eLearning Community to Help People Invest

[vjuneja]

Hi Guys,

I have been browsing through PG silently for atleast 2 years now but hardly have i ever posted anything or given any sugestion. I think this is my chance. I have seen a lot of people who are interested in serving the community for so many reasons, being it to increase weightage of their CV's or their understanding towards their social responsiblities, the list is endless.

Many people are there who would love to contribute something back to community but there isn't just any time in their tough routines or they are to proccupied with other things and this is just not a priority. Reason could be many.

I would not boar you by giving multiple number of suggestion like these, but really want to share with you my views on an idea I have in my mind for long now :

If we want to serve the community why can't we start on our own, lets establish a not-for-profit organization rather than an NGO which would guide people on how to invest. This is what I plan to do :

• Start a not for profit organization which helps people invest;
• People follow a dummy portfolio of stocks, bonds, commodities, mf's etc. which are live portfolio's and if they just replicate those portfolio's they make money, not something like a live call but explain them reasons for every investment so as to educate them and make them self-sufficient in taking these calls;
• There is no charge of any kind for giving calls, or for education them;
• The same site would also have something like an Investment School which would have its own Mentors and students(common man like you and me) and dozen's of courses from forex to commodities, from stocks to mutual funds from Hedge Funds to Private equity Money all built on a very university like platform which has its own tests, chat room, course codes, course contents, subject lines, structures.etc.
• The idea is to educate people for free help them channel their investments from Fixed Income Instruments like FD's.etc to other forms of Intruments and help them make some money in this bull run.
• The same website also has something like a HelpDesk which caters to all sorts of queries in a very professional way being it tax related or investment related.
• There are loads of people our there almost 95 out of 100 which have no clue about how to make investments, what MF's are how to invest in them properly and the sad part is most of us only the elite educated people don't know anything about the world of financial instruments;
• Why not we make these people, people like you and me like your and my dad learn all these things at their own pace, at their own comfort and in the end be awarded a certificate which is certified by top websites like pagalguy(just a thought) and charge them some fee in return for just the certificate and some advanced courses.
• All the money collected in this way would be donated at the end of the month to some charity like CRY, SHIKSHA.etc and the receipts including all the money collected, via ads, donations, Investment school fees.etc would be published on the website for transperacy.
• Guys the idea is simple educate the people like you and me more and request them to pay a little give them services for their money and with that money educate the poor.

It's a very simple concept but a little different from the bunch of NGO's etc out there and at the same time maintain transperacy by publishing the receipts for both revenues collected and donated.

Yes but the odds are one has to comfortable with some financial instruments that is it.

Guys this is just a thought which I plan to impelement pretty soon. Please this is no publicity just a thought and which I wanted to share with all of you. Please let me know what you think and would any of you willing to join, if something like this is started ?

Regards,
Varun
