Irresponsible Financial Advice


I was shocked to see this 3 Dividends a day articles on Economic Times . I would consider this to be irresponsible financial journalism on part of a high calibre financial newspaper like Economic Times .

This article tries to portray as a hero, a senior citizen who has invested in more than a thousand different Mutual Funds scheme and has chosen Dividend Payout option for all those schemes and hence receives 3 dividends a day each month

The point is , in their exuberance to fill pages , the news paper did not deemed it necessary to explain to its readers that a MF dividends is a farce that MFs try to pull on the investors .

All that i can say about the investment strategy employed by the gentleman in the article is, it is a bomb waiting to explode
