These days I am skipping all articles that express any views on whether RBI will hike the key rates further or not and the level that the stock market will achieve in coming 12 months. I am tired of being told that equity investment is for the long run. Then there are the perennial discussions on the world economy (which somehow almost always seems to be in the doldrums) and its effects (and after-effects!) on the Indian markets. Some people are advising investors to go for Gold ETFs while others are proclaiming the virtues of Gold FoFs. Then there is the timeless debate on how much Debt is good for one's portfolio.

God! The path of investing for one's future is lined with more potholes than Mumbai's roads. :-(
