What is your profession?

[Swift]

for real??

I don't believe a certificate is a guarantee to a wise man. Educated is the one who learns and is curious, not the one who has a certificate to his name.

BTW, you should complete your school.

So True sir

I learnt Chemistry as major and the taught chemistry. Then learnt Software languages and DBMS myself, Have worked TOP Consulting company as Software analyst then US's Number two Investment Management Company and now working with worlds leading software and technology company (fortune 500) as Business Analyst in Financial services vertical.

Certificates do help but main thing is your eagerness to learn.

Now can you guide me what is equity,mutual funds,future & options,IPOs and commodity.

Equity are regular stocks that we buy.

Mutual Funds are a better option for you. In Mutual funds, we invest in a company, which in turn invests our money into a set of 20-40 stocks selected by economic experts. Since the portfolio is diversified, the chances of loss are low, but so are the chances of profit. You can expect 20-30% annual return on these without doing anything ina a normal market.

Future & Options are a little advanced for you, but once you get comfortable with equity, you can move to futures.

IPOs are Issue Public Offer. When a company is not listed on the exchange, ie it has not launched its shares, it can launch shares through IPO. In IPO, a company launches its shares into the market a a fixed price and we can apply for those. Usually, on the day of listing one can expect returns from 10-20%, ie within a month.

Commodity is investing into gold, silver, pulses, vegetables, metals etc.

I second Jagjit.

If you are not savvy go for mutual funds that too diversified one's. If possible go for SIP's (investing small sums every month) rather than one time , Its a great risk covering method. and have minimum 3 - 5 yrs horizon. happy Investing.

wow..thats great!!
u see there are so many shares, i always have had problem chosing which one to observe...
plus something about indices??can consider me a naive!

rather than choosing a stock, one should select a sector, for eg: IT, automobile, metals, oil, infra, pharma etc.

Then it becomes easier to select a stock since the choices reduce. Selecting a heavyweight stock is a wise choice. Heavyweight stocks are less volatile. Heavyweights are those stocks which affect the market, are owned by millions, and have huge revenues.

Stocks are arranged in indices like small-cap, mid-cap, pharma etc. They are just classifications and just fancy names to confuse new people.

So equity and Stocks are two names for same thing right?

Mutual Funds.Well i want active participation.I mean it's not that i would succeed but i just want to participate.

IPOs.Hmm well that good.

Well the most thing that fascinates me is commodity.Can you tell me more about it?

And one more thing as Zaki said what about investing in American Markets.

I suspected these forums were teeming with kids...little did I know they were actually toddlers!

I'm a geezer by your standards. I am applying mathematics to cancer research and life is a case of gahé giryam gahé khandam...mostly giryam! Take my advice - when you hear words like postgrad research and academia, run!


Interesting reflection on work ehtic on this thread - almost every Indian who's posted thus far appears to be a computer guy unabashedly employing precious corporate bandwith for the uncomparably edifying end of...recreation!

@IndianArmy, sir my belated welcome, pros are never in ample supply. Hope you can teach us a few things.

yaar - i have tried to find such a software myself but i don't think there is any such software available for KSE.

If you ever find - let me know also

and this is one of my favourite forex broker so i thought it would be a good idea if you try a demo account to be familiar with how this system works. If you cannot afford 1000USD+ at least you can go for mini-account

Try this FXCM Mini Account also known as Microlot account

http://www.forexmicrolot.com/ FXCM offers mini-accounts that is 10x smaller than this Standard account. If you invest like 25 dollars you can start trading and 100 dollars i would say is more than enough for trading in mini-account

Indians may register on moneycontrol.com and learn the nature of stock exchange in India. It's a virtual game, you'll be provided with a minimum amount (virtual) and then the user is supposed to buy and sell stocks. The wires are virtual but the companies listed are for real and the game goes on at real stock rates.

I am a financial analyst but most of my work is on NASDAQ and that too for a single company. I settle, cancel, match, post trades for someone we all know..

I deal in mutual funds, derivatives, collateral, income, equity etc... Though I love reconciling. Lockheed trades are mostly derivatives.
