A view on Automobile Sector

India's automobile industry is an industry which has steadily increased and the money invested in the shares of the companies of this industry has increased manifold. As we take the example of Maruti Suzuki or Bosch Limited or TVs Motors or even Hero Moto Corp. One of the biggest reasons for the increase in automobile sector is the increase in spending capacity of the people. Today you will definitely see a motorcycle in any home. Motorcycle cycle is one of the basic necessity of today's time. If I talked about some major changes, then banning of BS-3 vehicles was a major change. At the time the Supreme Court ordered this, all the companies had sold their vehicles at a discounted price. Prolonged pressure in crude oil prices was also a major reason for the growth of the automobile industry, because the pressure on crude oil prices is considered good for tyre companies. Another change is in taxation, which is GST, it was a change that made the sector even stronger, contrib...

Impact of festive season on trading

Stock market trading is driven by only two factors fear and greed. Trading is a pure speculation of the price in a very short span of time. One has to be a master in this art and should follow strict rules to remain profitable. India is a country of festivals, almost every month there is some festival being celebrated in some part of the country. But there are several festival which is celebrated in larger part of the country like Holi, Diwali, and Durga puja. All these seasons sees a drop in numbers of retail traders. Indian market is largely driven by FIIs and one of the major festival for them is Christmas clubbed with New Year celebration. So around this time market liquidity gets reduced and volatility in market also sees a drop. One thing which can not be ruled out is that before the starting of every festive season we can expect a profit booking   approach from Institutional investors as well as from retail investors. There is a cycle which is repeated on yearly bas...

Impact Of Company's Quarterly Result On Share Price

Impact Of Company’s Quarter Result on Stock Price Quarter results of all listed companies are released as per SEBI guidelines. Due to which a very rapid fluctuations in stock prices can be seen. Sometimes a minor jump in sales figures drive the stocks in green and several times stocks fall after increasing in sales number also. It’s almost impossible to analyze the quarterly result in one go just after seeing the flash of news on TV. There are certain key things which can be analyzed in quarterly result: ·          Gross Sales: It’s basically a number of total sales figure. ·          Net Sales: From gross sales, one can derive net sales by deducting sales return, sales allowances, and sales discount from gross sales. ·          Operating expenses: To run a business there is a minimum base requirement of capital to operate. Basically this is the cost ...

India: Growth Slow Down (A note on GDP)

Indian economy slowed down significantly in the first quarter of FY2017, which is worst in last three years exactly the same years Modi government is in center. According to recently released data GDP expanded a weak 5.7% annually in Q1 FY 2017, which was sharply below the 6.1% increase in Q4 FY 2016. All those analyst who were forecasting a healthy growth rate now are vanished and our finance minister is accepting that this is a matter of concern. The probable reason of this slow down can be demonetization or implementation of GST. Export growth slowed notably from 10.3% in Q4 FY 2016 to 1.2% in FY 2017, the worst result since Q4 FY 2015. A strong rupee and confusion over the looming implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) likely weighed on the result. There are many evidence in which suggests that firms were not sure of how to price product, with some even providing pre-GST discounts, which likely caused disruption in economic activity. Meanwhile, import growth rose to...

The Buzzing country: North Korea

After every day or two a news comes in related to North Korea and market reacts sharply to it. The latest news came yesterday as North Korea confirmed that it tested a nuclear bomb which created earthquake of magnitude 6.3. US already warned North Korea not to do all these stuffs related to nuclear tests but all the warning has been neglected by the other side. Kim Jong- un is not listening to any one and he continues to do what he want to do. He is also even threatening to US and probably he is ready for a nuclear war. Donald Trump reacted to this test and is trying to find a way how to counter this without getting involved in a war. He asked to stop all trade with any country doing business with North Korea. Probably Trump is hinting towards China which is the lone country who supports North Korea behind the curtains. US along with his allies called for an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss about all options available. The fear of a war cannot be ruled out and if this happens...

Loss In Market

Share market is a place where everyone joins it to make profit and several of them end up in losses.There are many reasons due to which loss happens in market.Market is nothing but it is just the predictions,one who predicts well fetches the result in profit on the another hand one whose predictions are wrong end up in losses.Many of the losses occurs due to greediness and emotions.Some of the losses becomes huge because of not placing SL. There can be several other factors like getting suggestion from wrong advisors or brokers.Many of them loose because they want to make money in free of cost calls but forget this fact that nothing in this world comes free of cost.Poison which kills human being also require money to be purchased. There are two kind of risk associated in the market: 1.Systematic Risk 2.Unsystematic Risk Systematic risk is uncontrollable and Unsystematic risk in controllable.So with every trade there is always a risk involved there is nothing in this market which i...

Trading And Investment

Trading and Investment are two different things done in market. Investment is done for creating wealth by accumulating different stocks in your portfolio for a long term view.Investment can be diversified in different stocks to balance one’s portfolio.There is no any rule of selecting no. of stocks for one portfolio and there can be n number of stocks in one portfolio but having many shares may create difficulties in tracking portfolio.So a limited number of stocks should be there may be around 15.The portfolio should be diversified in different segment of market and also it should be reviewed on every quarter basis.Remember there is no any need to track your portfolio stocks on daily basis otherwise it will create panic in your mind.The selection of stocks should be only done on the basis of fundamental analysis.Entry and exit in a particular stock can also be tracked with the help of technical analysis. Trading on the another hand is done for making some money in short term or...

Greed And Trading

As nifty hit today 10k everyone celebrated it with great enthusiasm then suddenly after 10 minutes of market it bleeded red.The celebration continued and stories of nifty continued to be shown on some blue channels.I am very much sure that many of traders are still stuck at higher zone( view is only intraday ) and many of them are holding nifty by shorting it and expecting a crash in the market. Both the case is of greed but with a different view on market.As we enter into a trade greed comes in hand to hand in it to earn handsome amount of money and many a times after booking profit or loss if the stock moves in another direction where our profit was probably due we always regret our decision and next time when we trade we enters with more greed.Now if this trade also goes wrong we don’t book loss either we give reference to our previous trade where after booking loss stock moved in that direction where we were expecting.Ultimately our loss increases and a time comes when we are f...

Red Alert For Traders And Investors

I have been in this market for many years and seen lots of things happening around but recently I have seen a sharp surged in free stock ideas and some advertisement like earn 3000 per day and many more as such. Although I am not denying the fact that it is not possible to earn from this market but earning money from this market is not an easy task.There are number of analyst available and all are providing recommendation.Every one is shouting and probably share market is turning into a fish market.But in fish market at least you will be able to analyse the quality of fish what you are going to purchase. The lucrative advertisement with image of some girls posting this looks like a trap to me in many of the cases.I am not telling that all are wrong but many of them looks fake and are trying to trap a naive investors.Everyone should be aware of all these attractive advertisement and should be cautious before taking any step. Earning money from any source has never been easy and i...

Safest thing in Share Market

The word safe itself creates a sense of security and looks very much interesting if it is combined with the word “Share Market”. Everyone in this world want money at least to complete his banal needs but it is required to keep a pace with inflation or investment must beat inflation. Now comes the “safe” word which can only be considered with investment like FDs,RDs,PPF( many of them gives negative return if we compare it with inflation ) and many saving schemes of government can be termed as safe but if we want to view share market from spectacle of safe word every thing will get blurred. Nothing in this market can be termed safe either it is mutual fund or bonds.So if anyone want guaranteed return then Share Market is not for them.Analysis done before investing can reduce risk but it can’t be zero.There is always a risk involved but if you want an exponential return then this is the only place where it can be done conveniently. We all have heard a punch line “Dar k aage jeet h”...

Intraday Trading

Intraday trading is all about timing the market. Entry and exit should be proper and a strict SL( Stop loss ) is mandatory. One should not become greedy. This means you have to exit at target and stop loss. Risk management analysis should be done before entering in a trade. Churning should be strictly avoided and one should always enter in those stocks in which impact cost is less. Impact cost is related to market liquidity and I have heard many of traders got trapped at higher level and is not able to sell their stocks because no one is available as buyer and stock is on lower circuit on per day basis. Leverage trading should be avoided or it should be done after analysing the risk reward ratio. Many of traders asks intraday trading is a gamble but one always has to remember this if you are playing as a gambler then only game will become a gamble. If you have realised the risk reward and also you know your limit of taking risk then it is a fair play. Make your guns ready b...

NSE HALTED FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS

Today a new history has been made by NSE(National Stock Exchange) it was not working for more than three hours in morning session. The reason behind this failure was due to technical issue. The trading time was reduced ultimately because of this stupid reason and no one is responsible for this mistake. The loss occurred to trader and investor is ultimately will be bombarded on GOD and all will accept it as a fate to them self, may be some one will start  blaming market that it is a gamble. All are correct and I am standing on the side of traders and investors but I am very much disappointed because we are viewing a NEW INDIA through eye of our Prime minister and probably we are in a digital INDIA zone. All these things which are being claimed looks jaw less mouth and we have to move a way ahead in many horizons. Although these kind of activities can also be seen in many markets which are developed but it doesn't mean that we should follow the same suit. There is one proverb ...

Are we heading towards a war?

Are we heading towards a war? After seeing the current situation in Arunachal Pradesh standoff between India and China is looking quite serious. China is looking very much stiff on his stand and several reports in Chinese media is suggesting some threatening dialogues to India. China has also increased it’s presence in Indian ocean and if we look back making ports near Bangladesh, Sri lanka and Pakistan can be seen as china’s diplomacy which is a serious cause of concern for India. Although Indian navy is taking a close look at it and announced that it is a routine from china. On the another hand Pakistan stand on Kashmir and it’s impact on Kashmir situation is not hidden from any one. On every day a rift between militants and Indian army can be viewed on every news channel. Further cross border terrorism and ceasefire violation is a news which almost all Indians has predigested and now it doesn’t creates much of an impact on many of us. Narendra Modi diplomacy can be a g...

What Macron’s Win In France Means For Emerging Markets And India

What Macron’s Win In France Means For Emerging Markets And India As result of France’s presidential election has already been announced and Emmanuel Macron won the election defeating Le Pen. Emmanuel Macron is the youngest president in the history of France. As market was expecting the same and the positive rally was already in cashed that’s why market has not reacted unexpectedly after the results. If Le Pen would had won then definitely a sell off rally was expected. Macron has sounded pro-business, consistently talking about labour and tax reforms as well as infrastructure spending. The equity markets love these terms. All French and EU focused businesses are likely to benefit, and there may well be a bit of an up-move in European equities in the first half of the week.  Investors in emerging markets like India would be happy that the EU markets are now unlikely to see some vicious sell-off. This puts the focus back on domestic factors and the local triggers...

Current Market Scenario

The people who were expecting a correction at a level around 9000-9100 were deceived by market and with domestic stability on political front market danced, which was further tuned by corporate earning which is continued at present also.

How to be a successful Trader

To be a profitable trader you must overcome these ten things: You must beat the market benchmark you are competing against or you might was well just buy and hold that index. You must beat your emotions by following a trading plan. You must beat your ego by taking losses early when you are proven wrong. You must beat your greed by managing your position sizing to limit your risk exposure. You must beat your fears by letting a winning trade run when there is no reason to exit. You must beat your desire to predict the future by reacting to what price action is actually happening. You must beat the trader on the other side of your trade. You have to make enough money to beat your commission costs. You must not let the market beat you up with too many losses and make you quit. You must beat the naysayers who think active profitable trading is impossible.
