first issue of the New Year .
