Intro On Indian Stock Markets


This post explains my experience on entry tinto the indian stock markets. This can guide you in a way to avoid the frequently committed mistakes when one enters into the big bash of trading. The trap I fell into was looking into the past trends of stocks (say a year) and their returns. Most of the stocks were penny stocks which yielded around 200% returns in the last 1 year but they were purely operator driven.

When entering into stock market investing you should do more research on the current events. Especially the US currency and US stock markets which drive the globals stock trend. After that you should look for large cap stocks (say asset with 50000 crore Rs). Banks and Pharma stocks can be bought initially since these 2 sectors favorable offer good returns if invested for 1-2 years.

Don't fall into the trap of making quick money and invest in penny stocks (say asset with 30-500 crores). These will be company/oprator driven and wont give you a favorable return. If US dollar is strong, go for IT stocks. If US dollar is weak, invest in Gold. If the Indian Rupee is Weak, don't invest in stocks, go for mutual funds or bank FDs. If the Indian Rupee is strong, invest in Banks. 

If you are planning to make an entry into stock market, initially invest in large cap stocks like Sun Pharma, HDFC bank, TCS, Bharti Airtel etc. The aim should be to make good money in a span of 2 years. So our investment should be in large cap and midcaps. Study the company's performance in the last 5 years. Look for its balance sheet in the last 2 years and check their QoQ performance.

Please remember only 10% of your savings should be invested in stocks. Remaining should be invested in LIC, Health Insurance, FDs etc.

Happy Investing.

Why So Serious, Huh ?

Of course the outside world is challenging. It is evolving every minute and we have to adapt to it at the right time. We have to be making continuous progress. We are often held up and occupied with tasks. We don’t have time for others. The fear of getting left behind has groped us. Whole day we reflect the issues we face or about to face at work. We are completely immersed into an ocean of problems before even they reach us. We forget our identity and play someone else. We portray an altogether new human which is nowhere close to ourselves. In that process we forget our true selves and don’t live life to the fullest. The very reason for this is the world and the platform which has gone increasingly challenging. People with similar or more knowledge and skills are out there – out to demolish us and we are caught in a vicious circle of survival. We are merely focused towards hanging on – to survive – to let the time move. Relationships - especially people management tactics have g...

Forever Young

In this fast moving world, no one has time for others. People are not even concerned about others’ issues. They are selfish and focus only on the benefits that they need. Due to the advancement in technology, although the world has shrunk and brought people closer, it hasn’t been fully utilized that way. The more people have been brought closer the more they are separated far apart. We don’t even care to know who sits next to us in office. This has become a virtual world. The No-Care attitude has cropped up in us. We have even got to the stage of ignoring our good friends. We don’t have time to participate in our friends’ events. We don’t have time to answer their texts and calls. We have come up with a firewall against the closer world and reduced our communications and relationships. Sympathy, Care, Love, Friendship – these became the qualities of the past. We are only focused on generating income and build our future on that. Thus man, using all of his senses has started to become...

From a true Barca fan - A tribute to Barca

When is the last time you enjoyed watching a sport? Have you seen any team that plays with passion, sincerity, atmost dedication and pride. Have you seen any group that considers sport more than their life? Have you watched any club that plays its sport like a well directed movie, like a breathtaking song, like a rythmic music, like a dream? Well there's FC Barcelona for you... I have been a Barca fan since 2010, ever sinc I started watching club level football. Until then I have been watching country level football which goes back from 1998. Both counter and club combined, I have never been in awe of wathcing any team play its sport such magnificently like the way Barca do. I am a fan of Germany International football team since 1998, but I understood football only after watching Barca play. Barca's philosophy is playing the sport like school kids, with atmost dedication and passion. There's no room for any stars or fashion. They play it like their life by applyi...
