DO NOT LET YOUR EMOTIONS CONTROL YOUR INVESTMENT DECISIONS

 

Gone are those days where investors used to buy a stock and sit tight for 5 to 10 years. Old investment decisions with  saggy advisors are thing of past. Stock markets have evolved a lot in last decade and it is not like buy and forget now. Present time, Buy a stock, keep reviewing it, Book profit and exit on time.

Do not let your emotions control your investment decisions and do not love or hate any stock. 

Today I was reading one story on Facebook and wanted to share it with new investors.

A person retired from my 35 years Services in 2006 and received Rs. 60 Lakhs from my Company towards consolidated Retirement benefits.

That was the time when he came in contact with a Leading Share broker and Investment Advisor.

Influenced by his LONG TERM VALUE INVESTING THEORY IN GREAT STOCKS OF EQUITY MARKETS, then sit tight, forget the investments for a few years – to SEE THE REAL GROWTH, he made an ” S.I.P. type ” buying in the Shares of following BLUE CHIP Companies, investing Rs.10 Lakhs in EACH Stock as and when recommended.. (total savings INVESTED Rs.80 Lakhs).

1. Year 2007 : RELIANCE COMMUNICATIONS @ Rs.730.00 a share.

“Reason” given: Largest investor/ fastest growing in the Telecom Sector.

2. Year 2008 : VIDEOCON @ Rs. 755.00 a Share.

“Reason” Largest Player in Electronics with their TV and other Products finding a place in most of The Indian Homes and tremendous Growth Potential of Consumer Goods.

3. Year 2009: JP ASSOCIATES @ Rs. 260 .00 a Share.

“Reason”: fastest growing

The company in Cement, Power and Infrastructure – all key growth drivers in India.

Also, the Chairman Mr.Jp Gaur getting the Prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award by ET and E & Y.

4. Year 2010-11: JINDAL STEEL & POWER

@ Rs. 3200/= a Share.

The Investment firm said the NAME of MR.NAVIN JINDAL, MP, as the sole reason for this most profitable Steel giant to maintain FUTURE VALUE CREATION.

As I was not getting the desired results, I changed my INVESTMENT ADVISOR in 2012 and on his Recommendations,

further invested for LONG TERM in the following Shares (in S.l.P. style to prevent any risk) with the assurance of Earlier LOSSES being covered adequately by New buying.

5. Year 2011-12: UNITECH LTD. @ 105 .00

REASON: not only one of the biggest builder, but

Leading Investment Firms rated this Company as the FASTEST / LARGEST WEALTH CREATOR.

6. Year 2013: Dr.REDDY

@ Rs. 3380.00

Reason: in PHARMA name required no reason

7. Year 2014 -15 :

i) LUPIN @ 1700/-

ii) SUN PHARMA @ Rs.1175/-

Reason: LUPIN being the fastest growing PHARMA Company in developed Countries like USA and JAPAN while SUN PHARMA needed no introduction.

The CEO of Sun Pharma Mr.D.Sanghwi was reported as occupying the position of “RICHEST

INDIAN” by replacing Mr.Mukesh Ambani to 2nd Position.

Today, the value a Share of these TOP and ONCE MOST RESPECTED Companies are :

Reliance Communication @ Rs. 13/-,

Videocon @ Rs. 13/-

Jp Associates @ Rs. 18/-

Jindal @ Rs. 172/-

Unitech @ Rs. 6.30/-

Dr.Reddy’s @ Rs. 2285/-

Lupin@ Rs. 832/- and

Sun Pharma @Rs. 549/- .”

This story of LONG TERM INVESTING(10 years) only shows that ” Share Markets are full of RISK, No Company is SAFE and Losses can eat ANY RECOMMENDATION.”

THE GENTLEMAN, today 70 years of age, also warned that ” it was his GREED combined with his Broker’s ADVICE only, that restricted him selling shares at some reasonable rates in ANTICIPATION of Future upward corrections.”

In conclusion one can only say the GURU MANTRA ” don’t keep all the Eggs in One Basket” and also the Fact that

” RETURN OF MONEY IS ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT THAN RETURN ON MONEY”.

BITTER TRUTH ABOUT STOCK MARKET

Bitter truth about Stock Market

I am sure, you have listened or read about making money from the stock market but very rarely you must have read or discussed how one’s wealth is destroyed by it. In fact, if you bet on any stock without knowing the anything about the company and its fundamentals then there are good chances of your wealth getting destroyed. Today, we will focus on some of the bitter truth about stock market.

Analyst on TV keeps talking about big ace investors like Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Porinju V Veliyath etc. They will tell how much wealth these ace investors have created in a decade. But today I want to show you if one is not diligent and up to date with the market scenario he/she can lose all its money, instead of creating wealth for future.

Read: Why long-term investing creates wealth?

Let us see some prime example in Indian scenario where investors have lost close to 80 to 95% of their invested money.

1. Suzlon Energy Ltd

Suzlon energy

Over the last decade, from the peak of 395 to 15-20 level, Investors have lost 95% of their money in this share. The primary reasons for its fall are poor management practices including huge debt on books, low promoter holding, negative cash flow over a long time.

2. Unitech Limited 

unitech

From the highest level of 500, it presently trades at mere 7 Rs. Investors have lost close to around 98% of their wealth. The company was very popular in the real estate construction sector. The main reason for their downfall is huge debt on their books, lawsuit against management, extended project deadlines etc.

In future, there is no sign of any recovery of even half of the topmost level for this stock.

3. Jaiprakash Associates Ltd

Jaiprakash associate


This stock was daring of stock market and a decade ago, everyone wanted to own it because of its diversified businesses. A big conglomerate in Infrastructure, Cement and Power sector.

Investors have lost close to 93% of their total wealth.

4. Reliance Power Ltd

R power


This company had a very ambitious plan in power sector but failed to capitalize its power business. This company’s huge IPO went to a whopping subscription of 73 times and still, it comes under one of the top 10 IPO in Indian stock market history. During its grand IPO company raised close to 11,863 Cr of money from the public.

Now, Investors have lost around 87% of their total money in this share.

5.  Reliance Communication

rcom


In the last 9 year investors has lost 97% of their wealth in RCOM. This company also has the same story behind its losing market capitalization. It has huge debt on books and promoters have pledged some of their holdings.

There is no ray of hope for all these fallen stocks. They will never be going to recover their investor’s money. If you stay with these fallen rocks you will stay forever waiting for these rocks to move. Therefore, Investors should always be careful while investing and be in touch with current economic and political scenarios which can effects business to a large extent.
