10 tips for Indian Stock Market investors

1. Decide yourself: Read and listen about stock market tips and advice. But do your own research about stock and its business before buying shares. Think twice before buying hot stocks.

2. Don’t get panic: This is the most significant point. If you are a long term investor and invested in fundamentally sound companies, your money will give very good returns. Don’t exit your holdings and accumulate more if you have money. But don’t expect quick returns over short term.

3. Oil will cool down: Even though demand is more than supply, current crude oil price rise defied logic. Any rise due to speculation is unsustainable. Oil may rise to $160-170 levels over short term but will return to below $120 levels within 2-3 months. Global slowdown in economy will decrease the demand.
4. Don’t overestimate crisis: Don’t concentrate on negative triggers only. If you analyse the situation, one can find positive things like reasonable growth in economy and better than expected results by select companies etc. In my opinion, next 2 weeks will provide best investment opportunities for long term investors.

5. Don’t underestimate inflation: This is the real problem. In election year, Government will go to any extent to contain inflation. It is better to stay away from inflation sensitive sectors like Real Estate, Auto and Banking.

6. Growth is still there: In my opinion, Indian GDP will still grow by around 7.5% which is very high in the current gloomy environment. How long foreign investors neglect fast growing Indian economy? Mutual funds and insurance companies are sitting on huge cash. They will deploy once Sensex fell to below 13,800 levels.

7. Sectors are crucial: If you invested in sectors like Real Estate and Airlines, who will save you in these days of high inflation and crude oil prices. Invest in sectors like CRAMS, alternative energy and niche companies etc.

8. Unbelievable returns: If you can accumulate good companies on every fall and invest in them for 2-3 years, such stocks will give wonderful returns over long term. Every sharp fall will be followed by reasonable Bull Run.

9. Keep some cash: Never invest 100% of your money in falling markets. Current volatile markets will give good opportunities for accumulation due to panic selling by investors. Open offers and buy backs provide short term investment opportunities.

10. Believe in stock markets: There is a clear slow down in economy but India story is still good when compared to countries like US which are already in recession. Mutual funds are not facing any redemption pressures which indicate the faith shown by investors in the stock markets. Only concern is valuations which are still high when compared to other emerging economies.

China vs India: Sikkim border conflict between India and China in 1967

Did you know India has offered 800 sheep and 59 yaks to China. Image Source: Google Images I am pretty sure its hard to believe, but its true, that India has offered 800 sheep and 59 yaks to China. 1962 war with China will remain in the memories of most of the Indians. Although China was not able to gain any strategic advantage after the war. Hence China keeps on waiting or rather creating these small issues to take advantage out of them. For this China opened another front in Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh, but they did not find any reason to start any conflict with India in these reasons. Then comes this missing flock of 800 sheep and 59 yaks besides the allegations of territorial incursions. This let to the build-up Sikkim border conflict between India and China in 1967. This is what China was looking for since 1962 war. Exchanges between the two governments dating back to 1965 reveal that China accused Indian troops of stealing the flock of animals from Tibetan herdsmen ...
