OPPurtunity cost / loss in equity markets.

every long term investor come across oppurtunity loss/cost in the long term. what is your experience?

 

Now it is reverse. I wish I had not invested. And kept money in fd. There is huge loss from being 100% invested. I invested 100% out of fear of opportunity loss.

 

Market is now for trader , not for investor.You invest and book profit in regular interval.Else, some China/Greece/USFDA/FED/RBI/company promoter etc will just attack any day either full market or your invested stock and your full profit will vanish.You may even come to loss also.Tough in this market that you just invest and forget for two years.

 

sroutaji it happens to every investor . nothing new.

 

@kharb ji @RAMA MURTHY SASTRY CHALLA ji views expected.

 

In my experience i found some reasons behind " Opportunity Loss " , it is basically depend on 5 issues ...

1.Required Capital
2.Market Strategies and Planning
3.Risk Apattite
4.Investor /Trader Psychology (Emotions , ex: Greed , Panic , Confusion etc... )
5.Market Timing

Risk and Reward is proportionate
basically stock market is related to " High Risk Vs High Reward "
bank or Postal deposits are " low Risk Vs Low Return "

First we have to take planning for trading or Investment ...

Your Bus Miss in the stock market is no problem
but if we take Wrong Bus means we will face Trouble.....

If you miss opportunity means Timing problem or Discipline Problem or Financial planning problem
for that you have to check your basic Discipline qualities

If you enter into a wrong bus or entirely low risk reward investment avenue and miss good opportunity
means "Risk Appetite problem " and psychology (emotions) problem

 

rama ji if there any stock you regret for not buying?

 

Yes , " satyam comupers " stock after listing i suggested one of my family friend and at that time per share Rs. 12.50 only purchased 1000 shares for my family friend and i have give it share certificate with transfer forms at that time .... and i want to purchase 100 share for my long term investment , at that time i have only Rs. 700 in my hand i asked remaining amount to my father and he irritated and stop buying shares and prepare for your Examinations he said ...i stop buying this stock and after my examinations it went to Rs .23 , at that time i am having Rs. 1500 and price was went to 23 , i wait for Rs. 15 to buy but it went up and up , my leave it that stock it was out of my hands , my family friends earned a lot and he transferred to some other place and they even not informed me their ware about , but it is worth of 10 Cr. above value 1000 shares ....
if i bought that 100 shares satyam i would have 1 cr. worth ....

 

that was a real story of regret. sir if you had 1 cr you would have made many other successful investments also that would have changed your life.
but still you are a successful investor with many successful investments to your credit.
investors like rakesh jhunjhunwala never invested in IT stocks and thus he missed all biggest multibaggers. but still he is the most successful investor in india.
sir which year ur family friend bought satyam shares at 12.5?

 

i dont remember exact date but in 1992 -1993 year at my B.com second year or final year

 

oh thats 23 yrs ago. sir satyam was a once in a life time oppurtunity. i think such oppurtunity will only be one. but still we can be successful if we are disciplned.
that was a real inspiring story of starting investing early in your college days.
my regret is not started investing early. i started it only two yrs back.
sir so when did you started investing for yourself?

 

Sashtriji, will it be unfair to ask for your long term core holding with the buying price and date of purchase with the thought involved in specific selection? I am sure it will be educating for us,being small laymen investors.

 

@ Shakti Khanduri sir, long time , how are you sir ?

no , satyam computers chairman Rama lingara jaju is from my district and my nearest town Bimavaram , and also computers field is start developing at that time in india , so i am very much interested in new sector , but at that time i am not having much knowledge about multi baggier stocks ... but i tried some lock also .....

i learned from that is " adequate capital and market timing also required for sucess in stock market with good investment strategy , and knowledge also "

 

@Sashtriji( at our place this term means the learned person) sir, my query is still unanswered.Kindly share some investment wisdom gained from long experience , deep knowledge of fundamental and technical aspects.It is a sincere requst .Regards.

 

Sir , My Total Investment experience is

1. Select stock with good Fundamentals
2. Buy with margin of safety
3. Do not invest total in a single day
4.Profit Booking is more important
5.If you miss right train don't worry , don't enter in to a wrong Train or wrong stock
6. with out stop loss don't trade
7. Trade or investment plan is vital for sucess
8. Do not follow Tips or TV Business channels
9. Do not wait for very long term investment
10.Invest for below 5 years only
11.Try to find medium term time frame Multi Baggier stocks
12.Do not neglect Technical Analysis
13.If you think several times before buy a stock for investment or Trade , after buy sit tight
14.after Bought if you think it is a big mistake , so not wait for a single second and dont try to manage for recovery from loss , immediate exit from loss and accept loss
15.Try to know your Risk Appetite first
16.Financial Discipline is vital for sucess
17.Portfolio Should maintain below 25 stocks
18.In Portfolio major portion should contain with large cap stocks after that prefer Mid cap stocks , last small portion allocate to small cap stocks , with small cap and mid cap try for multibaggier stocks sucess

these are all essence of my total 30 years Stock Market Experience ......


ALL THE BEST SIR
