Keeping this in mind, the central government has decided to increase the current rate to 5 million vaccines nearly in a day over the next month. It will be a welcoming move in controlling the fear of the second move.
The central government has further decided to involve the private sector in India’s vaccination efforts which in turn bring back the positive sentiments in the stock market. As per the sources of NITI aayog, the details of private privatization in the vaccine drive will be made available soon to buoy the market.
According to the experts, the rise in COVID 19 cases is not a uniform spread in the whole country as it can be the outcome of different testing protocols across the country. Also, it's not clear whether the rising cases of COVID 19 is the beginning of a second wave or not.
A Flitch reporting report has said the decline in the economic activities in the UK and France during the fourth quarter of 2020, were quite less, even though there were lockdowns there. India’s economy and the Indian’s stock market can take an idea from this report.
Even after the COVID 19, the stock market is likely to react positively and bounce back from Monday’s close on the back of private sector involvement in vaccinations, better containment of cases and other major factors such as sustained FII inflows, central bank interventions and more.
Stock trading can be both exciting and intimidating. For many, the thought of putting hard-earned money into the stock market brings up fears—fear of losing money, fear of making the wrong decisions, and fear of the unknown. However, overcoming these fears is crucial for anyone looking to succeed in trading. Sometimes even experienced investors can become scared of putting their money in the stock market. Their bad decisions regarding stock trading, emotions and inconsistency are some of the situations that go out of their control.
The most reliable solution to conquer fear is “exposure”. For instance, when someone is afraid of swimming, the best possible way to overcome that fear is to face them. Exposure lets you achieve the goal that once you were scared of. Although it is not as easy as it seems to be, it’s worth trying.
Here’s a simple guide to help you manage and overcome fear in stock trading.
Knowledge is power. One of the main reasons people fear stock trading is because they don't fully understand how it works. By educating yourself about the basics of the stock market, how different types of stocks work, and the factors that influence stock prices, you can gain the confidence needed to make educated decisions.
It's normal to feel anxious about trading when large sums of money are at stake. To reduce this, start with a small investment. By investing a smaller amount, you reduce the pressure and potential stress.
A well-thought-out trading plan can be your best friend in the stock market. It helps you stay focused and avoid making impulsive decisions driven by fear.
Diversification means spreading your investments across different types of assets to reduce risk. This strategy can help ease the fear of losing everything if one stock performs poorly.
Fear is a natural emotion, but it can lead to poor decision-making in trading. Learning to manage your emotions is key to overcoming fear.
No trader wins all the time. Losses are a natural part of the stock trading journey, and accepting this fact can help you manage fear.
Keeping up with market news is important, but too much information can lead to confusion and fear.
It’s important to set realistic expectations for your trading activities. Expecting to become a millionaire overnight is unrealistic and can lead to unnecessary stress.
If you’re still feeling unsure, seeking advice from a financial advisor or a mentor who has experience in stock trading can be beneficial.
Maintaining a trading journal where you record your trades, the reasons behind them, and your emotions at the time can be incredibly helpful.
Overcoming fear in stock trading is a journey, but with the right strategies, you can turn that fear into confidence. By educating yourself, starting small, having a plan, diversifying your portfolio, managing emotions, accepting losses, staying updated, setting realistic expectations, seeking professional advice, and keeping a trading journal, you can approach the stock market with a calm and focused mindset. Remember, fear is natural, but it doesn’t have to control your trading decisions.

A Demat account is simply a dematerialized account in which you hold a variety of investment securities such as shares, bonds, government securities, equity shares and more. The account is known as dematerialized because all the securities are placed in a dematerialized form.
Opening a Demat account is a must if you want to trade in securities in the stock market. This is because Demat accounts allow you to hold, buy and sell securities within a single account.
Opening a Demat account is important as it provides a digitally secure and convenient way of holding securities and shares instead of a physical one.
