| SIP - A Reality Check : Series 2 |
| 2008-07-01 23:24:00 |
Last Time we did a fair bit of number crunching to find that SIP is not a Magic Tool after allSo this is time to find out if SIP's not such a great tool -- then why are people recommending it, one thing u and me hav to accept is they are recommending and not investing so there's no monetary loss from them. SIP is being projected as the next big thing for responsibility like saving ur money regularly in the bank, so the commonman falls for some thing which is similar but not same."Bad Street Boys" :: So enthused by the new work that i found out other than makkhiya marna. I called up the neat guy (ideal for corporate hoardings) and enquired about SIP. The bloke told me all that usual stuff. Then after he talked a lot I offered him a cuppa Coffee and slowly I asked him the deta...

I challenge you to defend the valuations of those companies thataccount for the largest holdings in the most prominent mutual fundsin this country. You may tell me "they are great companies." That isone of the biggest misconceptions in this business. With all due respect to Warren Buffet, this business is not about investing in greatcompanies; it's about profiting from inefficiently priced stocks.

| STUART WALTON : Interview |
| 2008-06-29 13:02:00 |
How do you sell?You need to find out what the customer wants and package your salespitch—not the product—accordingly.What did the customer want?Instant gratification, excitement, sizzle, the comfort of knowing that lots of other people were buying the same stock, and a million reasonswhy the stock would go up.So you tried to make the stock sound as good as possible withoutany qualifications?Absolutely. That's what all stockbrokers do. Weren't you troubled by making something uncertain soundcertain?Sure, but it wasn't exactly lying, because I had no idea whether thestock would go up or not. It was, however, a huge embellishment. After a while, I just couldn't hack it anymore.

| 8 reasons why stock market traders lose money |
| 2008-06-29 12:03:00 |
Many people think trading is the simplest way of making money in the stock market. Far from it; I believe it is the easiest way of losing money. There is an old Wall Street adage, that "the easiest way of making a small fortune in the markets is having a large fortune." I discuss below eight ways of undisciplined trading which lead to losses. Guard against them, or the market will wipe you out. I am qualified to speak on this subject because I was myself an undisciplined trader for a long time and the market hammered me into line and forced me to change my approach. 1. Trading during the first half-hour of the session The first half-hour of the trading day is driven by emotion, affected b...

SirMy account number is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The account is being held at Shapur Nagar, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. I have opened Account on 24-08-2002. Since the day I opened the Account the service has been highly pathetic I had two Fixed Deposits also with this Account. I have requested for Loan many a time on these Fixed Deposits the reply was that the loan is to be processed from MUMBAI so that the loan could not be processed. As I know the process of giving out loans on F.D.'s I wondered whether the staff are ill equipped or were they not ready to serve the customers. After few enquiries and making him aware that I had little knowledge about banks (my father was an Co-Operative Bank Manager) he scumbed to pressure and said that there were no adequate staff hence the loans could not b...
