Risk small investor & traders take

Risk small investor & traders take is always very high as they want higher returns in short period of time and normally they carry a feeling stocks below Rs.50 can multiple faster than stock above Rs.200 they look-out for stock with low price and never worry about fundamentals using this  tricky promoters have stock split to keep their prices low which many investor and traders fail to read.

Face Value-Face Value is important to know before buying a stock if you are attracted towards buying low price stock as buying Re.1 paid 20.Rupees stock and Rs.10 paid stock priced @ Rs,200 is same.
Investor also get attracted towards stock which has corrected more than 50% thinking it is value and they are getting the stock @ discount sale but they never discover the reason why the stock corrected so much and what are the changes which happened in the company for such price ersion.

It is not always small investors who get trapped even big investor, Mutual funds and Hedge funds get trapped in few great growth story which never see’s the light but stock market is the ability to take calculated risk so investor should check the track record of the company before investing.

Stephen Greenspan’s book, Annals of Gullibility: Why We Get Duped and How to Avoid It. Greenspan, a professor of psychology, explained why we allow other people to take advantage of us and discussed gullibility in fields including finance, academia, and the law. He ended the book with helpful advice on becoming less gullible. http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/when-intelligent-people-make-poor-decisions/382348/  When intelligent people make poor decisions

The irony is that Greenspan, who is bright and well regarded, lost 30 percent of his retirement savings in Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. The guy who wrote the book on gullibility got taken by one of the greatest scammers of all time. In fairness, Greenspan didn’t know Madoff. He invested in a fund that turned the money over to the scheme. And Greenspan has been gracious in sharing his story and explaining why he was drawn to investment returns that looked, in retrospect, too good to be true.

Investing in stocks is always fraught with risks. There is, however, no dearth of people around who not only invest in low-risk stocks but also in very high-risk stocks such as penny stocks, turnaround stocks and concept stocks because of the lure of high returns, and most of them often end up burning their fingers too.

It is not that investing is such stocks has never been rewarding. Sometimes people make good money by investing in high-risk stocks also. But such instances are very limited. It is better, therefore, to know the risks involved before putting your hard-earned money into high-risk stocks:

Penny Stocks: These are low-priced stocks, typically less than Rs.20 (although there is no set definition). Trading in these stocks happens mostly for speculative purpose. The price movement of these stocks is more driven by trading than by the stock’s fundamentals.

Turnaround stocks: Generally a company that survives bankruptcy is considered a turnaround stock. This definition also applies to turnaround in fortunes of fundamentally-strong companies after they have experienced some hard times. The bad phase can occur due to adverse market conditions, adverse policy and economic conditions or even poor management.

Concept Stocks: Unlike penny and turnaround stocks, concept stocks are those stocks which are likely to create significant value for investors in future and are from sunrise industries or are focusing on new innovative and unique industries, technologies or services.

Day trading in stock market

Trading in any form is one I never liked and never recommend there are few interesting facts which I found and I am sharing the same.


There are growing numbers of day traders who are very disciplined and professional in their approach and it has been demanding task for them as market has been outgrowing and only people with their own analytical skills have survived better and they have changed with the terms & tunes of market. Day traders provided liquidity, volumes and stability in markets and that has been one reason for high intraday volatility. Now time has come to upgrade themselves which will be a very difficult task as many Indian day traders have been traders due to constrains in capital and they have to upgrade to improve their earning.

• Day trading is a zero sum game where 90% of the people lose to smart 10% people on regular basis
• Traders in my view should be smart by self and he/she should develop his/her own technique, any one taking tips or advice can’t sustain in long term.
• Smart day traders enter late into trade and fast to exit first and last 30-45minutes they never trade.
• Day trading means squaring up their position intraday profit/loss and there is never change in focus and they never become a forced investor.
• Cutting their losses and running profits are their inherent skills
• Interesting facts is 30% of the total money lost by traders goes into the hands of brokers a.s way of brokerage and rest towards taxes to government

Algorithms may push day-traders to the brink, Thousands of day-traders earning a living from arbitrage opportunities in Indian stock markets may become extinct in the next few years, thanks to the accelerating interest in algorithmic trading. The rising number of brokerages with algorithm, or computer programme-driven trading, may turn out to be a second turning point in Indian markets after the introduction of electronic trading a decade-and-a-half ago, which shuttered about 20 stock exchanges and many local brokerages, but expanded the trading community and volumes by leaps and bounds. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/market-news/Algorithms-may-push-day-traders-to-the-brink/articleshow/5438544.cms


Can you insure wrong trades put in by brokers?


NOW that trading hours have been advanced, should every function linked to the stock market also start at that time that is what one annoyed broker feels. This person punched in a wrong trade minutes after trading began on Monday. He frantically tried getting in touch with the insurance company to make a claim, only to be told that their business hours started from 10 o clock.


The Adhunik Group of Industries, with interests in power, steel, cement, transmission towers and mining businesses, has initiated talks to acquire 50% stake in an Australian coking coal mine for $100 million, said a person with direct knowledge of the development. The mine, located in the Bowen Basin of Queensland, has total estimated coal reserves of around 180 million tonne.     The deal, if successful, will be routed through public-listed Adhunik Metaliks, which is the flagship company of Adhunik group, and operates an integrated steel plant in Orissa. Coking coal is a key input for steel-making, and the acquisition will help Adhunik Metaliks meet its raw material requirements. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/indl-goods-/-svs/metals-mining/Adhunik-in-talks-to-buy-50-in-Australian-mine-for-100-mn/articleshow/5438719.cms
