You see State Bank doesnt have $16 Billion in reserves but $11.6 Billion! Rest are not owned by State Bank but the other commercial banks. Counting your neighbour's cars dont make you any richer!

There is this huge amount of debt that is up for maturity in less than 2 months now (-1050.00). Expect another round of Rupee devaluation! Dollar may shoot beyond Rs100.
I have been receiving emails from individuals asking what they should do to protect the money they are saving for their sisters wedding, kids education and family remittance.

And for God's sake, do not "ask for investment related advice" on the internet!
All the best!
