To make money is everyone's dream...But how? This question remains. This blog is an after effect of an argument with one of my manager's and I am thankful to him for that. If not him...I would never have started blogging!!! Maybe good for few and rest I don't care...Let me come to the point what this is all about..There are few things that keeps us ticking..people will say love, affection, care, friendship and lot more...but have u ever thought onething..To express all these we buy things and term it with a beautiful term called GIFT..Ever thought why marketing giants always advertises on Valentines day, Christmas and lot of other days? Ever thought why they care for our dear ones B'days and The Days? The fact is the don't care...its like firing at sky hoping some bird gets hit! This never works in markets today...It was a favourite passtime during the good times of 2007 and long before...now things have changed...
Let me comeback...To buy all these gifts we need money and where these money comes from? Ofcourse a good guess - we work, our salaries and what else...right! So lets infer we all work to get money and buy gifts for others? ha ha just joking...Take a calculation for argument sake...we have atleast 20 good friends...20 close relatives and 10 collegues with whom we are very close...These 50 will definitely have atleast one B'day per year and will be celebrating some kind of festivals that would demand gifts...so take 50days...lets divide these 50 days to 12months so how many days per month? The right answer is 4.167...lets take 4 days per month..and 400Rs per friend's gift and that makes it 1600Rs...So out of our say 20K we might be spending 1.6K for these...hey let me cut the crap..sorry for boring you guys...The Point here is the extra spending should always come from extra money!...
Have you ever dreamt of extra money? Yeah, ofcourse everyone dreams of and always tries out different options...Offlate you have been hearing that "Stay away from stock markets" Isn't it?
So guys I would rather say jump into it now and this is the best time...hey not a conclusion just an argument as I said my way of seeing it...but before closing this tab...do read through and understand why I say that...You know even my dad who I believe had never ever traded for a rupee told me to stay away...as always parents tells for our good...but this time around it was NO!!!
We all need to think of a life where we are not dependant on the regular salary and savings...make the money grow let it be by what ever means...my only concern is it should be legal..what if we lose our job? It is very unpredictable in the current market situation...people say the stock market is down and it is causing turmoil all around...but what is stock market? Its simply buying and selling off stocks by people itself...How market falls? The simplest and most digestable answer is when people sell the stocks the hold...and why do they sell? hey man...no more questions, they are here to make money and when they think they have made enough will sell...but the real fall is when panic sells happen...when people start selling seeing others sell...We all forget on basic theory of stock market..."Buy when everyone sells and Sell when everyone Buys" but guys don't go plainly on this theory...just get the basics right...I would say the best way will be to buy stocks that are undervalued than its real value...and how you know whether its undervalued? Keep reading lot of things to know...huh..just bluffing...To know whether it is undervalued is very easy...trace the past performances and where it stands with its peers...considering the market cap of that stock...how to get all these info? right...there are lots of sites out there...which I will be mentioning later...Now comes the real part...
As you all know there is no short cut to success...might deny since lot of exams we can easily pass by copying and nowadays the online exams where the master company is ur intellectual side...I mean Google guys...ha ha...but here the cut is longer...I would advice before entering stock market...keep watching...watching what?... Stock market ...then slowly consider certain picks based on your own rational let it be like some large cap stock like Bharti Airtel or whatever...hey please don't mistake as an advice to pick Airtel...I am not that mature with markets to advice you all...just an example...ok then as you are awaring markets are falling...right...so keep waiting...someday you can see that NIFTY or SENSEX needle goes in red and is falling...be curious pray well and browse through and if got lucky the Airtel that you chose will be in red too...see how red it is? I mean how much it has gone down and compare with the range it was in few weeks and months back...and in case you understood what all you read till here...you would surely have enough common sense to understand whether it is right time to pick our guy...if you can't decide...never give me a call...just joking...if you can't pick...assume your mind needs more time to make you bold enough to take decisions...don't be in a hurry...let the little bro/sis inside you take its own time...let me be specific...bro/sis here is you mind!
Wait for the right time and pick the right stock...to help you on that over internet you can find hell a lot of information...try browsing the following sites..again just my suggestion and not an advice...
1. http://www.moneycontrol.com/
2. http://www.rediff.com/
3. http://www.businessweek.com/
and lot more....
You know just to get a feel of the stock market and get familiarized...you can try using the following link.
http://moneybhai.moneycontrol.com/
Over this site you will be given a corpus of 25Lacs and hey just cool down...take a deep breath...25Lacs of virtual money...pick your stocks and play for few days, months or whatever and get in touch with the stock world...memorize the main ones...your favourites and lot more...keep going...
Sorry to disappoint you in case you expected some stock names to make some quick bucks...but believe me this is one market where it keeps changing so hard to pick a few...I have been making money on Reliance, Engineers India, Larsen, ONGC and few more since these are the key stocks that will keep going up n down..so wait for the down...seize the oppourtunity...then wait for the up...sell it!...you know when I started I had this stupid feeling of long term investment on stock market....ha ha...it never worked out...in fact just escaped without losing much...never think the stock pick you pick as ur buddy its their to fetch you some...so once your target is reached book it...hey let me tell you another thing...this is a feeling that you tend to get when you see your stock rising and firing up...the feeling is nothing but greed...hey not joking...scenario: Suppose you bought a stock for 1Rs later you see it is trading at 3Rs...you tend to hold it and see whether it goes to 5Rs and so on...remember onething...in order to make profit there should be someone to buy what you sell and who will be waiting there to buy the same stock for Rs10 from you...hey not always ok...sometimes we get lucky...lets not worry too much about the scenario..the underlying keep factor is...when you buy or scrip...keep a target in your mind according to present market condition and then don't get greedy...wash of your hands from that stock...pick the next one...this will work for sure..only thing is control the greed that is not a wrong thing because it is very much human and will keep you awake...
Ok. That's it!...What I wanted to tell in short is...whatever you earn...plan it and use it with brains and not with hearts...the notion of playing with money is dangerous...so keep it in check rather have control...once you find you are addict..make sure you take a break...In case you are losing money don't worry...take it as an investment...its like when we join a college/school we pay some money...we never ask them back when we pass/fail...take the initial days as a fees to a new course you just joined...
Guys in case I have used some technical terms inside this blog...please excuse me...just for show off only...(fieldil pidichu nilkande!)...Keep reading and wish you a good day/night...

Nice one... invest wisely
ReplyDeleteCouldn't make much sense out of this blog. Blame it on my ignorance :). Well, will look forward to your next blog on terrorism. Hope you could throw some light on the whereabouts of a certain Mr. Laden. :D
ReplyDeleteNecessary conditions but not neccessary sufficient conditions :)

pritvi,
ReplyDeleteyour article on terrorism was good.. it showed the passion of an indian and the thoughts and views of an individual..well i found at many places my thougts and views.. but the fact is to present the thoughts in a way that readers like which is tough and you have done it well..
what i do feel from ur blog or you can say my view is that Terrorism is not just caused based on poverty or the need for money and lack of goal in life. poverty can make a person criminal or a theif or to an extend even a gunda who kills people for money.. but not a terrorist to kill 100's of innocent people. A person might be poor, and a motive for money cannot make anyone to kill innocent people.. The person who is tagged terrorist will have some inborn feeling in him("not getting the correct word") which a bit nurtured can make him a terrorist. I have heard that terrorist people recruit people even before they start to think about the world, they train the people to inhibit their thoughts into them..and divert their mind to sacrifice their life for their community. In short i feel that poverty plays a very small part on terrorism.
Anyway dude keep writing so that we can put more comments ... :)

It is really useful for one who likes to start investing in Stock markets.
ReplyDeleteGood to see our invested money growing...
How far it will grow and How long? The time we spend on planning... Sleepless nights , tensed moments watching the stock exchange rates... Is this investment worth all this?
Can this investment able to pay you back when you really need money? I would rather prefer to invest in gold or buy some property or land. What do u think about that?
