A Virtual Property
The last property is Sensex, which can be owned from anywhere in the world. A sq.feet is a metaphor for one unit. If dividend yield is also included (assuming 2% CAGR), Sensex would have delivered 20% annualized returns over last 34 years, higher than the most expensive prime properties in the country.

Returns far superior to Sensex
Many
mutual funds and stocks have delivered returns far superior to Sensex.
Power of equity is least understood in this country.
You have to just withstand notional loss (Don’t book the loss. That is ,do not sell at rates lower than the cost price) in portfolio during bear markets, not to worry about daily price movements, you can make much better money than what can be made out of the best of real estate deals.
Give at least the same importance to equity as you give to real estate.
You don’t mind holding real estate for 20 or 30 years. Do the same for equity ignoring bull and bear markets, notional profits and losses.
Many of you must have been investing for last a couple of years. Keep the course for at least another 15 to 20 years , ignoring market fluctuations. You would be amazed at the fortune created for your retirement or to pass on to your children.
