All this discussion based on layman, who don't have knowledge about stocks...
We have discussed too many times here and also with our nears & dears that stock market is very risky but still the number of investors in market increasing day by day. WHY? Do you have any idea? Ok we assume that market gave profit to one of our known & we also decide to invest in market(generally people wants to start with small investment) but again what are our goal because we have only vision to earn more and more profit.
But most of us(investors) just go for investment according to broking houses Reasons:- (1)We dont have much knowledge (2) We dont have much time. (3) we dont want to disclose about our investment(sometime) (4) We believe in others rather than ourselves. and many more........
At last we will generally reach "At Par" situation means (1) No Profit No loss, or (2) sometime in loss. In both of cases we want to exit in the market. By luck sometime we will get profit but again after sometime we will catch the above categories(or loose our profits)...
We are here discussing about self analysis rather than analysis made by your broker.. Its our fault to believe in your broker blindly. & the exit decision is also our fault. If we want to invest in more profitable sector then we have to make short work out on all areas related to our stocks before investing.
But what is self analysis? Information regarding company is known as analysis & internal factors, international factors, future prospects of product of company plays important role in analysis. First of all go for medium to long term investment. Secondly, try to maintain diversified portfolio with different sectors. It is not necessary to invest in too many scrips but selected ones. try to collect more and more information regarding those scrips.You will never loose your money in market like DIIs or other big investors.
Lets discuss and review my thinking with you that whether self analysis is required or not?
