It looks as if serious business press in India has moved some way from beginning of the year predictions on which asset class will outperform and which one was a good ‘bet’; to a more mature way of reporting, analysing and commenting on personal finance issues. We rarely see big headlines proclaiming the beginning of a bull year or predicting that gold will outperform everything else or real estate is the new unicorn.
This is good. At Mint, our editorial line has frowned upon the use of words such as ‘good bet’ or ‘what stock to buy tips’, when we talk about your money and investments. We believe that sensible advice stays away from thinking about your money as something that can be gambled away.
