Broker selection

Generally many traders/ investors are confused about broker selection.

Brokers having two categories.

Full service brokers.

Discount brokers

Full service brokers are those who provide you all service into trading , investing. like he mail you early in the morning a report which contains last day’s FII, DII data, world market trend, crude, USDINR data,investment picks, trading calls for the day & bla bla bla… Full service brokers provide you a terminal on which you can see charts.he provide you some exposer for trading. But his brokerage slab is expensive, this is the one painful thing, which causes clients run off after some duration of trading, & the client start trading with discount broker.

Discount brokers are those who generally provide you semi-algo terminal like nest, or similar next generation software. But discount broker don’t send/mail you any financial awareness report which might increase your knowledge. most of discount broker don’t provide IPO service. they have high pledging charges.BUT they apply you very very low brokerage taxes compared to full service broker.

So which is best?

if you don’t need any help in market research , having good intraday strategy, enough trading capital then discount broker can be better choice. but if you want to trade on exposer derived from pledging your holding then discount broker might not be good choice. discount broker provide you cover/bracket order which are very useful in intraday trading as you can place 3 orders without paying extra margin. discount brokers compulsory sqare off your holding before market close.but full service broker can give you some time to pay cheque or BTST facility without paying extra margin (its depend upon your relation on broker & his flexibility). Full service broker & his dealers call you when your position is in profit/loss, as they are monitoring all clients position, this is a good advantage if you are not always in front of screen. All in all both are good, the main point is that what are your requirement?

As per my opinion, high or low brokerage is not any issue or don’t affect on your balance, if you have good trading strategy.i have seen many traders, who previously blamed to full service broker due to high charges they have lost money. And even shifted to discount broker, they are still losing money! Reason? because they stopped learning, analyzing & started overtrading as their brokerage is now almost zero. so they buy & sell continuously within some small points. overtrading is the weapon which kills the knowledge of traders. So i say trade less but perfect! enjoy!

Happy Trading!

How much return we can expect from Stock & commodity market?

Generally Stock market goes up.Now come to the question,
How much return we can expect from Stock & commodity market or an investor can earn by trading/investing in stocks or commodities? an investor who has diversified portfolio with well balanced Large cap stocks, often gets good returns.

Many peoples think that intraday traders can earn more than investor, but in actual the reality is different.

Sometimes intraday traders get good returns even daily 1-5% per day when market is in euphoria stage, Even Shortsellers also earns the same return when market suffers from high selloff recession stage, BUT wait, wait, wait, it is not easy as we think, those trades are high risk high return deals.So its not a everyone’s business.

Just imagine, a brave hunter enters in the cave of lion & catch the diamonds felled near the neck of slept lion & run out before king lion get wakes up. can you do it without any mistake? intraday trading is not different than the above story.

So, its better to stay Investor & be tension-free. An investor with good knowledge can earn easily 15-25% return per year.

Skilled Positional investor, who has better knowledge & deep study of that sector along with balancesheet analysis & technical skills, can earn more than 30-60% return per year.

Most of intraday trader waste their precious time, huge money, & neurons on the process or condition whatever you say, on which you don’t know what to happen, & is not in their control.instead of that hardly 2-5% intraday traders make money, & others loose their wealth.So doing intraday trading is not less risky than driving a vehicle in death circle.Database of returns earned by intraday traders is not accurate in media,as those who loose wealth leave the market permanently with blaming that stock market is a pure gambling.Whereas stockbrokers always say that intraday trader is a king, as they get their 99.99% revenue from intraday traders.

All in all if you don’t know anything in about Stock market, you should invest in mutual funds only.

You can become longterm investor, if you have some knowledge & taken a advice from investment advisor.

You can do positional trading/investing & earn better returns, if you are expert in reading chart signals, understand balancesheets along with better terminal skill, speed of placing orders & good experience of trading minimum 2-4 years.

Final words: before doing trading/investing you must work on your financial management, risk acceptable, calculating all earnings & its sources,& other factors.Don’t forget to discuss with your finacial advisor/portfolio manager before investing single penny in stock market, because afterall its your money. Happy investing.

Often we see some change in bullish trend, someone name it as a pause, correction, bear market & recession & even some time as depression.

But when we see Correction on indices or weakness in economy, it doesn’t mean that all stock will start correct.

So its necessary to go stock specific to add gains in your portfolio.

We get Some stocks which are in bull or Strong Bull trend even in correction & recession.

One more thing, i want to add is that good Stocks always outperform the index, although if you don’t know how to select good stock, then its better to invest on indices.

Because, you can’t get good return, if you fail to select a good stock.

And the stock will run away along with your innerwear, if you add BAD stocks in your portfolio!

Jokes apart, equity is a risky asset, & it contains Good & bad equity stocks. So one should select the stocks very carefully for investing purpose. The expectation are simple from the selected stocks.

The select stocks must give the more return than inflation rate, bank FD rate, & index return along with time given.

Yes, Time is Money, So we must expect return even for time given for the stock.

Suppose, you have invested $1000 for 10 years in a stock & you got the same amount after selling it after 10 years, then it doesn’t mean that you didn’t get return, it means that you lost some amount of money. yeah, the stock has eaten your money as well as time. The value of $1000 will be come down after 10 years, when you calculate it by comparing with inflation.

So i repeat, Indices are always better than an average or BAD stock, whereas GOOD stocks are not less than any angels.
