 Why do most of the traders fail to make money? Can a 12th pass candidate earns millions from the stock market...   Emotions play a very crucial role in trading in the stock market. I have observed that many times a well educated person (i.e. Technical Analyst) fails to make money and a common person who knows nothing about it but basics does wonder.  How does it happen? See, Stock Market is filled with the numerous of brains which comprises of several major emotions which every human being does carry i.e. Fear, Greed, Anger and Hope. And these emotions have no link with the education qualification of any person. A highly graduated masters degree holder or a normal graduated person both can have these emotions. Major winner will always be the person who will manage their emotions, not the one who is more qualified. Briefly understand how the market works, Whether you agree or not but it is true, Market is moved by market makers (20% people have la...

  Truth behind trading in the stock market. There are a lot of advisors in the stock market (i.e. so called 'Technical Analyst') who keep predicting levels of the security weather it is a 'Stock' ( e.g. Reliance, Tata motors, Cipla etc.) or an 'Index' (e.g. Nifty, Bank Nifty etc..) with so much of conviction that you can't stop yourself besides believing to those. My first question is how can you predict the price? There are not only a few people who are making the price but billions of people's minds are working behind the price movement. How can you read those minds?  Anyhow they start predicting with daily price levels, weekly price levels, monthly price levels and so on. Which is leading to people a tendency of speculation.  Just try to understand what happens in the stock market. These people predict the price with so much of conviction that you have no other choice but to believe them. When the price goes up they come up as a 'HERO' . Hey !...

Why do retail investors always suffer with losses? Are "Institutional Investors" the only one who has the right to make money?  These types of so many questions I was asking to myself and when you ask questions there is an answer. I was reading a very nice book where a concept of 80/20 pareto principle was nicely explained. I would like to summarize the whole book concept and betting that it will definitely help you provide an edge in investing. Firstly, I would like to brief you about Pareto principles. What does it say?  This is the principle of "Vital Few" which says 80% consequences come from 20% causes. It applies everywhere. Firstly, it is observed in 'ITALY' where 80% of land was occupied by 20% of the population. Another observation is that 20% is the conclusion of the whole book, 20% of your clothes you wear 80% of the time. Remember it is not a thumb rule but is just an observation and this simple observation works  wonders in the 'Stock Market...

Economic Analysis Economic Analysis is the primary term or factor which is used before any kind of investment. It stands first in top-down approach i.e EIC (Economy | Industry | Company ) So it should not be ignored as it plays a vital role to impact the stocks and their performance. There are few indicators which tell us about the economic condition, what is going into the economy and how they impact the business. These indicators can be found easily on google on different websites. One and popular website for these information is Trading Economics. Caution: The accompanying chart merely serves as a handy guide  and should not be construed as an accurate predictor in all cases. Many times the  anticipation of good or bad news is built into the market and when the news comes  out, the reverse move happens. Investor Choices

When a company starts a business has to face two kinds of risk one is systematic and another is unsystematic risk.  1. Systematic risk -   It is non diversifiable risk. It exists  because of macroeconomic factors like- Political, Legal, Economical, Social, Legal Rules and Laws. Because it exists into the system so it is a non diversifiable risk.   2. Unsystematic risk -   It is diversifiable risk. It exists  because of microeconomic factors like- Weak internal control, Weak management, Bad Strategies, Bad product line.    Example of unsystematic risk - Business Risk or Financial Risk. When we talk about beta it is a systematic risk which is non diversifiable. Which measures the volatility of the stock with respect to the market. High beta stocks: These stocks outperforms the market when market rises provided financials should allow and falls heavily when the market does fall. Low beta Stocks: These stocks neither outp...

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket".  The First thought when we look for an investment that comes to our mind. How to build our portfolio?

Company Analysis! Qualitative Analysis Why do retail investors always fail to pick the quality stock?  Why does it become so necessary to look at the management as a whole before any kind of an investment? "New Car - Bad Driver - Definitely there will be an accident. Old Car - Good Driver - Definitely you will reach the destination." Fundamental Analysis of any company starts with 'quality analysis' followed by 'quantity analysis' Quality analysis of any company is more subjective however quantity analysis is more objective and numeric. Everyone says see the management but nobody talks about how to see the management. We will  analyse the management as a whole not in a very concentrated way. Which means we will divide the management into many small parts and then will use the method of 'sum of the part' . So let us discuss how to watch management. There are so many parameters which an investor can look before an investment. But there are few key parame...

Extended Du-Pont Analysis (The concept of ROE)   Two companies having following ROE which will you buy? Other things are constant.   Definitely an investor will prefer company A as other things are constant. But this will be an irrational behaviour firstly we will go to the root of ROE from where the value has been derived .    Normal DU-Pont Analysis   Extended Du-Pont Analysis   Now Let us understand each parameter one by one. a. Tax Effect : It shows how much the tax a company is paying. If these figures are heavily mismatching then there can be a huge possibility that they are making manipulation in taxes to show profits more. Should not be fluctuated more.   b. Financial Leverage Effect. It shows what the effect of leverage is having upon the profitability of the company.Increasing is better as company is paying less debt In the figure above if we see Company B already has a high leverage effect i.e...

One wrong investment can evaporate all your savings, and one right investment can grow you like anything !  Very nice saying " The stock market is filled with individuals who know the price of everything, but the  value of nothing. ~ Philip Arthur Fisher When we talk about wealth creation it becomes necessary for us to understand what are the investment styles people have used in the past to create wealth.   And the answer is- There are broadly two most popular investment styles 'Value Investment' and 'Growth Investment'   1) Value Investment style:   Warren Buffet the master of Investment is majorly focused on value investing strategies. These strategies are for a long term basis and investment is done only those stocks which have just started performing good but price is not moving up or falling down.These stocks will be available at low Price to earning  and their 'intrinsic value' will be higher than 'market price'. Companie...

Price to earnings ratio (P/E) Overvalued Or Undervalued???  Most common and wrongly interpreted term in the finance industry. Let us understand the concept of P/E   If the P/E is higher than that of comparable firms, it is said to be relatively overvalued, that is, overvalued relative to the other firms ("Not necessarily overvalued on an intrinsic value basis"). The converse is also true: if the P/E is lower than that of comparable firms, the firm is said to be relatively undervalued  ("Not necessarily undervalued on an intrinsic value basis"). Price to earnings is the ratio which shows how much respect the market is giving to a particular company for his future potential. Example: If P/E is 20 it means i am ready to pay 20 rs for every 1 rs earnings. Let’s move on a case study to understand the concept . Industry - Information Technology. Company A - P/E 20,  Sales - 100 Lakhs, Profits- 20 Lakhs Company B - P/E 80 , Sales -100 Lakhs, P...

  Porter 5 Forces Analysis Cement Industry (India)   India is the second largest producer of cement after china. Total production of cement is approx 350 mn tonnes since the past couple of years. Cement industry is a kind of ' cyclical industry ' which is dependent on expansion and contraction of the economy. Let's take a look how it depends. For example if the economy is growing only then there will be construction activities like Housing construction, Commercial Constructions or Industrial Constructions. Government initiatives are also helpful for the boost in this sector. If we pay attention, the government has taken initiatives by allowing expenditure outlay of approx  25,000 cr out of which 13,000 cr is allocated for the project of 98 smart cities.  Which is somehow creating opportunity in the sector. This sector is majorly controlled and supervised by the government which interferes with its price. It is a kind of concentrated sector as we can see on...
