I just wanted to gauge how people have done on their investments on a whole (cumulative) Year on Year. So for ex you had 1 Lakh to start with and put 50K in FDs @10% and the rest in Equities where you gained 30% YOY, so you average return YOY would be around 20% YOY (weighted mean of investments in FD and equity). You could add real estate as an investment option, futures/options trading, commodities what ever you like, but then provide a realistic estimate of what your returns were like YOY!! Just an experiment to see how our knowledge of the markets, actually reflects in our results!!

Removed multiple votes as per Basant's comment. I thought the people on Equity Desk would be more honest than the politicians!!!

Thank you Basant for your comment and have changed it. But I'm surprised i've got 3 votes of 50% and more, because if you repeat that performance for 40 years you would be much richer than Warren Buffet and i doubt 3 people out of 4 on Equity Desk would do so well :)) I'm looking for realistic votes, and i've cast 5-10%!!

And if you see since my returns are 5-10%, ie the same as FDs at 8% or so, i might have lost more money in equities than actually made any gains. So it makes sense to diversify only when you are 100% positive on equities doing better else stick with FDs.

Voted. I have  no investment ( deposit) in FD and realestate so I cannot compare with them. .
