WORTH READING - 2



   

       
Lot of new investors entering into stock market in every bull phase .But not even 1/10 of them surviving here after the following bear market . This is not due to the problem of market but the problem of investor . For majority of investors ,stock market is a place to make some quick bucks by testing their luck.They are considering stock market as a place to gamble and happy with the peanuts they can earn on a daily basis .But in reality - for a dedicated ,patient and disciplined investor – it is one of the best way to create wealth over a long period . For that, each investor should  develop and follow a system which is suitable based on their risk taking capacity and expectations from market. Many of the terminologies used in market itself is confusing for a new comer. Lot of methods to follow in market for selecting stocks for investment. First of all we must decide in which boat we are planning to travel. While someone selecting fundamental approach for stock selection some others following technical methods . Again some groups following  a value based approach  while the others selecting  growth oriented stocks. Above all of these factors common sense and ability to connect the happenings around us with the fortunes of companies and respond quickly with decisions is the  most important factor deciding success in stock market.Lot of  books are written by great investors based on fundamental and technical analysis .But it is not very easy to find a book  explaining stock selection based on practically viable methods using our common sense and at the same time without any heavy usage of technical terms and equations . This week , I am happy to introduce one such rare book written by  renowned Investor – Basant Maheshwari- who invented many multi baggers at  an earlier stage. This book named as – The thoughtful Investor- explaining his own strategies in very simple language .One most important point  is ,this book is written in the Indian background where most of the books in this subject published with western back ground which is not easy to understand for a beginner. This book is really helpful to find out the winning horse from the large number of listed companies .In the pastmany of my readers requested me to name some good books on Investment. Since I could find many similarities in this book with my view of stock selection ,I am very happy to introduce this book to you .Cost of this book is Rs.999 , but it is not a waste but worth much  more than that .

    1. I am not too much bothered about macro factors .Prefer to concentrate on companies and their business. If stock price of any good company come down due to such macro factors , it is always good to buy more.

  7. Sir, thanks for posting this blog at a very good time.I think that many of the investors must be exiting their positions in markets due to current market fall. But smarter investors must be waiting on the sidelines for such a correction & will be accumulating value stocks at attractive levels.

  9. Dear VP,

    I really appreciate your efforts for the retail investors. Have been following your blog since three months. Indeed a clear vision with an microscopic eye for detail which we retailers tend to overlook.
    Keen to know your thoughts on Bhushan Steel. Is this stock worth hand picking for investment for 3-5 years horizon.
    Thanks
