Even after reading Benjamin Graham and Peter Lynch, one tends to forget or slip up on the basic tenets of value investing. For a person like me, this article served as a good reminder of those principles. The author has done it in a way one could easily understand them. Commendable is the author's effort to provide illustrative examples. Thanks to the author as I benefitted from reading the article. R. Radhakrishnan
A nicely written article but some things have to be mentioned. The quiz at the end of the article is basically measuring your extra money that u may have able to throw away. Somehow it does not measure your financial/economic knowledge or your ability to to look through a balance sheet or predict future about any stock with any degree of certainity. It does not seek to find out whether you have the time or the speed to go through thousands of the stock outfits that are out there and each one' parameters constantly changing whether market is open or not. It is still good in a way that it tries to measure your extra money. You may think that u have extra money that is actually not extra. How much social security u otherwise have? the quiz did not ask for medical and life insurance even though it was mentioned in article.
This is krishna here. I read all your valueble suggessions. I do not understand why people like you, write a such complicate articles. Just tell me very honestly who got time to invesigations behind any particular company before investing. that too there are severy typical points to check before invest. I told the same to so many writers who put their article in rediff.com . If you have that much knowledge you please disclose those companies names in different sectors and ask people to invest in them. so many people reads this type of articles and heatup for some time and they doesn't know how to startwith your system of rearch. this helps time of so many people. Hope you understand my concern in this regard
A good tip to survive the market crash is to buy stock during the market crash. A Prasad Babu Baikampadi feels that it is always better to invest in A group companies. Also the market also depends a lot on global market .i.e if metal prices are growing up the shares of metal companies in India will also shoot up.
