which is the best price to buy IRCTC and SBI card share?

do not know about ‘best’ and ‘lowest’, but if fundamentals are sound and policy environment doesn’t keep changing every now and then.
then most brick and mortar companies ought to give much better returns than the prevailing ‘risk free rate’ of returns.

it doesn’t look like the monopoly in online ticketing of IR is going to be tsken away from IRCTC anytime soon.
they are also tour operators and fairly well monitored deepite living under the shadow of being a government company.

8-10 years CAGR should be at par or above most benchmarks.

SBI Cards seems too generic a business and the stock, STILL seems to be operator driven (FIIs, Indian Institutional Investors and operator cartels).


any process? that you narrowed down on these two specific choices?

For 5 year, any buy price is ok.

But i will not but irctc untill its reach 3digit and sbi card under 500.

I know it may not come but lots of option available so why these two.

@titamazon What are the other options?

Irctc is good around 800 levels for long term and as far as sbi is concerned wait for another downfall in it.

Is there any other stock which we can purchase?

IRCTC was below 900 in the 3rd week of March. That was the best time to buy.

Irctc is risly for long term with privatisation coming by 2023

SBI is also not safe.they may be forced to bail out some Gujarati firm

But these stocks are currently expensive
l&t, nestle, mind tree, reliance, bajaj finance , axis bank,

nifty around 10,000 seems to be a good area for starting buying stocks for investment purpose as of now. Investors should wait for correction in market to start investing

sbi card ~525
