There is no easy money in stock market


It’s really worrisome to know that many people are coming in the stock market for short term trading after this bull market rally. Came across many young minds who are ignoring their core competency and focusing on trading.

Don’t extrapolate post-corona market returns. This was aberration, abnormal, unusual. Its impossible to earn similar returns every year.

Focus on your core competency and career. Trading will ruin both your career and wealth

Music doesn’t last long. Invest in building your core competencies like programming skills or engineering skills. That will only help you in long run

I am very bullish on India but trading is not the way to play the India growth story. Only Investing can create serious wealth in long run.

Many are using weekly options and other derivatives instruments to make windfall profits. This is gamble. It can’t generate wealth on sustainable basis. One wrong trade can take away profits of 10 right trades.

Most of these new guys have not seen a bear market.

My humble request to all these new traders, please don’t sacrifice your jobs and core competency for stock market trading.

Stock market is an amazing place to create wealth by investing for long term. But If it’s used in a wrong way then history has examples of people

who lost everything in the market.

One cannot be billionaire by speculating. There is no trader name in the top 100 richest people in the world or in Forbes list. Intelligence is learning from others mistakes, learning from our own mistakes can be costly and time consuming.

Sorry for writing such a long thread but it was disheartening to see many people trying for easy money and I am personally concerned for thier mental and financial health.

There is no easy money in stock market, people who have earned the wealth have slogged a lot.

Please sharpen your investing skills rather than trying your luck in trading…

Over $1 Billion of Mutual Fund Inflows Is Flooding Into India’s Market Monthly

(Bloomberg) -- The record run in India’s equity market is finding strong support from retail mutual fund investors, who are pumping more than a billion dollars a month into stock plans.

Inflows into mutual funds from regular contributions through systematic investment plans, or SIPs, hit an all-time high of 103.5 billion rupees ($1.4 billion) in September, according to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India.

Asset managers collected 82.8 billion rupees in 13 new funds launched in September as rising stocks boost the appeal of equity investments for individuals versus low-yielding bank deposits. An unprecedented 2.7 million new accounts were registered in September.

The record-high participation via SIPs underscores a “structural trend of savings shifting to equities,” Gaurav Patankar, head of emerging-market equity strategy at Bloomberg Intelligence, wrote in a note. The surge in these flows, along with strong local institutional buying, is helping in “mitigating volatility from foreign outflows,” he wrote.

India’s benchmark NSE Nifty 50 Index has gained nearly 30% this year and is the best performer among major equity markets in the Asia Pacific. Policy rates at a record low and ample liquidity are protecting the downside, while a ramp up in vaccinations and a revival of consumer demand are improving earnings prospects for companies.


India’s Stock Market on Track to Overtake U.K.’s in Value

India’s equity market is on the cusp of overtaking that of the U.K. in value to join the world’s top-five club, at least by one measure. The likely feat comes as record-low interest rates and a retail-investing boom propel stocks in the former British colony to record highs.

India’s market capitalization has surged 37% this year to $3.46 trillion, according to an index compiled by Bloomberg, representing the combined value of companies with a primary listing there. That’s closing in on the U.K., which has seen an increase of about 9% to $3.59 trillion, though the number is much larger if secondary listings and depositary receipts are included.
