Never listen to analysts and writers.

In this article, wouldn't the author be quietly making money instead of writing this article about share market. :)

Some silly advise of never shorting and buying during crashes may look sensible but it isn't.

How long is long term
by dharmendra jadoun on Feb 25, 2011 04:22 PM  | Hide replies

In last 5 years sensex is at almost same level with lot of ups & down.

The investment part of it taken a good blow, i think now it is only for traders not for investors

otherwise how one can believe that there is no rise in company worth (shares) in 5 long years , every commodity price has increased manifolds in this duration.

One should invest during market crash, when bottom has come, in good large stock reputed almost leader in sector you decide.
The question is how to decide the bottom has come.Wait for the bottom when shares are decreasing and when shares appreciate by about more than five percent than purchase shares for appreciation of ten to fifteen percent further and earn profit.
Further how to decide good stocks.
shares having min debt or no debt are good stock
shares were promoters hold more than 51 percent holding are good shares.
Shares were dividend payment is atlest fifty percent of the EPS.
shares must be always large cap and leader in product which yo are purchasing atleast among top three

Ups and downs controlled by Polititians !
by Romesh on Feb 25, 2011 03:39 PM

Any decission making authorities use teh share market to make fast bucks and this is how any govt in power would make money. They know in advance the info they have and going to release to the public will have on the market and accordingly they position themselves to loot the Aam Aadmis.
This is why they have kept the LTCG at one year so that the profit thye make is exempted from IT and it is a white money.!
Tail piece - hook on to some politicians in power and get the info and make lacks or crores!

invest like SIP
by Sunita Yadav on Feb 25, 2011 02:17 PM

moral of the story is that you should invest like SIP in stocks like RIL, TCS, L&T, ONGC, COAL india, BHEL, infosys, SBI etc as these are large cap stocks and safe stocks as company fundamental is very good. I did the same thing and earned fair returns also

Shorting has nothing to do with opening bank branches for goodness sake.

Very well written. Good advice for investors who look for immediate returns. When the chips are down, it is a smart move to invest in quality stocks. No point wasting your time investing in penny stocks (as you must have already seen over six months) that it does not help.
