[05:40:38 PM] => Jajoo: All Your
ELSS schemes are in the negative since inception - even your
one year returns are in the negative or just slightly positive.
Don't you think that as a taxpayer I would have been better
off paying my taxes and keeping it in an FD or debt mutual
fund then investing with you?
[05:41:11 PM] => UR
: In one or two ELSS Schemes there are historical problem
of schemes being launched when the market was at its peak.

Scheme. In case of assurance which is permitted only for the

is the reason that investors prefer private sector mutual
fund as compared to public sector mutual fund? Is it because
of poor marketing?
[05:50:25 PM] => UR

sectors can not be ignored. It is a cyclic pattern. Trend
may get reversed also.
[05:51:54 PM] => MAHARAJ79: By
your answer on US 64 quote "matter is being sorted out". You

like yourself goes BUST you need the government should BAIL
you guys out- the Honest taxpayers money is used to Bail you
MF managers wrong doings?
[05:52:13 PM] => UR
: I said Sorted Out not Bail out.
[05:52:38 PM] => Vijayan: AS per
