Buy stocks not just the product: Returns from 8 reputed companies you may have bought
Rs 300 worth of pills = Rs 64,147 today
Rs 7.5 lakh utility vehicle = Rs 5.61 crore today
Rs 2,500 worth of electrical fittings = Rs 1.91 lakh today
7) Indian Hotels
8) BPCL
When you buy a product, say, fevicol, do you consider investing in the manufacturing firm (Pidilite Industries) as well? If the company is good, perhaps you should.
Here's how much you would have made if you had bought the shares of some such reputed companies several years ago.
1) Asian Paints
You are likely to have used this paint brand for your house years ago.
If you had invested an equivalent sum in the company in 1999, your investment value would have increased 48 times by now.
Rs 50,000 worth of paint coating = Rs 23.98 lakh (today's equivalent stock value)
2) Sun Pharmaceuticals
Besides spending Rs 300 a month for medication from this leading pharma company, if you had invested in its shares, your money would have grown 21,282%.
Rs 300 worth of pills = Rs 64,147 today
3) Mahindra & Mahindra
If you had bought a Rs 7.5 lakh multi-utility vehicle from M&M back in 2001, and had also purchased its stock, your investment would be worth Rs 5.6 crore today-enough to upgrade to a luxury Maybach!
Rs 7.5 lakh utility vehicle = Rs 5.61 crore today
4) Colgate-Palmolive
The Rs 30 you spent to buy a Colgate toothpaste would also have made for a good investment. Your money would have grown 13 times, or 1,201%, by now.
Rs 30 toothpaste = Rs 390 today
5) Hero Motocorp
Did you buy the popular Hero Honda CD-100 motorbike years ago? If you had matched the purchase with a stock investment in the same company, your money would have grown by more than 10,000%.
Rs 30,000 motorbike = Rs 31.82 lakh today
6) Crompton Greaves
Though Crompton Greaves' stock price has taken a beating during the past year, had you invested Rs 2,500 that you spent on buying electrical fittings, the money would have grown more than 76 times.
Rs 2,500 worth of electrical fittings = Rs 1.91 lakh today
7) Indian Hotels
Did you enjoy a stay at one of the hotels run by this company while on a vacation? If you had bought its shares at the same time, the investment would have grown 5.5 times today, or 458%.
Rs 3,000 per night hotel stay = Rs 16,725 today
8) BPCL
While filling up your car with Rs 500 worth of petrol at a BP petrol pump in 1999, if you had also placed an order for an equivalent value of BPCL shares, you would have had nearly Rs 5,000 today-enough for 3-4 refuels at today's escalated fuel prices.
Rs 500 worth of petrol = Rs 4,993 today
