Long term Investment in Share Market:-
For
getting success in share market, you should always go for long term investment
plan. Always invest in share market for holding the shares from 3-5 years and
even long. More the patience more return you will get. People generally shy
away from stock market as there is risk associated with stocks movements.
People generally enter into market when market is at peak and so as the stocks
and sell them when they were at all times low.
There
are following tips for long term investment is share market. I have personally
12 years of experience of investment in share market. Where I had seen share
market both bull and bear phase. But always patience pays.
1.
Invest in good stocks:-
Always
invest in good quality stocks. Always check balance sheet of stocks before
investment, check past performance of stocks before investment. Check investors
in stock market, if there are large investment of foreign investors then stock
perform very will and also if promoters of company had good chunk of
shareholding then investor confidence get increased.
Always
try to find out good profit making companies. It is hard to find these stocks
but through research will get you these stocks.
2.
Diversify your portfolio:-
While
doing investment in share market, always diversify your portfolio means you
can’t put all your money on one stock or one sector. Select 4-5 stocks from
different segments such as FMCG, Pharma, Banking, Cement, Capital goods etc. Diversified
portfolio provides a good hedging in bad environment.
3. Don’t add too many
shares:-
Always
add few but quality stocks into your portfolio don’t just add multiple stocks,
as tracking of so many stocks may be become difficult , also you may garner
true profit from a particular segment.
4.
Find stocks with rich cash flow and Low debt:-
Check
for stocks which had very low or zero debt. Check for cash flow of company and profit
margin. Also check for inventory levels of company. If a company is having very
high debt then all profit earned get eaten away by interest against debt. In
current scenario there are so many companies which very high debt which leads
to bad health of financial statements. Cash rich companies always yield healthy
return to investors.
5.
Check for dividend yield of companies:-
While
checking balance sheets one most important aspect which must be taken care is
dividend yield of the company. A consistent dividend yield will always help to
garner more profit from share. A good dividend yield reflects profit making of
the company. But sometimes high dividend yield may not reflect stock actual
performance e.g. in PSU stocks there are always high dividend yield but stock
performance largely subdued due to various subsidies and policies. So do
through research will be required to select these stocks.
Also
divided yield earned from stocks is tax free. So that will add you to your
income.
6.
Set Realistic Goal:-
Always
set a goal at which you may exit the company. Although it is always recommended
to hold the stocks for longer period but exiting the stock at set goal. But
setting a realistic goal is always recommended. Always set a realistic goal
such as 20-50% return but unrealistic goals leads to test your patience.
7.
Track your stocks:-
Buying
stocks and keeping them at side will not serve your purpose. Keep a track on
invested stocks as fortune of the company may get changed at any moment. Always
set alerts for your stocks. There are so many apps which will keep an eye on
your stocks. There are moments when there are bad or good news for the company
but keeping patience and eye on stock development will help to get more out of
stock.
If
there were moments when stock fundamentals get changed and bad news company then don’t hesitate to book losses also as
otherwise whole investment may get eaten away.
8.
Keep Patience:-
Investing
required lot of patience. More patience you have more you get. There is phase
in market when stocks doesn’t perform at all and remains in a range. So at that
time people general have tendency to sell the stocks but people which have gone
that phase will get a very handful return.
