Don’t Believe Everything I Write on Stock Market Investing

Do you ever wonder if you’re wrong about certain things that you currently consider to be fact?

Like the way you handle your money? Or like the way you invest in stock market?

Do you ever think that maybe you were wrong about that worthless stock you still hold in your portfolio? Or the advisor who advised you that stock? Or your own habit of making hasty investing decisions that led you to buy that stock?

Do you ever question your beliefs and opinions when it comes to investing in stock market? Like, where they came from? Did you develop them yourself or did you adopt them from someone else, like your father, colleague, or Warren Buffett?

Why Investing Now is Like Catching a Falling Knife

The Indian stock markets have had a ‘relief rally’ over the past few days. With the Sensex recovering almost 700 points over the past four trading sessions, investors are starting to believe in the ‘end of crisis’ theories floating around.


But the fact remains that the global economy and financial markets remain far from an end of crisis, and investing in stocks is likely to be clouded by high levels of uncertainty in the short to medium term.

Share Your Investing Story, Inspire Others

“Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.” – Eleanor Roosevelt (US diplomat & reformer)

Some bumps and bruises in stock market investing can be avoided if you heed the lessons others have picked up along the way.

Mistakes sometimes happen when you try something new, when you take a risk, when you attempt to do things differently from others.

Nearly every investor can point to mistakes he made – and the lessons he learned from them.

It’s cheaper to learn from someone else’s mistakes. Your job as an investor is not to reinvent the wheel. You don’t know every answer, but you can usually find the people who do.

Safal Niveshak understands this. And this is the reason I have created this platform of ‘Your Story’ where you can share your investing story – the investing mistakes you’ve made in the past, as also the stories about how your chose your winning stocks.

The Best Article on Value Investing You’ll Ever Read

Based on my readings of the world’s best investors and also through my own practice of investing in stock markets, I have come to believe one thing.

It is that long-term investment success is a function of two things:

  1. Right approach
  2. Right person

We have discussed these aspects of investing across several articles on Safal Niveshak. However, if I were to suggest you the best article I’ve ever read on this concept, it would be “The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville”.

This article was written by the world’s most successful investor ever, Warren Buffett, promoting the concept of value investing.

But then, is this enough to become wealthy over the long term?

The answer is – No!

3 Lessons from Steve Jobs That Can Change Your Life as a Human…and an Investor

In a few years from now, my kids will ask me what it was like to be alive when Steve Jobs was the world’s best innovator and businessman.

They will ask me: “Jobs was the best person in business when you were young. What was he like? What did you learn from him?”

What will my answer be?

You see, it is human nature to overlook the importance of those who are here and now. Those who are great and live among us seem more normal because they’re breathing the same air that we are.

But we realize the greatness of such people only when they are gone.

Survive a Stock Market Panic…And Make It Work for You

“You know how bad I feel seeing my stocks these days?” asked my friend Ravi in a moment of anxiety.

“How bad?” I asked.

“It feels lousy! Every time I log in to my online trading account and see those red numbers, and then compare them with where they were a few months back, I feel really-really horrible.

“And you know what,” Ravi continued, “Wherever I look these days, whether it’s a newspaper or a business channel, or even within my office, I find a lot of voices screaming loudly in my direction and telling me to sell everything.”

“Wow!”

“What wow? You’re happy to see me suffer?”

Investing and the Art of Discipline

“Half of life is luck; the other half is discipline – and that’s the important half, for without discipline you wouldn’t know what to do with luck.” – Carl Zuckmayer

Warren Buffett once said that the most important quality for an investor is temperament – how he behaves under different situations – not intellect.

In simple words, if you are an investor, your attitude will play a major role in your investing success than your aptitude.

It has been proven time and again that the worst enemy an investor can have is his emotions.

So, during bull markets, your worst enemies are greed and envy.

During bear markets, they are fear and panic.

Investor, Raise Your Voice Against a Broken System. Occupy Dalal Street!

Image Source: The Guardian

2011 definitely seems a year of uprisings and protests against the corrupt.

What started in the Middle East (protests against the autocratic governments), spread to India (protest against the corrupt government). Now, similar protests are seen in the (disputed) financial capital of the world, New York.

Thousands have gathered there to protest against the corrupt financial companies of Wall Street. This protest started on 17th September, and has been termed as ‘Occupy Wall Street’.

But why are people occupying Wall Street?
