Commissions

Commissions: Commissions have become much smaller in the past two decades.Twenty years ago, there were still brokers who charged one-way commissions of between half a percent and one percent of trade value. Buying a thousand shares of GE at $20 a share, with a total value of $20,000, would have set you back $100 to $200 on the way in—and again on the way out. Fortunately for traders, commission rates have plummeted. The extortionate rates haven’t completely disappeared. While preparing this book for publication, I received an e-mail from a client in Greece with a small ac- count whose broker—a major European bank—charged him a $40 minimum on any trade.

SIPs - A habit to inculcate

The one conscious habit that everyone needs to adopt is the habit of SIPs. Saving something every month and investing it systematically in mutual funds is a habit that most of us should inculcate. It's not that hard and the long-term benefits are fabulous. Cultivating the SIP habit frees you from having to decide when and how much to invest. SIPs are in this sense the best way to invest in equity funds. Systematic investments average out the cost of your unit purchases, they don't put you at the risk of catching a market peak, and they earn you the benefit of compounding. And probably the most important benefit, from a non-technical perspective, is that SIPs force you to save and invest that definite amount periodically. Money saved is money earned, we know that. And in the case of SIPs, money invested is money that works to earn more money for you. Now, isn't that a habit you could get used to?
