An Investor should first know how the management of the company is as this is the single most important factor which comes into play for growth of the company.

Investors should not be misguided by the advertisements in newspapers about the company whose IPO is to come as these advertisements show wrong picture of the company, And we cannot trust advertisements in world where print media is on sale and has lost values, Even the best selling English daily in India tops the list of improper and wrongly edited news, To keep a check on these false advertisements by the IPO companies SEBI is going to change guidelines for advertising by companies and this would make sure that the facts shown in advertisement is same as that in Red herring prospectus of the IPO, you can read full post here.

And lastly the most important tip for IPO investing is that you should wait for atleast 3 to 4 days before purchansing the shares as in 3-4 days the hype of IPO created would settle and true picture of interest being shown by investors would be in place.

For Initial Public offering of very large companies it will be a high profile event, which will attract a large number of institutional fund managers as well as smaller private investors to put their money into the IPO Such IPO's follow an upward trends for few sessions until coming back to original levels and even below that, looking at the sentiments, The biggest such IPO failure is ADAG's RNRL which was so much oversubscribed due to the Reliance factor but company could not flourish at all, So one should be very careful, although chances of such huge failures are very less.

Just follow these very basic IPO investing tips if you want to make your investment in IPO's a real profitable one.

The best method is to study the stock you want to purchase, here I provide the methods/strategies to make profitable investment.

Stocks Investing tips - How to choose your broker

Share |

This post is for the beginners of stocks investing.

For starting online trading the first thing one needs is broker, this can be fulfilled by choosing a broker who knows you, or you can go for any of the top brokerage houses, for list of top brokers available click here.
and one should prefer one of these brokers.

Always give preference to online stock trading over telephone trading or some other method of stock trading, The reason for this is simple that online trading has highest transparency, and very minute chances of getting duped by your broker.

For most novice investors, it is much much better to go with beginner-friendly brokers. The brokers geared for professionals offer lower trading fees and some advanced tools, but this will most likely just confuse beginning investors.

However still your mind is the best analyst according to me.

Stock Markets Investing tips -you never knew earlier

Investing in Stock Markets is always considered very difficult job by the people, since it has lots of risk and investing Acumen at stake, One thing is sure that no Stock market investment companies can give gurantee of their investing tips so atlast it comes to ones own self to analyse the market and gain from it.

Always remember no analyst/investment advice company company can give guarantee returns, that is they simply cant work without the disclaimerswhich they attach alongwith their websites or otherwise.

So here are probably 50 best investing tips for a layman who wants to start investing in stock markets without fail...I SAID WITHOUT FAIL !!

1. Do not buy a stock without examining the financial health of the company from atleast last 3-4 years(most of the companies which provide stock advice often donot follow this important tip because it needs lots of analysis and acumen which except Warren buffett no body can provide.

2. Go for a good and professional help so that you can be guided about the market (also check that there are lots of such fake professionals around today so choose a genuine one for investing your hard money(only in case you dont have time for analysis or mental acumen to do so...only if you are a dumb).

3. Never buy a stock without knowing its business and who its competitor is - If the competitor is too big and authoritative(have good political relations) then be away from such small cos.

4. Follow the leaders of an industry so that you can get good knowledge of the market - Examine and analyse functioning of such company from last five years atleast(for a long term investment)

5. Do not guess the futures of Indian stock markets as they are very volatile just have a terrific analysis acumen.

6. Never buy stocks when market indexes are in up-trend because chances of loosing are too high because such trends are often made by brokers but actual fundamentals of that company are too weak.

7. Try to wait until the stock market has clearly turned around. - That wait can be everlasting though due to volatility.

8. Always make your decision to buy the top companies of industries (when their stock is undervalued).

9. Make it a point to buy companies with new products or services (companies which are very innovative in approach) and mind it very few indian cos fall in this list as all are copy cats or inspired by some other company.

10. Make sure that you buy stocks that are expanding in the stock market (this requires analysis of that company from very basic).

11. Try to determine whether large or small caps are favoured in the stock market.

12. The earnings should be growing from last 2-3 years for that company.

13. Try to invest in companies that have high experienced management(because they would know techniques haw to prohibit other cos to come at power).

14. Make decisions after you are fully confident by the findings of your analysis about a company.

15. Do not be impatient(apply wait and analyse philosphy).

16. Be a long time investor for better returns.

17. Go for a good broker (and who can negotiate for commision).

18. Set a strict budget(never go to purchase stocks beyond your financial limits because that can be very devastating).

19. Set your goals.

20. be always optimistic about your approach.

21. Aim higher and i am sure you will achieve it.

22. Try to minimize risk(strong analysis skill required again).

23. Maintain market records - for atleast last three years for the stock in which you want to invest.

24. Do not be greedy.

25. Act wise.

26. Think more.

27. Make a research.

28. Understand the value which a stock can deliver.

29. know about NSE and BSE, and working of stock markets too

30. Buy fixed income securities as these are the best bets.

31. Minimize risk.

32. Try to spend less.

33. Enjoy open communication - on any stock market forum.

34. Keep track of records.

35. Ask for latest updates about your favourite stock.

36. Beware of fraud brokers- mind it their are many on net or outside.

37. Set yourself on win-win situations.

38. have some basic stock investing tips (this post fulfills your this tip).

39. Never average down - mediocre stocks have no life.

40. Pay attention to real estate - but this is highly volatile market.

41. Avoid fraud email links, stock market tricks, websites without disclaimers are fraud for sure.

42. Set your objectives higher.

43. Do not give any credit card details even to the brokers present online (who are not listed on my blog).

44. Never be disappointed - (remember profit and loss are two sides of a coin).

45. Listen to stock news - important if you are going to make short term investment instead of long term.

46. Follow these evergreen investment tips.

47. Consult experienced stock market consultant.

48. Have faith in your hired technical or fundamental analysts (provided he/she high calibre and tremendous analytical skills required for reading face of a company from stock value)
