IS STOCK MARKET A CASINO ??



This is definitely the most important thing one wants to know the day they listen to the term, stock markets. For most of the people, it is like a casino, where people come to lose money and go broke.




THIS IS NOT THE TRUTH. IN FACT THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT.


Yes, most people blow up their account and go bankrupt but it all happens not because stock market is a casino but because people don't have the required skills, knowledge, understanding and strategies to play this game of stock markets.

Imagine the day when you came to know about the game called "CRICKET" and the same day you decided that you will face Brett Lee straight away. You can expect what probably will happen! Right?


IT IS NEVER YOUR BROKER FAULT


People do the same thing in stock markets, the come to know about stock markets from someone and they think they have found a gold mine. Rather than spending time about learning what actually is a stock market people tend to play the game, without even knowing the basic rules.

And then people rue stock market is a bad place to be. In fact stock market is a great place to be in if you are willing to put time and learn and then apply techniques which you will learn by making mistakes.

So, here we will start learning from scratch about stock markets, using better platforms, techniques and making money.

Have a great day!

Understanding The Market Cycles!

Even though most of us know that the stock market follows cycles, there is still a lot of mystery why one is unable to spot it. It is important that one has to understand this market dynamics to be able to benefit from it. The length of each cycle is different- Every market cycle is of a different length. Sometimes the cycle could last only for a year and other times for decades. Valuations are not constant- Valuation or the price to earnings ratio keeps changing and they differ from one cycle to other. So what may be expensive in this cycle may not be expensive in the next. There is thus no set value when you know that if say the P/E is 50 then the market is overvalued or when P/E is 10 then the market is undervalued There could be one cycle within another- The stock market cycle is defined in a set But it can happen that there is a cycle within a cycle. The individual sectors could have their own cycles and small cycles would affect different stocks etc. These actually ge

When Sir Isaac Newton Lost Millions in Stock Markets!

Isaac Newton was one of the smartest people to ever live. But being a smart physicist is not necessarily the same thing as being a smart investor. And, unfortunately for him, Newton learned that the hard way. In an updated and annotated text of Benjamin Graham’s classic “The Intelligent Investor,” WSJ’s Jason Zweig included an anecdote about Newton’s adventures investing the South Sea Company: Advertentie “Back in the spring of 1720, Sir Isaac Newton owned shares in the South Sea Company, the hottest stock in England. Sensing that the market was getting out of hand, the great physicist muttered that he ‘could calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people.’ Newton dumped his South Sea shares, pocketing a 100% profit totaling £7,000. But just months later, swept up in the wild enthusiasm of the market, Newton jumped back in at a much higher price – and lost £20,000 (or more than $3 million in [2002-2003’s] money. For the rest of his life,

What is the Nicolas Darvas Trading System?

Nicolas Darvas (1920–1977) was a dancer, self-taught investor and author. He is best known for his book, “How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market.” Trend following trader? You bet. From Time Magazine Monday, May. 25, 1959: Nicolas Darvas in Time Magazine Monevman Darvas’ methods would raise the eyebrows of most Wall Streeters. Instead of studying what Wall Street calls the fundamentals—price-earning ratios and dividends—he judges public enthusiasm, a method that works best in volatile markets. “In my dancing I know how to judge an audience,” he says. “It is instinctive. The same way with the stock market. You have to find out what the public wants and go along with it. You can’t fight the tape, or the public.” More: Darvas’ system is tailored to his job. Since he has to do trading from wherever he is dancing (he recently completed an Asian tour) he ignores tips, financial stories and brokers’ letters, has never been in a broker’s office. Basically, his approach is that
