A guide for correct investment in the stock marketBY: David Prakash Kumar | Category: Business and Finance | Post Date: 2009-08-24
Stock market investment is one of the best methods of earning an income that can give more return than other forms of investments. This has been found to be true by many people after many years of research. In spite of high returns, there is an inherent risk in investing in the stock market. This is because of certain sudden movements that can occur in the stock market. This article gives a guide for new investors to invest in the market. This will help them to prevent loss of money in the stock market. 1. Invest partially: Investment in the stock market should be in phases. Many newcomers may make a handsome profit in their first trade. This causes a lot of greed that makes them put all their investment in the same stock. Within a few days when there is a correction, they panic and take all the money out leaving a huge loss. As told proverbially, ‘all the eggs should not be put in the same basket'. The investor should invest half the amount initially and then can invest more in any correction. The investor should hold some money in hand to be able to invest in a sudden correction, as this can give a handsome return. 2. Diversification: This is again very important and is similar to the previous guideline. Investing all the money in a same sector can cause a loss if the sector loses sheen. Investing in diversified sectors can give protection from a downturn in a particular sector. 3. Stop loss and targets: Each investor should have appropriate stop loss and targets for the stocks. These stop losses and targets should be based on analysis. The stock should be sold if the stop loss is breached. When the stock price achieves the target also the profit is taken. This method of systematic investment will help the individual to be able to make a lot of profit. 4. Analysis: The analysis of the company and stock prices should be made by the investor. There are times when the assessment of people on television programs can be wrong. The large amount of information available can make the assessments and analysis confusing. This is the reason for the individual investors to make their own analysis and invest accordingly. 5. Panic: Panic buying and panic selling should be avoided at all costs. Once an investor has missed an opportunity, then it is lost forever. The investor should only try to buy the stock in the next correction. There are times when the investor tries to buy after the stock has run up quite a lot. This leads to buying at the peak price and can lead to huge losses. This is the reason for panic buying and selling to be avoided. 6. Select stocks carefully: The stocks that a person wants to invest in should be selected carefully after going over the details of the company and the various positive factors that are in favour of the company. Just investing in a company's stock without knowing the fundamentals of the company is like putting the money in a well. These are the various guidelines that might be useful and possibly followed if an investor wants to make money in the stock market. Please do your own research before making any stock market investments. Article Source: http://www.saching.com About Author / Additional Info: I am a physiotherapist and also a freelance writer.
