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.
