    Re: Are you making decent profit by investing in Shares, mutual fund?

    devi narendar,


    if you really interested in sharing the unique way you have deciphered wouldn't it be better to put it across in the open forum. i don't see the need for a email id or contact number.

    Every trader wants to know how to manage risk on one specific trade. Here are some easy-to-implement suggestions to get your risk under control:


    • Know how much you are willing to lose before you execute trades.
    • See if the stock is sufficiently liquid (active) should you wish to buy or sell promptly.
    • Determine the cut-loss level before trading.
    • Determine your profit target (take-profit-level).
    • Buy the stock only at an acceptable price level. Use a limit order when you buy a stock.
    • Immediately after the trade has been confirmed, enter the stop-loss-at-market order at your predetermined stop-loss level.
    • If the trade starts to win significantly, raise the stop level so that your winner will never become a loser.
    • Take profit promptly as the trade reaches your profit target.
    Trade Wisely and Relax,
    Devi Narendar:thumbsup

    Hi all,


    One of the most challenging aspects of predicting where the stock market will go is having an understanding that where you may want it to go often will cloud your judgment. For example, those of us long the market want and therefore think the market should go higher. The opposite is also true - those who are short or out of the market want it to move lower. The problem is that the market doesn't listen to those opinions.


    The market is like a teenage daughter - it does exactly what it wants to do when it wants to do it. The key to investing is not to argue with it, but try to take advantage of the moves that it makes. This means that you have to not only follow the trend that is in place for as long as you can, but also watch for key reversals. Most of the money I've made in the market have been from two things - following the dominant trend and getting ahead of key reversals in stocks and the market.

    Like a good mother who is ever watchful of her teenage daughter - you have to provide strong emotional support and guidance and, when they do something they shouldn't do, you have to be very proactive to make sure that she stays on track. Investors have to do the very same thing with their own portfolios. They have to realize they are not in control and that the market will do exactly what it wants. Their #1 job is not to fight it, but identify opportunities irregardless of where they think the market will go. In other words, they have to be a good mother of their own portfolios. This is a lesson that very few understand and it literally takes years to learn.

    Trade Wisely and Relax
    Devi Narendar:thumbsup

    Devinaraen,

    I cannot accept the parallel of a good mother watching her daughter to watching for your scrips. to each his way.

    The bse and nse markets opened at 9.00 instead of 9.55. From today the markets will be functioning a hour more on the request from people.

    Looks like it is a good decision for many.

    the market has opened positive and is positive on the first day of 2010.

    The market went southwards in a hurry yesterday. even gold prices fell down a little.

    as usual it is just a sneeze somewhere (I mean obama's bank plans) resounding all over. the weak global cues led to the plummet. add to that the continous selling.

    Banking, health care, it were worst hit.

    i feel the markets will be south/or not gather much momentum, until the end of the month. what with food prices up, security threat and the weather disrupting lives all over.

    the only good thing i heard about the chill in north was it would do good for the wheat crops.

    the disinvestment by the government is in the air. and there are talks of 75 of them being in the line. which one??

    BSNL is reeling under losses and is not able to face the heat of the competitions.

    there are others too..let us wait and watch..

    Hai,

    I'm new to the world of share market. I've just opened a 3-in-1 account in ICICIDirect. Before starting with actual trading, I've just started monitoring the NSE market online daily.
    My initial move is to make some share investments (not day trading). I would like to know from few experts here as to how to proceed on this. Bcos when i saw the nSE listing, there are 1000s to choose from. I totally have no idea on how to choose. For a beginner like me, can you pls guide me thro' the way of how to learn and what to monitor. Initially I'm planning to invest around 35000Rs. Pls guide me step by step on this. Thanks in advance.
    Latha
