Few thoughts:

1. You easily compare indexes on Google finance, but largely what you’ll see is something like nifty50, bse tracks very closely to spy for 5 years. Historically emerging market returns crushed developed returns, and you’ll see that in long run BSE, but the last 5 years and change SPY has been phenomenal, and given stimulus probably not going anywhere. USD/INR tends trend a single way over time and that marginally pads returns. Throw in the conversion and general taxation pains in India, equity investing in India IMO has lost its glam.

2. On other assets, the fact is the data in India is bullshit. RE is full of anecdotal events, market is highly illiquid and has a lot of structural issues. Yes their are pockets of high returns, but they are not as rampant and obvious. RE is also very regional, so you’ll get a lot of variation in opinions.

3. Other financial instruments of investment, generally between USD rates you kinda flatten out any structured investment gains in my experience.

4. Gold etc, transaction costs suck

I kept investing in India for a long time, but the US market had a better run for the last decade or so. If you plan to stay in US then investing here will make more sense. The forex charges (twice, if you try to bring it back) and tax take away a big portion of the pie. Investing through NRE can be an option but with higher tax implications and significantly lesser investment opportunities.

Hey beautiful people,

I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

Am I out of touch? Or is it still important?
