Investing in Stock Market for Amateur

Systematic Investment Plan

A systematic Investment Plan(S.I.P) is a way to invest regularly in stock market. For Instance you invest Rs 2000 every month for next 2 years irrespective of the stock market movements. If Stock Market moves up then S.I.P plan will keep investing at regular intervals which will help in getting the benefits of it's up move and in the adverse case if Stock Market goes down then S.I.P plan will help you to invest at lower levels providing the benefits in the long term.More importantly you don't need to time the market to make money in the long term.Also you can specify your bank to deduct Rs 2000 every month for next 2-3 years so you don't need to make the transactions manually every month.

The returns of S.I.P for last 20 years is approximately 15% annualized for Indian Stock Market.

For e.g. If you have invested Rs1000 every month for last 20 years then your current account balance is Rs13,00,027 compounded annually which is achieved by investing 1000 * 12 * 20 = Rs240,000.

Advantages of investing through S.I.P is

1.You don't need to time the market.

2. You get the returns comparable to benchmark indices.

3. There is no active participation required in stock market and even then you get all the benefits of it's up move.

Qualcomm Chart

(Click to enlarge)

Useful Term used below -Stop Loss: The point at which I will cut my position is called Stop Loss.

Qualcomm stock is in a range of around 30 to 55 from 5 years.So there is no clear uptrend or downtrend in this stock.

What do I do now?

If I don't hold the stock then:

Stock is in a range of 30 to 56.So I buy the stock at around 30 and sell it around 50.One day it will breakout above 56 or breakdown below 30 which nobody knows and till that that time its best to trade assuming that it will be in range which it is doing for last 5 years.

Note: The day it crosses 56 and stay above that for few days then this stock will be a compelling buy and vice versa.

If I hold the stock:

I would keep a trailing stop loss at the recent support of 42.50 from here on to protect my profits and let the stock move up ward and we follow that.

Note: The Stop losses needs to be updated regularly.
