USDINR Pair investment gives annual yield of 84%.

Approx 99.99% forex investment companies don't support investment in USDINR pair. After beating my head on nail I finally I found one online Forex investment company Oanda which supports trading in USDINR pair. It supports leverage of only 1:20, but it equally suggestable not to invest in high leverage in USDINR if you are going for long term investment.

Because of high interest rates in India and with 1:20 leverage if you will short USDINR then they will give you interest of 4.2%. After 1:20 leverage you will effectively get interest of 20*4.2 = 84%. pa The  best part of the story is this interest is calculated hourly and will be credited in your account daily.

Here you have two profits -> Annual yield of 84% and trading profit.

Though it is illegitimate for Indians to invest in USDINR pair but foreign Investors can invest in the pair.To find legitimate ways of doing it for Indians, ping me.
Theories of Benjamin Graham are ever lasting which were proven from more then 100 Years. His theories are widely respected by Gurus of Wall Street and Dalal Street.

I went through his books "Security Analysis" and "The Intelligent Investor" and found that still there is a lot of thrust of value investment in India, thanks to RBI policies.

In his time finding companies was very difficult which meet his criteria of value investment,but now with the help of sophisticated online tools it is very easy to do one level of screening before going through each and every company's balance sheet.

Below is the list of 18 stocks which suits the criteria of his views of value investment.

Here I used P/E limit from 20 to 10 because in his time he had interest rate of less then 5% (means your money will double in 14.8 years) but in India we have interest rate of approx. 9.25-9.50 (in FD,  SBI has  highest interest rate as 9.25 and Canara Bank has highest interest rate as 9.50%).

Here M.Cap is lower limit is Rs500Cr. (or $100M) which suits his point of not investing in very small companies.

I did not put any criteria for Div Yield and it is information purposes only.

Price/Book ratio's upper limit is 0.67 to make it a bargain stock to provide us margin of safety.

Lower limit 3 Yrs CAGR Profit % is bound to become 10% as it is less then inflation rate as well as interest rates.

Here I tried to become more strict in values so that we can narrow down our investment to 10-15 companies, to make our completely diversified portfolio. According to Benjamin investment in 10-30 companies is a complete diversified portfolio.
