#7 Tips for starting out in the world of investing

Here are my #7 tips for anyone starting out in the world of investing.


  1. Stay away from intraday trading. It is gambling and you will lose all your money. Not a single person became rich by day trading.
  2. Never invest borrowed money. Only invest that extra money left after spending on your daily basic needs. So that even if you loose the money then it will not effect your normal life.
  3. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your portfolio by investing in different sector stocks.
  4. Buy when everyone is selling. The best time for investing in a fundamentally strong stock is in bear market. Follow strategy of buy on every dip. Invest small small amount on every 5-10% fall.
  5. Don’t check price of stock daily. Because that will create panic situation. If the stock in fundamentally strong then no need to worry.
  6. Don’t invest blindly in the stocks recommended by others. Do your own research and invest only when you are satisfied.
  7. Keep patience, understand the power of compounding. Warren Buffett made more than 95% of his money after the age of 50 (see below image).
Congratulation!! Because you have decided to invest at very young age.
Happy Investing!! :)

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, ...

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.
