Investment & savings are two topics which we never learn in school or any college, what we learn is how to get a job. Yes after getting a job, we actually focus on purchasing new things, accessories, parties, etc but we never give a single thought to save a single penny for our future. And this is actually happening with every person at an early age but yes we all bring in it later on after we understand its importance.
Approx at age of 23-24 we entered into the job and simple human tendency is to first enjoy the time being earnings and savings can be done later, yes the basic reason is lack of proper financial planning which make our investments delay. So what can be done? A question arises in the mind of every individual when they face any uncertain situation. It's not so hard to invest what all is required is a mindset of doing it so.
It is a simple way of investing a fixed amount regularly with discipline irrespective of the stock market hours. It is a recurring deposit in mutual funds.
A very basic instrument in which investment can be done is the Mutual Fund. One can allocate 10 to 20 % of salary in its initial stage for start investing, Yes for starting up mutual funds SIP are the best route and it's not required to go with a huge sum one can proceed it with a small sum of Rs.500/-, yes this is correct seems easy.
Actually when we all move out with friends & family spending a huge sum on a normal dinner in the restaurant seems very low, though it cost more.
The investment amount is small: SIP investment requires a very small sum of Rs. 500/- which actually doesn't create any sort of burden on any individual earnings. Even many funds offer a minimum sum of Rs. 100/- too.
SIP is the best way to start investing regularly as it takes one-time registration with help of ECS funds will be directly debited from a bank account
SIP is a kind of investment deducted on a fixed date every month from your bank account. It's actually like depositing regular installments for our future benefits.
An individual can increase the number of SIPs or can increase the amount as per his/her convenience, It actually depends upon the goal of an investor.
SIP is a route of indirect investment in the equity market via a route of mutual funds, we all know equity markets are very volatile in nature on day to day basis but it gives the best return in the long term horizon. As in long term, we receive the benefit of rupee cost averaging.
We are aware of the market it is volatile in nature which sometimes leads to a fall in stock prices also, in a similar manner NAV of funds also falls in continuation of SIP it is more beneficial because in this case buying is done with a low price compare to the previous month.
Once a person hears the word dividend he simply understands it to be a profit or a reward, but why a company does profit sharing with its customers. Here are the answers:
A dividend is cash or reward which is given, for delivering returns to the equity shareholders, on the capital invested by them in the business. It is often a part of the profit that the company shares with its shareholders.
A company uses dividend policy to structure its dividend payout to the shareholders. Dividend decisions refer to the decision-making mechanism of the management to declare the dividends.
These are the major reasons as to why do we need dividend policy.
1. Maximize the shareholder’s wealth
The company’s ultimate objective is to maximize the shareholder’s wealth. The shareholders invest in the company and the company should pay them in such a manner that they further continue to invest.
2. Fulfilling the financial needs of the company
If the shareholders continue to invest in the company, the company would have enough money to sustain in the competitive market.
There does not exist a single dividend decision factor that can work for every organization.
Cash dividend
A dividend which is paid out in cash. It will reduce the cash reserves of a company.
Bonus shares
Bonus shares are the shares in the company which are distributed to shareholders at no cost. It is not done in the place of cash dividend but in addition to a cash dividend.
Well, there are two approaches to the same:
Stable Dividend Policy
The company decides to pay periodically a fixed amount of dividend to the shareholders. Even when the company incurs loss or generates high profit, there is no change in the dividend paid.
Regular Dividend Policy
A certain percentage of the company’s profit is allowed as dividends to the shareholders. When the gain is high, the shareholders’ earnings will also rise and vice-versa.
Irregular Dividend Policy
The company may or may not pay dividends to the shareholders. As per their priorities, the top management i.e., the board of directors solely take all dividend decisions.
No Dividend Policy
The company has no intention of declaring any dividends to its shareholders. The company always retain its profits to fund further projects.
When the company is at the initial stage and it earns little profit, then it should give lower dividends to the shareholders.
When the company is growing it should provide a dividend to the shareholders in a proportionate manner.
When the company can survive in the market, it should provide a stable dividend to its shareholders.
If the company is paying dividends regularly, there is a pressure for maintaining the stability in the dividend payout. If it does not pay dividends even for one year and retains the funds for capital investment then it may prove hazardous for the company.
In cases of the company which has no stability in dividend policies, when the company does declare a dividend, the share prices will rise before the ex-dividend date. On dividend declaration more and more people invest by buying its shares, these shares are then sold. This is then followed by a fall in the share prices. It would result in great volatility.
A company’s dividend decisions and policy depict its future and financial well-being. Dividend payout policies are considered to be a bridge between the company and shareholders for profit-sharing. It would be difficult for investors to know the intentions of the management if the management does not have a sound dividend policy.
The dividend policies of an organization also result in a significant bearing on the market value of stocks, it also impacts the valuation of the company. Hence, it needs to be systematically framed and implemented.
Nifty hits new all-time high of oddest number 13579 with positive closing for the sixth consecutive week.
As we said earlier that we are in a roaring bull market because of Nifty and Sensex both end with a weekly gain for the sixth consecutive week whereas they hit a new all-time high for the fifth consecutive week. Nifty hits a new high of 13579 which is the oddest number in the oddest year which has an even number 2020 while Sensex hits an all-time high of 46309. At the end of the week, they both ended with a gain of around 2%.
If we talk about last week hero then it was the FMCG sector which ends with a gain of more than 6% in the leadership of heavyweights ITC and HUL.
Foreign Institutional Investors remain on the driver’s seat where they bought around 16719cr in the cash market last week while DIIs are still in the mood of selling as they sold around 12434 Cr in the cash market.
If we talk about F&O data then FIIs long exposure in index future stands at 77% which was the same as last week but it is still a little elevated level. PCR ratio stands at 1.55 mark which is a comfortable level.
Technical charts say that Nifty is in strong bullish momentum but last week's high of 13579 is a critical number as per Gann's theory, therefore, we could see some resistance at this point while above the 13579 levels, 13689/13770 will be the next target levels for the Nifty. On the downside, 13400-13300 is an immediate demand zone while 13150-12950 is a critical demand zone because below the 12950 levels, we can expect any trend reversal.
If we talk about Bank nifty then it is also showing decent strength where 30800-31000 is an immediate supply zone; above this, 31500/32000 will be the next resistance levels. On the downside, 30200-29800 will be an immediate demand zone while 29000-28500 will be the critical demand zone.
Equity investment is one of the most important investment avenues for investors as it always gives multiple returns in a long duration. But yes the major question is how can we select that stock, just by hearing the name only, Is that enough? Probably not, but you try to understand the basic structure of the company can surely benefit.
Every investor tries to invest in those companies which are having a long record of performance along with high trust value. Because it's business it may run long or can collapse soon. So while investing in equities there lies a risk of investment also, which actually makes Indian investors stay away from the equity asset class. And Investors shift themself towards other instruments like FD, Bonds Gold, etc which are having criteria of fixed return which many investors enjoy.
It's been always a big question to identify a good stock as there are more than 6000+ companies listed on the exchange and it's not easy to track each company from an investment perspective. As all it takes a long time just to understand about the company better one should the basic approach to understand it.
Before proceeding towards investment in any stock we should first select the sector in which we want to invest, Selection of the sector actually depends upon the understanding of the business model of the company so that investor should relate it with the current market condition. In the stock market, it's better to go with the flow instead of going against the flow.
Once the sector selection process is done. We must look into the business of a selected company, what kind of business the company is doing will it be suitable for the long-term, how its revenue generated, the impact of government policy etc, these all things actually play a vital role while selecting any stock.
Warren Buffett Quoted once – "I look for integrity, energy, and intelligence in management."
Management is considered as the backbone of the company, A fair management always gives a clear outlook of the business as well as present a fair image of the company. One should look at what kind of management is in the company is it Professional management or Family management. Professional management is more favorable while selecting any stock.
Investment is actually a game of numbers along with facts & figures, Companies showing consistent growth with positive returns are always considered more favorable, Though the business is not the same all-time some times its profit some times its loss, So investors actually show faith in those companies who are consistent in the market from a long run.
With the help of certain financial statements like P&L, Balance Sheet one can actually look into the company performance, though it's not easy for everyone to read the financial statements one can take the help of certain financial websites available for it.
We all know that trading in the stock market is not so easy as it considered orally, for daily trading in you need to track the market on all basis especially those are indulge in Day Trading / Intraday Trading, Before we proceed lets clear the concept of Intraday Trading:-
“A person or individual who is engaged in purchasing or selling of stocks within the same day is Intraday Trading “
But how can we do it? Is still a question mark for many. For this just follow a very simple top-down approach to understand how the market can behave for the very next day.
For a trader, it is very important to know the next day market for which need to look not only the domestic ques but the global outlook is also very important as the Indian market is on its developing stages.
For an everyday trader, it is essential to know about the global ques along with domestic market So a trader first need to check out the Closing of “US & Europe Market”.
After this, we should check the Opening of Asian Market, whatever happened overnight in US & Europe market will make an impact on the opening of the Asian market.
Once Asian market opened its important for Indian traders to check the opening of SGX NIFTY, it acts as an opening indicator for the Indian market, it also takes the cues from another market ( US & Europe Impact on Asian Market) which leads to indicate the opening of the Indian market.
At last, a trader should check the impact of any News or Data which can create an impact on market should be tracked prior, Impact of any Micro or Macroeconomic news should be considered while one is tracking the market because it may give impact on the same day or can affect later on.
Once a trader is clear about the opening of market the second most important work is to track the stock for trading, No one can directly jump and purchase any stock after just hearing the name though many newcomers do that only as they are not aware of the process.
Points to Remember while Day Trading:-
Volume plays a vital role while you trade in the market so a beginner its better to trade only in liquid stocks or in blue chips & always follow proper research and self-study before taking any trade. The market is inherently volatile in nature you cannot blame anyone for your loss.
One should always be aware of market updates as it actually impacts on the performance of that particular sector/stock.
Many often if you are not clear about the market condition, avoid taking any trades into the market because it's better to sit without trade rather then booking an unnecessary loss.
