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.

Birla SunLife Manufacturing Equity Fund

The Make in India program was launched by Prime Minister Naredra Modi in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. It was devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub. The primary motive of the campaign is to encourage multinational as well domestic companies to manufacture their products in India. This would create more job opportunities, bring high-quality standards and attract capital along with technological investment to bring more foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country.   Why India as the next manufacturing destination?   The rising demand in India along with the multinational's desire to diversify their production to include low-cost plants in countries other than China, can help India's manufacturing sector to grow and create millions of jobs. In the words of our Honourable Prime Minister- Mr. Narendra Modi, India offers the 3 'Ds' for business to thrive— democracy,...

Total Returns Index brings out real Equity Funds Performers

From February, equity mutual funds have to change their benchmarks to account for dividend payments. Until now, funds used price-based benchmarks alone. TRI or total return indices assume that dividend payouts are reinvested back into the index. What this does is lift the overall index returns, because dividends get compounded. For example, the Sensex TRI index will consider dividend payouts of its constituent companies while the Nifty50 TRI index will consider dividends of its constituents. Using TRI indices as benchmarks comes on the argument that an equity funds earn dividends on the stocks in its portfolio, which they use to buy more stocks. Therefore, using an index that also considers dividend reinvestment would be a more appropriate benchmark. Shrinking outperformance With a stiffer benchmark, it is obvious that the margin by which an equity fund outperforms the benchmark would shrink. Rolling one-year returns from 2013 onwards, the average margin by which largecap funds out...

Stock Review: Havells

HAVELLS India's stock performance has been muted in the past three months, in line with the weak broader market. But, given the turnaround in its overseas subsidiary and the launch of new products in its consumer durable business, the company's stock may undergo a re-rating.    Havells is India's leading consumer electrical goods company, with consolidated sales of . 5,527 crore in the past four quarters. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Sylvania, which makes lighting and fixtures, has established brands in European, Latin American and Asian markets.

Mutual Fund Review: Reliance Regular Savings Equity

    Despite high churn, Reliance Regular Savings Equity has managed to fetch good returns   In its short history, this one has made its mark. Though its annual and trailing returns are amazing, the fund started off on a lousy note (last two quarters of 2005). It managed to impress in 2006 and was turning out to be pretty average in 2007, till Omprakash Kuckian took over in November 2007 and wasted no time in changing the complexion of the portfolio. Exposure to Construction shot up to 28 per cent with almost 21 per cent cornered by Pratibha Industries and Madhucon Projects . Exposure to Engineering was yanked up (18.50%) while Financial Services lost its prime slot (dropped to 6.69%) and Auto was dumped. That quarter (December 2007), he delivered 54.66 per cent (category average: 25.70%).   When the market collapsed in 2008, thankfully the fund did not plummet abysmally. But even its high cash allocations could not cushion the fall which hovered around the category average. ...
