you can buy RPL, Reliance capital, reliance industries, L&T, TATA motors or Tisco..buy some quantity of all the shares and wait for 5 years..u will get amazing returns..do not just invest your money in some penny stock or small or midcap..they can crash immensly with any market crash as you might have seen that all traders favourite midcap small caps have fallen 50-70% in recent market crash...so if it is mandatory for u to invest 10lac in market ...invest only in large caps as mentioned above..atleast if they crash with market metl you have a gaurantee that it will shoot up at some point of time...happy investment

mr suhas

ur inference is incorrect. last yr the stock
market achieved a growth of around 48 percent
whereas some high-flying funds like reliance
came out with outstanding returns of more than 70 percent.

while investing in mutual funds u have the
benefit of the services of a professional
well-versed in the stock market nuanses.

please do not plunge into the market direct.
u r likely to lose. start with
mutual funds that too through systematic
investment plans of say 10 top funds
and earn sufficient experience for atleast
one year. then u can enter with confidence.

should u require any specific guidance
please write, at ur option, to me

First of all thinking to invest for short term is absurd. Think of long term and if you cant wait then dont invest all. Just invest 5 lakhs. Some stocks that i think will do well in long run 3-5 years are:

1) Nelco
2) Transport Corporation of India

Okay, heres the drill, invest 50% of your money in good stock, and 50% of your money in FDs. By good, i mean fundamentally strong stock, not speculative stock. A return of 30% per annum is good enough. Don't invest now, invest after the US elections. The reason for investing 50% in FD is simple. In the event of a market crash you still have money to buy stock at rock bottom prices. Dont get greedy and you will be okay. All the best!
