Advice - Stock Investing / Trading

Sharing some Stock Market Experience

1. Prices follow results and not the other way around. Period.

2. Safest investment avenue anytime is THE INDEX.

3. You will only spot a stock after it has witnessed a potential breakout or breakdown. If you are lucky to have Spot it earlier you would need the immense patience to hold it.

4. The more successful strategies are shared in markets, the more is their probability of becoming less successful over a period of time.

5. If you make money by trading and investing you don't have to do teaching. If you are teaching you are really not making money by trading and investing.

6. When someone gives you a TIP ask the logic : story, fundamentals and numbers rather than the source "eg XYZ has bought this".. you will definitely not fall for the wrong advice.

7. Invest in markets like an employee where your portfolio is your BOSS. Probability is that your view will change in stock investing and trading.

8. Learn to maintain a physical Trade and Investment Journal / Ledger, rather than digital records, chances are You will have more grip on your trading, investing and money. (Write your logic of EACH trade or investment before you punch a buy or sell order - justify the system you have set before each entry).

9. Read more newspapers, reports and financial literature than listening to advisors.

10. Warren Buffet said that Derivatives are instruments of mass destruction when in reality *LEVERAGE* is an instrument of personal destruction. Stop taking that NOW. Your losses will never be brutal.

11. If you are able to make more than 18 or 20% per annum regularly on your capital you are doing ABSOLUTELY GREAT.

12. Never ever share your position size, profit and loss figures with anyone. You can share your Return On Investment (ROI) but not your absolute numbers.

13. Share your Trades but never your Logic.

14. Stock Market is RUTHLESS, it a place where you get punished immediately for indiscipline.

Happy Diwali

The Japan Story — From Boom to Bubble to Lost Decades From Postwar Ruins to an Economic Miracle In the aftermath of World War II, Japan was devastated—its industrial base shattered, cities destroyed, and economy in ruins. The United States, driven by a strategic imperative to contain communism during the Cold War, stepped in not only with financial aid but also with institutional and policy guidance. This included: Breaking up powerful monopolies (zaibatsu) into smaller, competitive firms. Introducing Western management practices and corporate governance structures. Integrating Japanese industries into U.S.-led global supply chains. Japan's population, united by the pressing need to rebuild, embraced discipline and innovation.
