When it comes to Stock Market Investments you must understand your risk tolerance
limit so that you will not exceed that limit.
The simplest definition of risk tolerance is “ How much risk your mind willing to take
regarding your investments, loses, and emotional balance”. Risk doesn’t only mean
financial risk but also the mental risk as well.
You must always remember that you are earning to live, you are not living to earn.
One of the biggest challenges faced by stock investors is “understanding of their risk
tolerance limit”. You must shape your investment portfolio based on your level of risk
tolerance where you will feel comfortable.
For those whose risk tolerance levels are too low, they need to restrain from the high
risk-high returns investment options such as equity investments, and they can go with
debt-based investments which are comparatively less risky.

being able to control one’s emotions and think logically. There will be a lot of
fluctuations that you are going to experience when you start investing in stock markets.

This will happen in stock markets very commonly because companies will release their
results now and then. If the majority of people feel bad about a company then its stocks
will fall and if the majority feel good about a companies results then the stock price will
go up.
Essentially all these short term fluctuations are happening because of people’s
subjective thinking, most of the time this will be wrong. So people are losing money
often who follow these trends.
A person who feels negative about a company is represented by a “Bear” and a person
who feels Positive about a company is represented by a “Bull”. During market hours
there will be a battle happening between Bulls and Bears which will result in how the
prices fluctuate during market hours.
There will be lots of other reasons for these Fluctuations those are as follows:
Speculations, Rumors If a big face in the market sells off all his shares in a particular
company that will show a huge effect on that company as well.
You must be stayed protected emotionally from all these negative short term things by
keeping your calm and focus on your decisions only. Trust only reliable sources in the
market and take decisions only by logical thinking. You must also know how to analyze
a company’s future possibilities.
All the above steps are regarding the precautions and prerequisites that you must take
or know before you start investing in Stock Markets. From this step onwards we are

investing in Mutual Funds, ETF’s in the beginning and then move on to your Stock
markets.
Here you need not worry regarding the Diversification of your funds. So that you can get
on your life normally.
While investing in Mutual Funds do research on particular fund companies and analyze
them with your knowledge that you gathered till now. You must choose a good fund
manager to invest in Mutual Funds.
Stock market index means the top-performing companies in the particular stock
exchange, these are all high revenue companies so that the loose or profit of these
companies will reflect on the entire market value.
Index funds are also stock traded funds and you need stock market knowledge for these
investments as well but these are not as risky as to invest in Individual non-index funds.
1900 companies are listed I Index stocks in New York Stock Exchange. These 1900
stocks are known as Index fund of the New York Stock Exchange. These stocks will
determine the performance of the NYSE. In the Bombay Stock Exchange(BSE) 30
companies are listed in an index fund and 50 Companies are listed on National Stock
Exchange. That’s why it is called as NIFTY50.
Index funds are highly secured and less likely to get loses and if you get profits also
those are in very small amounts compared to other individual stocks.
This strategy will also work for ETFs and Individual Stocks But while investing in Index
funds you must follow this strategy because the stock values in index funds always are
at high amounts.
As you are very new to the stock market investments it is suggestible to start with Robot
advisors. These tools use computer algorithms to suggests their clients a better portfolio
combination. This will decrease the risk of investing in individual stocks.
You can instruct your fund, Risk tolerance to the Advisor ad it will do the rest of all for
you. Usually in Exchange Traded funds, You don’t get to chose individual funds so
these tools come to help you do that. As ETFs are less risky there is no reason not to

will be a better choice. Here you will get chose where to invest and no one will interfere
with your decisions but you have to make sure your decisions are logical, Mathematical.

A Portfolio is a basket where you will put all different kinds of stock or normal
investments. Building a diversified portfolio is a must for you to achieve more and lose
less. It is not at all important how much good companies you are investing your money
is in but it is important that how much diversified all your investments are.
This is of course for a simple reason if you ever lost your profits by 40% of your
investments at least you will be left with another 60% profit-making investments. This
will save you from losing your entire principal. People who don’t know how to build a
portfolio will eventually be going to lose money, and this is happening in stock markets.
You must avoid borrowing money for investing in stock markets. Stock markets are an
extremely uncertain investment option there are a lot of improbabilities in day to day
prices so borrowing money for investing in short time investments is a bad decision.
If you decided to buy 100 shares of any company with $100 then your brokerage firm
will offer you $50 of loan where you need to pay a reasonable interest rate. After you
traded the money let’s say your share value increased 100% and you got a profit of
100% now from the $200 of your income you will pay $50 + interest to your borrower
and you will then left with $130 which s still 260% profit for your original investment.
This will all sound great when you get profits in one day try to think of the other side of
the coin where you will lose your principle.
So don’t try to borrow money to invest at least when you don’t have enough experience
in doing so. This will make you suffer badly.
This will buy a lot of your time and distract your concentration from investing in a good
investment option. You must concentrate on investing in a good investment option
rather than following the concept of “Buy low, sell high”.
So many people in the investors' community have lost their money by following this
concept. This doesn’t mean they lost their principle, but they lost their scope of getting
more profits than what they got.
Let me explain:
Imagine that you are following this “Buy Low and Sell High” concept. Usually, this
concept will be followed in day trading where you will think what you are seeing now is
high but it is not. As you don’t invest your time to calculate the possibilities of a
particular share. It is quite possible that after you sell the stock value will skyrocket so
you will lose the chance of getting more profit. It is also quite possible that you will lose
your money because when you buy a stock that would not be the lowest price point.
It is always suggestible to invest some time in analyzing the companies prospects and
possibilities, to invest. Always follow your set of rules and make sure to listen to your
trusted monitors.
Always try to have some realistic expectations. Having goals is a must for an investor
but having them to be realistic is essential. Otherwise, you may lose fortunes in the
journey.
Having a good investment discipline is a must, A lot of successful investors in the stock
markets also distracted out of their disciplined approach and panicked but came to
conscious very quickly which saved them a lot of times. Doing good research, having
realistic expectations and holding on to your guts will pay you off at least in the long run
You must know what are the factors that will affect stock markets heavily then only you
will pay attention to important events all across the world. According to this knowledge,
you can immediately take your investment decisions wisely.
