There are three general directions.

Common speculating is going with the herd. Are a lot of people buying something? Buy it too. Then watch it very, very carefully, because you don't want to be the last one still holding the stock when they've all dumped it an ran on to the next big thing.

That brings us to the second type of speculator, the contrarian. When the stock keeps going down, down, down, but the company is still largely in good shape. When interest wanes, then contrarians buy and buy and buy. When the general herd says, "There's an undervalued company!" Well, somebody has to sell those people shares--for a price. Similarly, when everyone and their dog are buying into a company, that is when the contrarian starts looking for a time to sell the stock short. Exhuberance can only be sustained so long, then the stock falls and falls, much to the delight of the contrarian who gets to buy back (to cover the short sale) at a much lower price--and keep the difference.

Finally, there are long term investors. What kinds of businesses interest you? Who do you identify with? Does the company do it well? Very well? Well then, buy some. Has the price dropped recently while the company stayed solid? Then buy some more. This is investing.

For a ready made selection of shares

You can easily browse through some sites like

moneycontrol.com

investorsdailyedge.com

etc.


But .................. ................ If you dont mind

going by what others say,
will not always give the profit

It will hurt you more
when you end up with losses

Believe me, .....
people have gone made ... after losing in stock market.


Selection of stock is as personal as the selection of a dress for giving your wife as a gist on her birthday.

Yes.
You have to weigh all alternatives
and
the money that you have
and
finally select the best dress (or the stock or share) that you want to buy.

Even, if some one strongly recommends,

Still you should be knowledgeable enough
to convince yourself that
if you are in a place to recommend
then you will also recommend the same stock

In otherwords, you should be in a position to appreciate the good things in a stock that is being recommeded.

$$$$$$

I recommend you to follow the method mentioned below.



Take a note book

See the Stock exchange quotations page in the newspaper and note down any 10 shares and their prices in Group A
(say 22/3/2007)

The start writing down the prices every day for those 10 shares, every day for 15 days.

at the end of 15 days, you go through the prices of all the 10 shares
and just calculate the price difference between the first and fifteenth day

just go through the differences .

you know yourself which shares would have given you profit and which shares would have given you loss.

Next 15 days, you watch 20 shares this way.

within 3 months you will start getting inclination or interest to invest in some shares, taking all the risk.

start in a very small way.

remember, the money which you are investing should be a total surplus

you should not worry about it , even if the entire money is lost.

you put only thatmuch and start your investments.
you will bbe more careful and vigilant automatically.

never look back, feelign that had you sold earlier or had you sold later you would have gained more

thank your luck
and be content with whatever you get as profit.

Wish you Good Luck

Now that you have decided to invest in the share market, you sure must have weighed the pro's and con's. Being a new entrant to the market, it is prudent to follow the experts. If you have a sufficient kitty (> 5L), then you can approach private fund managers who will manage the investment for you.

The fund managers (like Kotak securities, ICICI Securities, etc) job is to collect funds from retail investors like you and invest in stock that as per their research is beneficial. The guys employed by the fund managers are generally experts belonging to various fields and know the industry inside out.

So, better go with the funds managers. Alternatively, if your risk appetite is low, you may want to consider MF's.

if it is so simple, the one crore poulation that is already making investments in the stock markets could have been crorepathies.
unfortunately, since somebody has to sell for somebody to buy, only either the buyer or the seller makes money, meaning somebodys gain is somebodys loss, meaning the net loss-gain is nil.

hence, the best thing as suggested by somebody here, start investing in mutual funds. certainly hdfc mutualfund is also one of the best. once invested, they keep sending details of their investments. start investing in some of these companies theoretically, and if your investment is giving better returns than the mutual fund, start investing directly.
remember one thing, it takes time tolearn the tricks. otherwise you loose your shirt ( actually you loose your pant-y)
