Thread: Winning at Stock Trading

The world of trading and investment can be as frustrating as it can be rewarding! You need to be prepared...

Firstly, decide if you are a trader or an investor.




An investor is someone who enters the stock market inadvertently - usually via their superannuation policies. A trader is someone who makes a decision to buy and sell shares via the stock market. This can be done online or by using the services of a stock broker.

If you decide to become a trader - to win - you must have a survival strategy...

You need to study the market yourself - not just rely on 'reading the news', or listening to others advice and tips.

Take advantage of technology - computers, software, electronic data - all at your finger tips. Seek out charting software and appropriate internet sites - they are plentiful.

Ensure that you 'manage' your money and keep some in reserve.

Have the ability to quickly identify failures as well as successes.

Stock Market trading appeals to those who are a little adventurous - rather than just placing their capital into bricks and mortar.

But - be mindful that portfolio values are less stable than real estate as they are continually moving up and down.

However - investing in the Stock Market means that you are putting your money to work - be aware, and enjoy the gains!

every trading site has one or the other facility but what sets som one apart is how much they can deliver at minimum cost.

there is portfoilio management services of various trading sites like sbi,

reliance money super trade and sharekhan.what do you think is better?

it is said that Portfolio Manager will provide audited statement of accounts at the end of

financial year to help the client assess the tax liabilities on his/her portfolio,

including Capital Gains report. (The PMS provider is a trustee acting in a fiduciary

capacity on behalf of the investor. Therefore, the tax liability for a PMS investor would

remain the same as if the investor is accessing the capital market directly.....how far is

this true for my portfolio management?
