Bank Shares Vs Bank FDs

Banks are giving your money at higher interest to others as loan. To elaborate, when you put Fd in any of the bank, they lend some of your money to certain retail or corporate. For example you are doing an fd at 8%, bank pays you fix rate of 8% and against that they lend the same money in housing loan / personal loan/ car loan / mortgages etc.,


The interest rates are approx 9% to 22%, depending upon the nature of loan.

So if you calculate, banks are paying 8% on fd and lending the money at 12-15%. The spread after expenses or after taxes will add to the balance sheet profit  for the bank and the same reflects in the bank share prices sooner or later. I know it is not at all fixed, but the example is here with us, HDFC Bank has grown 30% quarter on quarter since many years, now also its growth is approx 25% qoq,

This simply says that banks are making money on your money?

Don't you think ? Its advisable to invest in Bank Stocks rather than putting an FD in the same Bank ?

Spending Money ? Stop Spending too much

Spending Money (Everyone’s Favorite Activity)   STOP SPENDING MONEY –  We will here talk about spending money….Spending that too when we don’t have to….we are talking about the psychology of managing money/cash, and the amount of cash spending started by India’s youth now a days. We actually don’t realize that spending cash i.e. purchasing products or services are purchased under different reasons, most of the time whatever things/products or services we buy….its just because of our feeling (a feel good factor within us). This type of feeling & satisfaction on spending, leads to short fall of CASH.
