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 ultra short term.Trading stocks are different compared to Investment stocks although trading can be done in each and every stocks.Selection criterion for trading according to me should be in mid cap or in those stocks where it is supported along with technical analysis.It means technical analysis should be the most important thing for trading.Speculative trading should be avoided but many of retail trader are speculator only.Proper target and stop loss should be maintained in every trade.All the trade should be emotionless and greed free.
Traders generally fall into one of four categories:
  1. Position Trader – positions are held from months to year
  2. Swing Trader – positions are held from days to weeks
  3. Day Trader – positions are held throughout the day only with no overnight positions
  4. Scalp Trader – positions are held for seconds to minutes with no overnight positions
Select your risk appetite category analyse your capacity and capabilities and start trading.
“Happy Investing”

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...

How to invest in stock market?

Investing in share market has never been easy and remember it will never will.
