    Shame on all of us. We are allowing the fund houses to dupe people by direct investment because investors are clueless and do not have any idea where to put money, in which scheme to put money, why to put money, for how long it is to be kept and how often reviews are to be done and how to do reviews. Direct investment is a sham.
