money will decrease day by day means the way of living cost will become costlier compare to past .so our
investment also should give returns to compete with inflation.

Investing
in equities means you are the shareholder of the company and you are ready to
take profits in that company. You can invest through our Indian stock exchanges
like NSE and BSE etc.
This

The overall investment
opportunities we have in market .and we can see the returns and risk profile
also.
Fixed instruments are giving
fixed returns with limited risk and in equities you can able to extend your
returns up to 15 to 20%.
Real estate will giving better returns but it’s
more risky and you should have more capital to investing. Commodities (bullion's)
will give average return equal to fixed income returns. I think most trending
investment is Equities in terms of return and risk.
