Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental analysis in a stock market is analyzing the business health, management of a company

There are two analytical models in analyzing a Stock:

  • Fundamental analysis is where markets may mispriced a certain security in the short run, but later it would come back to its value and this short run is been taken advantage.
  • Technical Analysis is where the movement of a stock is been reflected in its stock price. The price for which people buy in lots and the price for which people sell in lots the way in which a stock would flow.

Mutual Fund Investments or Unit Trusts

Mutual Fund Investments or Unit Trusts

If you are new to investments I would suggest you to get started through Mutual Fund wherein the risk is much less compared to Stock Market its mainly because it is being managed by professional Fund managers who do their best to manage your investments.

Massachussets Investors Trust now known as MFS Investment Mangement was the first Mutual fund founded in 1924.

Mutual Fund is basically where money from all the investors are made into a pool and then been managed by Fund Managers. There are a lot of companies and Banks which offer Mutual Funds in India. The buying of Mutual Fund will include a small percentage as brokerage. Mutual Fund is basically meant to hold the fund for atleast two years. Even most of the Mutual Fund will have a two year of locking period within which you cannot sell your Mutual Fund.

Types of Mutual Funds:

Exchange Traded Fund

Equity Funds

Open ended Fund

Bonds Fund

Money Market Funds

Funds of Fund

Hedge Funds

Realestate Investment Trust

Realestate Investment Trust

Real Estate Investment Trust or REIT is similar to a equity, But in Real Estate Investment Trust or REIT the investors money is been invested into the Real Estate and the investors gains benefit through the dividends this is good mostly for a long term investor wherein the investors get much more profit than the normal bank It is said that in Bursa Malaysian market around 90% of the profit has to be returned to the investors as dividends. It is based on the structure of the Mutual Fund Marketting.

Difference between a REIT and a Mutual Fund

  • A REIT allows the investor to select its own company and invest in it whereas in Mutual Fund the selection lays in the hands of Mutual Fund Manager
  • A REIT is more liquid than a Mutual fund.
  • The person can buy any amount of REIT stocks and the buying price and there is no minimal amount for investing whereas for Mutual Fund there is a Minimal Amount and some times even a locking period.

Future of REIT

Since the realestate sector is booming in all around the world so is the profit got from the Real Estate sector is also more. Investing in REITS provides much more profit than the money just been kept in the bank for its gowth.

Which Stocks to Buy.

Market might correct (fall) from here a bit more. But for a short term (2-3 months) target it would be good if you invest in those stocks that have corrected a lot in this times correction. I prefer you to buy Suzlon to make fast money which has been fallen from 94 to the current price of 72. If not Suzlon, Unitech is also a good bet. Unitech has fallen from 89 levels. RCF is accepted to come down to 90 and then move up. For a short term Buy any of Railways a week or two before the Railway Budget.

Now its time for those who are bearish, market might see levels of 4200 sooner.

What does Averaging basically mean in a stock market?

What does Averaging basically mean in a stock market?

Averaging is nothing but buying a stock at different rates so that the average price becomes the value of the stock. It is basically done when the investor is not sure of what would be the future of the stock whether it is increasing in price or decreasing in price.

For example: the investor has brought the stock at $100 and the current price in the market is $75. since the stock is in a loss and the investor doesn’t want to loose his money and is also believes that stock would come up in price in future hence he buys the stock at $75 so that the average buying price would much lesser than $100.

In other words if 100 stocks are brought at $100 so the amount invested would be 10000 and if the stock has lowered in price and the current market price is $75 then the total value of stock currently would be 7500 , now if the investor goes for averaging say investor has brought another 100 stocks at current market price then the current investment would be 7500, and the total investment would be 17000 with the total current value being 15000. then the average price would be 87.5 per share.

It is basically calculated by total monthly invested divided by total number of share. In the above case the total investment is 17500 with number of price being 100+100=200 so 17500 / 200 = 87.5

Advance-Decline ration: It is also known as advanced decline ratio. This ratio is used to find whether market is in bullish trend or in the bearish trend, in other words whether the market is in advacing or declining. It is found by dividing the total number of advanced shares to the total number of declined shares. For instance: there are a total of 10000 stocks listed in the market of them 800 advances and 200 declines then the Advance Decline ratio would be 4 and since the ratio.
