Url Fetch Error And Real-Time Market Data For Indian Retail Investors

If you are one of them who doesn't follow the stock market or stock trading much, GameStop is the name that could be heard in the past week. If you are keeping an eye on the news, you may have heard about Gamestop and how its stock price rose?

This is because the gaming and game device company, which was valued at 3.25$ per stock a year ago, saw its stock market rise by 8000 percent within 6 months. On January 26, 2021, the stock closed at $145.60, then increased to $345 the next day, peaking at $469.42 on 28 January 2021. But where did it all start?

Read the Full Story Here:

GameStop is a gaming company that specializes in the trading of game and game devices. So how did a struggling company with an old-fashioned business model suddenly become a hot topic about stocks?

The primary reason behind the sudden shine of GameStop is r/wallstreetbets, a subreddit on an internet forum called Reddit who was responsible to raise the stock price by 1700 per cent.

Swastika explains how GameStop is grabbing all the attention of all the investors.

What is GameStop?

GameStop is a brick and mortar company, specializing in trading of games and game devices. Before making a high buzz on everyone’s Tweet feeds, over the last few days, GameStop has had a poor record since 2017.

Furthermore, the retailer company also has hit the news for all the wrong reasons. In 2017, it came into limelight because of its Circle of Life policy. Circle of Life is a rating system that GameStop uses to convince customers to buy games, trade old ones and ensure that the money that customers get back goes towards buying more pre-owned games.

Employees were given scores to represent how they fared and anyone with low scores would likely find their job on the line.

Wallstreetbets Vs Wall Street Traders -

Before we take dig deep into GameStop’s stock, there is some lingo which would probably help to familiarize the GameStop controversy.

Day Trading:

Day trading refers to the buying and selling of stocks multiple times during the day. The primary goal is here, to make small incremental profits that add up as they trade. As you might have guessed, day trading is quite risky and is used by a lot of scam artists.

Short Selling:

Short selling is the process of selling stock and buys back the stock to return it to the lender. Short sellers are betting that the stock they sell will drop in price. For example - Company A’s stock is trading at Rs 250 and you know that after some time, the shares of a particular stock will fall. For instance, it will fall to Rs 150.

Suppose you sell a share worth Rs 250 at the market price and after a while, you may notice that the price drops to Rs 150. Now you can buy that stock at the lowered stock. Now, you return the share to the broker at the lowered price. As you sold the first share at Rs 250 and bought the same share at Rs 150 before returning to the broker, you are left with Rs 100 as a profit.

Hedge Funds:

Hedge Funds are a group of investors usually controlled by a money manager. These hedge funds are designed to make profits by short selling stocks on falling stocks. A big hedge fund has a pool of investment money which allows investors to invest aggressively and make complex investments for a bigger payout.

Till 2019, the stocks of the GameStop had been continuously falling. Reddit users heavily noticed about the heavily short hedge funds selling the stock, particularly the $13 billion hedge fund Melvin Capital.

In mid-2019, a Reddit user named (Roaring Kitty) posted that it had made an investment of $53,000 in the GameStop. Though the post didn't receive any intentions then, however, the users frequently tweeted about the GameStop investment and retail store.

Last week, the news came into the limelight and the retail store caught the attention of many young online traders. This in result, the share price rose to unwarranted levels.

According to the source, short-sellers lost an estimated $23.6 billion on GameStop. Melvin Capital lost 30 per cent of the $ 12.5 billion it invested in managing shorted stocks.

Concerning the whole situation, Wall Street demanded that short selling be made illegal, even though it is majorly used by the traders. To stop further stock crashes, many popular trading apps such as Robinhood stopped the purchase of Gamestop stock on their stocks.

Eyeing the brand recognization and their focus on healthcare products we may see some attraction in the IPO. The innovation of products along with the enhancement of technology would be interesting to see in the near future. One should continuously look at the margins of the company in the next few quarters. Looking at short business history, inconsistent margins, and high debt on books. We assign an "AVOID" rating for the NURECA LIMITED IPO.

Investing in the stock market has long been a popular way for individuals to grow their wealth. While it comes with its risks, the potential rewards can be significant, making it an attractive option for both new and seasoned investors. In this blog, we'll explore the advantages of investing in stock trading in simple language, helping you understand why so many people choose this path to achieve their financial goals.

1. Potential for High Returns

One of the biggest advantages of investing in the stock market is the potential for high returns. Over time, stocks have historically outperformed other types of investments, such as bonds or savings accounts. While not every stock will be a winner, with careful research and smart investing strategies, you can achieve significant growth in your investment portfolio.

2. Ownership in Companies

When you buy a stock, you're purchasing a small piece of a company. This means that as a shareholder, you have partial ownership in the company and can benefit from its success. If the company performs well, the value of your shares can increase, and you may also receive dividends, which are a portion of the company's profits paid out to shareholders.

3. Liquidity

Stocks are considered liquid assets, which means they can be easily bought and sold in the stock market. This provides investors with the flexibility to enter and exit investments relatively quickly. If you need access to your money, you can sell your stocks and typically receive the funds within a few days.

4. Diversification Opportunities

The stock market offers a wide range of investment opportunities across different sectors and industries. This allows you to diversify your investment portfolio, which can help reduce risk. By spreading your investments across various companies and industries, you're less likely to be severely impacted by the poor performance of a single stock.

5. Income Through Dividends

Many companies pay dividends to their shareholders, providing a source of regular income. While not all stocks pay dividends, those that do can offer a steady stream of income, which can be particularly appealing for retirees or investors looking for a passive income stream. Dividends can also be reinvested to purchase more shares, potentially increasing your overall returns over time.

6. Inflation Hedge

Inflation erodes the purchasing power of money over time, but investing in stocks can help protect against inflation. As companies raise prices to keep up with inflation, their earnings—and by extension, their stock prices—can increase. This means that the value of your investments may grow alongside or even outpace inflation, helping to preserve your wealth.

7. Participation in Economic Growth

When you invest in stocks, you're essentially betting on the growth of the economy. As the economy expands, companies typically experience higher profits, which can lead to increased stock prices. By investing in the stock market, you can benefit from the overall growth of the economy.

8. Learning and Personal Growth

Investing in the stock market requires you to stay informed about financial markets, economic trends, and company performance. This can lead to a greater understanding of how businesses operate and how global events impact economies. The knowledge and experience gained from stock trading can be valuable not just for your investments but also for making informed financial decisions in other areas of your life.

9. Flexibility and Control

Unlike some other investments, stock trading gives you direct control over your investment decisions. You can choose which companies to invest in, how much to invest, and when to buy or sell. This level of control allows you to tailor your investment strategy to your specific goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.

Conclusion

Investing in stock trading offers numerous advantages, from the potential for high returns to the ability to diversify your portfolio and generate passive income through dividends. While it does come with risks, the flexibility, liquidity, and opportunities for learning and growth make it a compelling option for those looking to build wealth over time. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting, understanding these advantages can help you make informed decisions and take full advantage of the stock market's potential.
