��n any long term investment, it is not the absolute amount of money that you make but the percentage that is important. Adjust your corpus amount for inflation and make sure that whatever investment that you do gives you a return much better than inflation,��he said.
Below is the verbatim transcript of the interview
Q: We understand that investors often don�� calculate returns on the real value of money. How is the percentage return different from the absolute return and how can investors calculate it?
A: We can just use an example. Suppose Rs 3 lakh is invested today turns into Rs 90 lakh in 30 years. On the face of it, most investors would calculate that you made Rs 87 lakhs on an investment of Rs 3 lakh, and that is an excellent investment. The key point is to calculate the percentage return. Compare it with inflation or with any other form of investment, we will realize that the return is only 12%. In any long term investment, it is not the absolute amount of money that you make but the percentage that is important.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Gary Gordon]
On behalf of most of my clients in 2013, I chose to overweight tech and health care. However, I did so with areas that are traditionally less volatile. I continue to own Powershares Pharmaceuticals (PJP) and/or SPDR Select Healthcare (XLV). I’ve been a proponent of “old tech” with the attractive prices and dividends; First Trust NASDAQ Tech Dividend (TDIV) fits the bill. Additionally, I have remained faithful to iShares Small Cap Value (IJS) for small-cap exposure, rather than hop on the IWO express.
