    of course DSK we are interested!

    In know a bit abt ratios. The Current Ratio(Current Asset to Current Liab) ideally should be 2:1. We should also check on the Turnver ratios to determine the profitablity of the company.In the current scenario, certain stocks yield good profit . For eg Sugar Companies. Also now that there is a real estate boom, the related companies like Cement(mangalam cement is a good xample) are also shooting up in their performances. also , Oil companies are doing well. We would certainly like to hear more from you, DSK!

    Dear Sukan,

    I'll post more info on stock market & its basics when i find time. But providing trading suggestions, I don't want to do that as I myself am a beginner in this field. Also, there are 1000s of theories for analysing a stock & stuff. It's a vast field & any decision to buy/sell is a combi of many factors. I'll detail whatever i know of ,whenever possible.

    Hi Sonu,

    The type of trade would depend on one's needs,how long one can lock their money in stocks,risk taking ability etc. If you want to see quick profits(or losses :D) you can try intrday trading(buy & sell the same day) and swing trading(shows results in 1-5 weeks or so). If you can lock ur money for a longer period & wait patiently, u can be an investor. You can also be a mix of all these. Depending on what kind of trading U want to do, you can pick stocks. Intraday trades- you'll have to be glued to the mkt if u r trading for the day coz U want to grab the best oppor during the day(IMO, it's like a lottery.I still don't get a hang of how ppl do it. Medium term & investment trading- you need to do a lot of homework & decide on the rate & time to buy/sell a share. Your actual number of trades might be less in this case but U'll be doing a lot of background work. You need to monitor your stocks constantly but needn't be watching it throughout the day.

    Last piece for the day... If one really want to be in the stock markets, one need to learn to accept losses as u accept profits. No all shares U buy will make profits. Only when U r mentally prepared for it, enter into the market. I've seen so many ppl interested in the stock market(esp indian mkts) these days as the index is shooting up & the economy seems to be rosy but not many are ready to accept losses. They want to see profits right from the beginning , which is 'almost' impossible.

    new account

    Dear DSK,

    I also got a new ICICIDIREC 3 in 1 account last month. Till now I have not started using it.
    For anybody who wants to get a D-mat account , it is easy to get one in ICICI.
    I just registered online .They came and did the needful within 48 hours. They give you one SB a/c . one webtrading a/c and one D-mat a/c.So it is 3 in 1 a/c.
    I got like that only.
    What I waned to know is to the way to start going about it without knowing anything. I want to learn and have nobody to teach me, here. My husband doesn't know anything about trading. Can you help me??
    Regards
    Latha

    Hi ,

    I think i reached a right place to sharp my knowledge.Experienced ones are here to gudie us.

    Actually i am even doing trading past2years, as myhubby started it before our wedding ,transferred it to me, as he is busy with his work.

    First even i felt alot to understand the concepts, myhubby use to help me during weeknds. Suggested few sites to go through, which would be helpful to strengthen my knwoledge in basics..

    ICICI direct.com
    Myiris.com - Personal finance India for shares, stocks, equity, mutual funds, loans, credit cards, insurance, tax, mutual fund NAVs, BSE, BSE India, NSE, NSE India, share, mutual fund, loan, company results, credit card, and more...

    Though my portfolio was like noprofit, no loss till few days back, now i started seeing a small amount of profit...Its takes time to understand.We have to know currect financial status of our countries, world marketvalue...etc.,

    Regards.
    USHA.
