I'm getting interested in share trading.how do i know about it ?.Is there any books for that?

Answer 1

There are umpteen number of resources to know about share trading.

BASICs first:
1. You need to have some spare money. I mean really spare money which if gets stuck for some time, your life style doesn't get hampered.
2. You need to open a trading account with a stock broker, a demat account with one of the DPs and ofcourse you must be having a banking account to transact the money part.

About learning:
You can surf few authentic websites. The websites of Bombay stock exchange ( www.bseindia.com) and National Stock exchage ( www.nseindia.com) are the most authentic source of the information. You can try the "research" section of www.icicidirect.com ( by ICICI bank).

Keep reading in newspapers ( Economic Times and Business Standard are the best sources, Mint is also a worthy alternate), magazines like Business World, Business Today etc.

You can join few blogs or groups. You can post your questions to them.

You can also discuss with people who know enough about markets ( preferably who have lost some money sometimes and again earned it and who have spent atleast 5 years in the market ops).

One suggestion: Please be very careful. Losing money is most easiest thing in the market than earning for a small retail investor. You need to be very methodical in your investments. Else please try the mutual fund way of investing.
