Punters or Investors

The recent bloodbath in stock market which drowned retail investor’s hard earned money left them regretting their decisions of entering in this unsure market. It’s a nightmarish experience for newbies and discouraging for other onlookers who kept on watching the curves of indices to find a suitable entry time. Now all of them are giving a second thought of coming back into the market again or need to stay away from this perilous web. Understanding the stock market is not as simple as people think and being credulous to stock market rumors could be fatal to one’s financial health. Sometimes the market seems to be so generous but at times it can ruthlessly axe your fiscal dreams. A shrewd warrior always keeps him equipped before going in for the battle and so should Investors do by keeping them aware of fair and foul practices of stock market. For the past three years Indian stock market has been luring common man to at least get a taste of it. People accepted the invitation, came in, and made lots of easy money. They seemed elated until the market is not crashed and soon after the historical shredding in the Stock Market they started crying foul over SEBI and Finmin. The fact is that the true investors who put in their money for long term (at lest for 12 month) did not loose anything, only the speculators in the guise of investors born the brunt of the frantic downfall. If you are a patient investor and come into the market with a longer vision you need not to worry and be invested irrespective of fluttering curves of indices.
