What You Must Know Before You Invest in Indian Equities Next time?

Greetings From Hitesh !! Thanks for your excellent response to my all time hit email…. “what you must know before you invest in Gold Next time?” Many of you have suggested to write my views on Indian equities. However, rather than telling you straight way….I have decided to deal this issue with series of questions. Let us start with basic question first…..

1. Do you really want to make investments in Equities?

90% of the investors I know invest with a desire to make fast money. They do it with their 1%-15% of capital….with an attitude…..if they lose they are not bothered and if they gain….they will spend money for enjoyment.

You need serious commitment to the fine art of investments. Mere desire to invest will not lead you anywhere. You must be ready to learn it, spend time experimenting with your learning before you play big. Observing what is working and what is not working? You must change your strategy accordingly.

Now, you say….you have a commitment…..what next?

2. Should You Invest in Indian Equities?

I think India as a country has two basic advantages…..

A. Well defined democratic constitution. We have fairly qualified people running the show of the country. This is the biggest plus point….as an investor you are in safe land.

B. Our economic growth for the last 31 years has been at 6.5%.....this is approximately double than the world growth rate of 3.8%. This gives you natural advantage to grow your money at double the speed compared to other countries.

Now, you say….you agree with above…..what next?

3. Is it a right time to Invest?

From our study we are convinced that market will surely touch 35000 before Nov., 2014. We have shared the same with you all in our past emails. This is a golden opportunity to apply the fundamental law of investments…… “Buy when others sell”.

Now, you ask….should I go and invest now? No. You need two more answers before that.

4. How Should You Invest?

You need well defined strategy and action plan before you invest. This should be based on your fund flow projections, family commitments, age group and over all risk appetite. You need to have ready action plan for various kinds of situations in the market and flexibility to change, if at all you go wrong.

In my experience, I have seen in-flexibility as the most responsible factor for frustrating experiences of normal investor.

5. Where to Invest?

After strategy, this is the second important question. Here you should invest in those companies only…..which meets your strategic requirements.

Do you remember what Steve Job has taught us….

“Focus on those opportunities only which is in line with your behavior, psychology and your core believes or change them to suit the investment opportunities.”

Now, you may ask….. “Hitesh, I am fully convinced with step number 1 to 3, but I am busy in my work….I have no time to form and follow through the strategy. Moreover, I do not understand the investment as a subject in great details. What Should I do?”

I know you have a genuine problem and I have a solution for that also. My suggestion is that you join my investment advisory firm Destiny Management services.
