my motivation in stock trading

i accidently ventured into stock market
in 2003 september.

at that time
i knew nothing about it.

i was a total stranger to it.

it was more of gambling to me.

i had fractured my left foot
and was confined to my home
for around one and a half months.

i had nothing else to do
so i downloaded
all the material i could
from the internet
related to stock trading.

i took out the printout of all that material
as i have always been more comfortable reading from paper
than from the screen.

i also remember
that the printout ran into more than 200 pages
it became almost like a text book.

i still remember i had crammed almost everything in there.
dow theory seemed so fascinating!

now when i look back
i shiver to recall
how useful as well as how useless
all that theory was.

the above statement might seem paradoxical but isn't.
it is a stark reality!

all the theory was useful
because it taught me the sintax and rules and basics.

but all that was useful
from today's context
because operators use
that very knowledge
to deceive everyone.

first they make us learn all that
and then don't play with those rules!

everything is there in the theory
except the tricks operators play.

if you know the theory
you know it and yet you know nothing.

and if you know the things they never tell you
(because they never know it
or because they can never know it, as it keeps changing)
you have some hope.

but for that
you have to know the basics.

anyhow,
coming back to those times
i want to share the watershed moment
when i finally decided
that i wanted to go for it
a full fledged plunge into stock trading.

two thoughts sealed my decision

one,
i realized
that the price could either go up
or down!
there was no third direction.
price couldn't come out of screen or paper.
it had to move in 2d and not 3d!

this resulted into my favourite stock market line
and my motivation

"The market will either go up or go down. So, there is always 50% chance of winning. All you need to do is try and increase that %age with technical indicators and market understanding."

after this i never looked back.

whenever in doubt or pain

i just looked at these lines...

--

and then came my second favourite line which fuelled my effortslike jet fuel

"The stakes of cracking the code of success in stock market are mind boggling!"

total time and money freedom.....

it would be like getting back your life

real life!!!

thereafter,
many hurdles and setbacks appeared
but i survived all of them.

all these memories
popped in my head today
when i read the following quotation today
in
'1001 motivational quotes for success'
by Thomas J. Vilord
"In every problem there is a hidden treasure inside.It's your job to find it."

A blessing for the educated unemployed,underemployed & the exploited...

There are millions who are educated but unemployed!

There are millions who are underemployed their entire lives!

There are millions who are underpaid and harrassed!

Business is not in everyone's comfort zone or reach.

Also, just imagine the capital required for even small businesses!

Self-employment is nothing less frustrating than a business!

This causes great stress levels which gets rubbed off in the families and the country.

The divide between the have's and have not's is getting wider!

People are living miserable lives for lack of good financial position.

When every other avenue seems like a dream or stroke of misfortune, stock trading appears like God's blessing!

Do it anywhere, anytime.

No qualification-bar, no age-sex-caste-region-IQ-class-familybackground-race bar!!!

Anyone can do it if he/she has around 20000/- capital, a demat account and a net-ready PC.

All this requires less than 40000/-.

(mini-nifty requires around 10000/- margin to trade 1,00,000 in nifty. Rest 10000 is for back-up buffer. And around 20000/- for a net-ready PC. )

A 1,00,000/- nifty trade can yield 500*20=10000/- returns

in a trading month of 20 days @0.5% per day average!)

Do it full time, part time, spare time!

All you need to achieve this is

A COMMANDO TRAINING IN TRADING BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY TRADE WITH PRECIOUS MONEY U HAVE.

A SMALL STEP BY YOU CAN TURN OUT TO BE A GIANT LEAP TO FREEDOM.

OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

Why is Stock Trading the best business in the world?

for the following reasons..........

1) anytime, flexible timing (no 9-6 job, no 6am-10pm business complusions)

2) from anywhere (can even trade from mt.everest or from antartica)

3) no or minimal investment (a pc with internet connectivity, a demat account and a good head)

4) minimal amount to start (Can buy even a single stock; even for a tea and samosa stall u need a shop etc worth a few lac rupees; for other businesses u need a crore or more with no guarantee of profits and recovery of investment)

5) no office / shop / infra / furniture / ACs etc.(just need enough space to place ur bum or plant ur 2 feet, how many other businesses permit u that luxury?)

6) no employees - not even a chawkidar or a sweeper...no salaries...no labour law hassles

7) no overheads - like electricity, water and phone bills, rent, transportation etc.

8) no stocks, no stockyard, no deadstock

9) no sales tax / excise tax etc. headaches

10) no account keeping (ur brokerage does it for u)

11) no inspector/permit hassles

12) no boss

13) no tension of getting out of job, being sacked, recession

14) no "buri nazar" and "hafta" (always out of public glare, unless u have a habit of flaunting money and its side-effects)

15) one of the best returns on investment (many getting 10-15% per month or even more)

16) can pack up ur bag and retire at any time if u wish (how many other businesses allow u to wind up? it is said that - u don't own a business - the business owns u - and won't leave u that easily)

17) national development; people participate by contributing towards new startups which generate employment, yield tax, earn foreign currency, generate weakth and bring social prosperity.

and last, but not the least...

18) no customers....!!!
