This content discusses the idea that investing in the Indian stock market, specifically through SIP (Systematic Investment Plan), may not lead to significant wealth accumulation if the goal is to beat inflation. The argument is based on comparing the price increase of toor dal (a type of lentil) to the returns of the Sensex (a stock market index) over the past 20 years. Many commenters disagree with the premise, arguing that the comparison is oversimplified and does not account for factors like taxes, dividends, and the overall inflation rate.
Some commenters suggest that the key to wealth accumulation is not only investing in the stock market but also increasing one’s income over time. They argue that the Indian economy has grown significantly over the past 20 years, and those who have increased their income have been able to build wealth, even after accounting for inflation. Others point out that the Indian stock market is not a scam, but that it requires a long-term investment strategy and a willingness to take calculated risks.
