Well, TED is over a year old now. So, I thought let's see what it is worth till now.
Please vote only if you are invested with real money in the market. You could be managing someone else's money and that is quite allright, as long as the portfolio involves real money.
So, what is the intention of this poll?
Simple: To get to know who exactly is accessing TED. Call it quality assessment or whatever you choose. I like to call it the TED networth.
And yes, no one needs to fear about anything as this poll is 100% anonymous and not even me or even Basant sir would know who voted what?
So, go on....VOTE NOW! Everyone needs to vote. I shall keep pesking TEDdies till they vote I promise as there is no reason NOT TO VOTE. I repeat, it is 100% anonymous.

(The ACTLO TEDdy)
THIS IS A POLL OF ONLY THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY ACTIVE IN REALLY READING AND/OR POSTING MESSAGES ON TED, ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS. I have PMmed only these TEDdies. SO, THE SURVEY IS NOT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT LIKE OTHER PORTALS TARGETING DAILY VISITORS, BUT FOCUSES ENIRELY ON SERIOUS TEDDIANS OR WHOM WE LIKE TO CALL THE ACTIVE & LOYAL TEDdians.
Thus the acronym ACTLO, reserved for a special class of TEDdians. The ACTLO TEDdies are not only helping all other TEDdies in their invesment processes but are most certainly using TED itself in a big way for their PORTFOLIO investment decision-making process!

India(San) jee, I personally am expecting(and hope actually) of not more than 100-150 votes, as those are the hard-core TED loyalists.
Out of these, a bit more than 60 are the ones who move the rhythms of TED.
The other TEDdies I am 100% aware benefit a lot from the discussions that these 100-150 TEDdies have.
Out of these 100-150, a bit above 60(as of now) are the movers and shakers who will do things at the drop of a hat for TED. The rest out of the 100-150 need to be pushed a bit, but they are TED loyalists nonetheless.
It will taKe usually a few months for the 100-150 brothers to vote in and I am a patient pest...jaldi kya hain hee hee ------------- The most important quality for an investor is temperament,not intellect.A temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd nor against it |

There is no 'Mere Paas Maaa Hain' or 'Mein Dil Se Ameer Hoon' option?
Om, there is no real difference between 20 - 40 lakh and a 40 to 60 lakh portfolio. A couple of good or bad months will result in a portfolio entering into either of those two options.
To get a better picture, there should've been only 4 or 5 options to choose from - and the value of the portfolio adequately spaced out.

Posted By: omshivaya
Date Posted: 11/Nov/2007 at 11:28am
Well, that option is already there. There are 2 invisible options for that. And in that case, that person need not select any of the choices given.
For a person who has a 40 lakh portfolio(as an example), every lakh counts.
That's okay. We are taking a 1 year view of this whole thing.
For a person who has a 40 lakh portfolio, every lakh counts. For a person who has a portfolio in crores, every crore counts. I actually tried to limit the options else would have had more options for segregating the "crore" segments. Again, it is to get an idea of the average *ACTLO TEDdy. Thanks for your suggestions though. Next time around, the ACTLO TEDdies can brainstorm this thing and decide on the options and we can then implement it.

This HNI catagory is a big misnomer.I am from Bihar and in Bihar the Credit offtake from banks is very low to the tune of 22%. But on interaction with the CA and bank managers it will seem that most Rural /semi rural (all except Patna may be categorised so) are in losses not because of the NPA but due to the huge deposits with these branches. Insurance companies are having a feild day here. I think the HNI category in the cities are finanvialy savy so as to maximise their returns not so here . There is another Thread on the purchase of shares on loan. This is a fantastic tool used to maximise returns alowing aperson to be fully invested and yet take the benifits of a dip in the markets.
In cities like Mumbai all items are leveraged i.e Flat,shares,FD etc. While the Farmers are yet to become financialy savy.

You always start with a few on day 1 but keep adding it as you make cash from other occupations. For me my coaching center was agreat help since I used to teach over 100 people at that time!But broadly it has been a favourable journey because of the raging bull market.
So when i calculate my return I always take into consideration the net additional amount that I put in and adjust it for that. Since the total initial amount is small additional percentage increses in portfolio makes a bagger now. ------------- 'The Thoughtful Investor: A Journey to Financial Freedom Through Stock Market Investing' - A Book on Equity Investing especially for Indian Investors.

Arre no sir
This is for every TEDdy. God has given man imagination. So, everyone feel free to use it and you may be surprised at the things one caN do with all this info.For example, if TEDdy X goes to a bank and his/her worth is around 1 crore rupees, he gets a particular level of service/certain discounts/bargains etc. etc.
Why? Because he/she is giving 1 crore worth of business.
Now, imagine if same TEDDY X goes to the bank next day and gives the bank access to 50 crore or 100 crore worth of business.
The level of bargains, special services, discounts, wealth management solutions and who knows what else, TEDdy X is likely to get one can just imAgIne. Plus, the level of service quality for each TEDdy would be excellent as the TEDdy won't be left alone tobe harassed...he would be backed up by a force of 60-100 unified customers.
So, though individually we are worth an amount XYZ...collectively(the 60 ACTLOs) we are worth many multiples of that.
Whether 1 person opens a single 100 crore account or a group of 100 people create 100 accounts in total worth 100 crores, the end result for the bank is that they are getting 100 crores worth of business. And that's TED's bargaining power.
How TED wishes to utilize the power of its ACTLOs is totally upto ???
Well, that was one random imagination at work! Other TEDdies may utilize theirs when they hAVe tiME. Some ideas take time to sink in...that is why I have created this thread for future references.
PLUS, irrespective of all this...TED would knOW its networth now and would thUS know the amount of money riding on its recommendations. This information can be used for many miscellaneous purposes & I'll leave it to the masters' imagination. ------------- The most important quality for an investor is temperament,not intellect.A temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd nor against it |

om ji according to this poll TED is anywhere between 45 crores (min..acc to lower specs of each level) to 180 crores(max..its my guess)...
can we form a limited partnership firm as Buffet did? buffet would have never become rich had he invested his own money....
rules are framed to control a group of people (less than 50 in number)...like there is a lock in...one person is executive director and he represents the group...etc etc....what limited partnership offers is a power to buy a controlling stake in a good company...
shared something which came to my mind.... ------------- If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm. |

Keep them coming everyone. Who knows what may click with the master. Personally I think, we should start with baby steps, phook phook ke. So, instead of one central pool of caSh, each inDividuAL has his own pool and collectively the group can bargain from various companies like banks, depending on what the common choice of the group is. OnE thing I am convinced of is that every one of the 60 ACTLOs should say an unanimous "YES" to whatever is targeted(banks etc.). Even if one ACTLO says "NO", then he should either be convinced by others to choose "YES" OR the idea should be dumped altogether.

Well India jee, we have had some talks in the previous few pages. The end-analysis is the resuts above itself. The idea was to get the networth of TED, and see how it can be leveraged in the future. Suggestios have been given by some in a few pages back. ------------- The most important quality for an investor is temperament,not intellect.A temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd nor against it |

| Looking at the results so far, I think the range should have been a bit more "people friendly" :) I mean something like, upto 5 lacs, 5-10, 10-25, 25-50, above 50...etc. This would have given out bit more details about the "middle-class investors" who are definitely in the first option range. |

Om babu
If due to correction, portfolio net-worth falls back into lower bracket is there a facility to amend the vote?

Nopes, no chances of amendments Kulman sir. That is why, the TED Networth is on a "year-to-year" basis. SORRY!  ------------- The most important quality for an investor is temperament,not intellect.A temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd nor against it |

Prashant jee, why in the world would Basant jee EVER sell out and/or leave us LOL??!! And India_Bull jee, maybe that principLe applies here too(I dunno!!!). Perhaps, Basant sir may be able to provide more insight on that principle in regard to this survey.
The idea of having this poll was to know the NETWorth.
