Basics of Stock Markets - 3

How much Amount to Invest?
There is no fixed rule as such which says the minimum amount to invest. Ideally if you are able to start with 100K also it would be good but there are small investors who cannot afford that. If you have even 25K or 10K you can start investing but remember that the returns will not be significant.

If you invest 100K and if you make 20% profit then you get 20,000 Rs where as for 10K investment the return is only 2000 Rs. However you can start with 25K and then slowly increase the amount.

How much money can we make?

At present stock markets are giving great returns. Some stocks have returned even 100% in one month time. However you should be happy if you get 25% returns per annum. Contentment is important and if you try to make fast bucks remember that you can loose money also quickly.

Many investors would like their investment to become 10 times in one year. Remember that this kind of returns are rarely possible and so one should have contentment and should be happy with a set target of 25% or something similar to this.

When to Buy and Sell? Concept of Zero Cost Portfolio

We cannot predict the exact top and bottom for a stock. However the best method is to try making your portfolio zero cost. Apply this strategy for all stocks and then you can be risk free. However you need good amount of money for this.

Example : You buy a stock A of 100 shares at 100 Rs. If stock moves to 125 Rs, you can sell 80 shares to get back your capital. The remaining 20 shares will be zero cost for you. If you build your portfolio in this, you can enjoy good returns and it will be risk free for you.

However you should try to read the situation and then sell. You can sell the same stock at 200 Rs and make 50 shares free of cost. However see the market conditions and then sell.

You should also select stocks which have good growth story for long term and then keep making zero cost shares in those at every fall and rise.

Feeder funds are the cheapest way to invest in gold

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   There are four ways to put your money in gold — buying physical gold/jewellery , putting money in gold exchange-traded funds ( ETFs ), investing in a gold savings fund and going for the National Spot Exchange's e-gold. Now, some gold ETFs and e-gold even allow taking physical delivery of gold at the end of investment tenure. That might sound good if you wish to possess physical gold. But, given the firm price of gold today (almost ~31,000 per 10g), it is important that gold is bought through acost-effective avenue. Reason: Investing comes at a price. Add to that, India's gold buying is expected to decline in 2012 and 2013, according to the latest World Gold Council ( WGC )report. WGC Director Vipin Sharma feels gold imports may drop to 800 tonnes from 967 tonnes last year. And the mix between the jeweller...

Lump Sum or SIP?

Invest Mutual Fund Online     You have a lump sum in hand and you wish to invest in equity funds. However, you have heard a lot of talk about investing in equity funds through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) because they help average costs, ensure you do not ill-time the market, and help you invest in small sums, besides giving you many other advantages. So, should you invest the money you have in hand in one go, or let it remain in your bank account and then do an SIP? There is no harm in investing a lump sum amount. For all you know, compounding, over the long term, could work better with lump sum. However, make sure you fulfill all of these three criteria if you want to invest in one go. Else, SIP is the way to go. #1: You invest for the long term According to past data, ideally, if you have a time frame of 12 years or more, you can consider lump sum investing (provided you satisfy the other two conditions that follow). So, what is the sanctity behind 12 years? Is it because only...

Mutual Fund Review: Reliance Regular Savings Balanced

Reliance Regular Savings Balanced fund has shown great resilience during market crash After a shaky start, this fund has established itself as a strong contender in this space. In the past three years it has ridden the market well by not only delivering during the market run-ups but also displaying resilience during the crash. In 2008, it witnessed the second lowest fall among its category and last year it was amongst the top three performers with a return of 76 per cent (category average: 61%).   The poor underperformance in 2006 can well be credited to the low equity allocation of the fund, which stood at just over 10 per cent for only four months that year. Though the fund has the leeway to go up to 75 per cent in equity, it has never touched that limit. In fact, it has exceeded 70 per cent in just five months in its entire history. During the crash of 2008, the fund managers had no problem going right down to 54 per cent (equity exposure). Fund managers Omprakash Kukian and A...
