Note: Many of the small investors (whose portfolio size is below Rs.1 lakh) have sent me mails, asking for DISCOUNTS on my Premium Information Service (Current Price Tag: Rs.18000 per year), if they are eligible. Yes, you are eligible, as this blog is and my new scheme is dedicated to SMALL INVESTORS only, so that I can assist you with my few decade of experience. 
It is not that, I am always infallible or is always right regarding my takes on the market, but then few decades of experience in stock market counts and hence I perhaps make less mistakes than the new comers or novices. 
Moreover, I feel investing/trading in stock market is a serious business and it hence there is no place of "Chalta Hai" (Casual) attitude here or it CANNOT be a PART-TIME thing to get good returns. You have to devote your time and energy to get scintillating returns or else one bad decision can rob off all your efforts.....if you do not have too much time or you are short of source based information (this is a must as it is  very difficult to make money without getting to know before hand what is going inside the company through your sources in Industry) then you need to take the services of professionals in this field/space.
Also, if you are trading through my associated brokerage house: BMA Wealth Creators Ltd, with a portfolio size of more than Rs.2 lakhs, then you would get my assistance along with the tips from the brokerage house free of charge.
Anyway, please give me some time to reply to your individual mails, because of the sheer number of such mails hitting my desk during the last few days. But don't worry you would get my reply at the earliest. If you do not receive my reply within two days, then kindly re-sent your request at: suman2005s@rediffmail.com or sumanm2007s@gmail.com (send in this e-mail address if and only if you do not get reply within a couple of days through suman2005s@rediffmail.com).
