Not a good idea to invest in stock market, because it's cheap right moment. Better to invest in real estate / property.
Sorry, my opinion is that just now its time to invest in stock market! But only on long term and in quality companies to avoid risk that they will broke
I do little bit of business at stock markets. I have not invested lot of money in this business as I think this business is too risky. I already have lost quite some money at KSE [Karachi Stock Market]
If that goes to me, please explain if you think that is better to invest in stock market when its bull market? Note that i mentioned long term investment. For example, not the same, but with many connections....was it better to reg clm.com when no one wanted that "crappy" domain which dont mean anything, or its better to buy it now when everyone would like to have it in their portolio? If you find good company with bright future ahead, now its time to buy its shares. If you are a day trader, then now its not time for investing in stock market, but it is if you can invest and be inside for few years.
Investing in stocks and mutual funds is a good way to earn passive income. You just leave the money and let it mature and grow. I just recently attended a seminar and saw the value of this. I am about to invest some money... just don't know where.
No, my post wasn't about anyone specifically. Just the general stupidity of this forum when it comes to investing.
This is opportunity which most dont have during their whole life. Stocks are way under their fundamental value. Its the most important thing to invest your own money (not credit as ALWAYS is risk with stocks because of many factors), and to have time for waiting, and that you choose good company which will not be turned off after short time. Also is important free float, and structure of big owners.
I don't think that is possible. (I may be wrong). As far as I know, foreign individuals are not allowed to buy Indian stocks. Only registered FII's (foreign institutional investors) are allowed to participate in Indian markets. (NRI's and PIO's are exceptions). You can invest in India via an India-focused fund or buying Indian ADR's listed in US.
Negative thoughts will not let you make money in there. Mistakes always happen, but one cannot be expected to sit back and say market is bad, its the same very market thats been making people, and ofcourse poor also but I think it is those who are foolishly investing without paying much attention OR something tragic happened with them like a company died just as Satyam did, although Its again doing good since Tech took it. Could be the case, but atleast discussion helps know more about stuff. Everyone has atleast 5-10% knowledge, you know it could make it double knowledge when a discussion is going on Properties are also a good place to invest, but a lot of people cannot afford buying flats, specially if they are living in a metro or any other big city. I stay in Bangalore and I certainly cannot afford a 20-40 lakh flats to invest in. Secondly, I'm a student and nobody will give me a loan to buy anything and plus if you see Banks need security and also a hefty 10-15% down payment. So what will they do? What about people who have very less money like less than 1 lakh to play with? But for those who do have a lot of money to play with. Buy Properties and also put in market. We lose and we gain, that always happen. But if we do learn about it and gain only a bit of knowledge, we can do much better at it. Never forget that investing in market only involves only money, you dont have to do a hectic job, just pay attention to whats going on in the market and book your profits. Watching News channels can also help. One doesnt need a pro in the market to gain and before investing one should know that there can be a loss as well, and if you book a loss, do better next time. Remember that market slowly goes up and up just like a mountain, and then collapses at a peak time. You should just work out the correct time of taking out, and if its risky, take out before, book a lesser profit if its risky. Its still profit right? Better than bank interest on savings? Long Term investment is the best thing. Read about the company, their profits, annual reports and if its good invest in it. Also look at the sector you are investing and if that sector is doing good recently. I also take a look at how that company has performed in last 6 months and 1 year. That gives an idea about the company's potential. Like I would suggest investing in infrastructure, constructing, building materials like cement,steel companies as the government is giving it full benefit and they are most likely to go up and they are like we see. So good companies and good sector for the current market is the best way to go. And for day trading, this is a good time, If I really had been trading with infrastructure companies like DLF, I'd be hefty rich by now, it has gone up 150+ points, which is 50%+ in less than a month and it had to.
I have never tried investing in an Indian Stock Market that sounds so interesting and must have to try...
i used to lose a lot of money in the stock market by just gambling with options lol now i only trade in natural resources companies or anything related to commodities/precious metals that's the place to be right now! metals are in a bull market just be careful to step in right now though since the markets have made a big run without any correction the last months... buy in when it has dipped
Stocks just rallied the last few weeks, but there are still some great buys out there. Here is one for some of you who may want to take a gamble on the celebrity beverage market: DKAM.ob. It's under $.20, and they have a lot of good things in the hopper, such as: Kid Rock Badass Beer Dr. Dre Tequila Many other celebrity endorsed spirits & products. I'm not a professional, but this is a stock I feel pretty good about if you have some spare funds and be patient. Yes it is a penny stock, so of course it's a risk, but a lot of good things are in the pipeline for this company.
I think all of the world stock markets have gone crazy. Stock prices and company performance seem to be totally unlinked at the moment. How can all companies be doing so well now (in the recession) that their stock price is double that of 6 months ago - have a look there are a lot of them out there that have doubled in price in the last half year. I think what is driving it is demand due to other investments providing such poor returns. You'd be crazy to put money in the bank these days because interest rates are so low. So if not the bank, where to invest? The stock market seems to have been the logical choice for a lot of investors.
No company dies unless somebody did a huge fraud like Satyam. Companies do go up and down at times. Company Profits play a huge role in this. And ofcourse the FII moves. Wherever they buy lakhs of shares, the company's share value goes up and where they sell, value is down. We are like puppet in their hands
