Happy New Year

At the start of a new year, I have decided to jump into the world of Equity investing.

Am a complete novice in this field.

So all the experts in here please guide me on how to go about investing in Equity

Thanks

 

Congrats for start on auspicious day. I suggest slow and steady steps because initial experience is vital for long term success. If you have good experience in beginning you will stay for long term if you have bad experience you will be scared. So start SIP in top quality mix cap fund like HDFC Top 200 or many others. Keep expectations low. If you get 15% to 18% you should be v. happy because it is tax free and higher (double) than bank/ FD returns. Meanwhile keep eye on market and study stocks which are talked about. After 6 month or 1 year there will be developed confidence and then you can also try direct investment in stocks instead/ in addition of SIP. You can see that even senior members like @kharb are even now investing in mutual funds and many of them for diversification in addition to direct investment in stocks. So mutual fund is best place and way to start journey into equities for beginner. Good luck

Dear Joker,

Welcome to the world of share market.

Below are the points that I think important for a starter like you.
-Invest in knowledge before investing in stocks.
-Learn the basics by reading books (Fundamental Analysis or Technical Analysis Books). I suggest Fundamental Analysis.
-Start with Large Caps only (not mid cap or small cap as they are more risky).
-Don't trade/ invest on Tips or News.
-Investing is very easy, don't get confused with difficult terminology.
-Put very less amount in the equity market and have atleast 10 stocks in your portfolio.
-Don't expect that you can make money on borrowed knowledge.
