Actual Question:

Is it possible to invest in stock market through Zerodha if I have 6 days a week job?

Answer:

Dear Friend!

To me it appears that you want to know whether it is possible to make regular investments having six days a week job.

The answer is a definite yes.

Provided we have a clear understanding of the meaning of the word investing.

Day-trading/ intra-day trading/ margin trading is not investing. In case your query is related to trading in stocks, I say that it is extremely difficult to handle with six days a week job. I go one step further and caution you not to ever indulge in trading either in stocks, commodities or currencies. It is highly risky, dangerous and speculative activity.

In case you are referring to investing in the real sense, that is with an intention of buying securities to take delivery, holding them for a very, very long time, it is very much possible. I do it. Thousands of value investors do it allover the world. You can even place after market orders in the night or early morning, which will get automatically executed during, market hours.

Thank you,

With Best Regards

Anand

Enchanting Encounter With Rustic Beauty - Investing Poem

Enchanting Encounter With Rustic Beauty on an Early Morning Stroll


Along the beautiful tree lined avenues and residences I strode, ruminating spirituality and poetry, amidst peace and bird chirping background.

Upon a sharp turn, afar stood a woman in an Indian suit of black and pink – adjusting her hair standing in a side pose revealing all her attractive angles.

Brief, distant glances exchanged, Sharply she retired homewards, perhaps for a better view from the safety of the curtains?

I passed the house with intent sideways glance to check whether she stood in shade - but continued my stroll back to reflections and bird talk, finding her not to be there.

It was a mere passing scene on a early morning walk – one among many we see that make our lives bright, I thought. I strode on without any expectations – wearing a grateful smile - for the brief colorful sight.

But it was not to be.

On my routine next round, I again find her. This time standing in leisurely conversation with a timeworn woman I had seen trolling before.

A couple of long glances ensued. My heartbeat quickened. The old woman was serious in her advice; perhaps unaware of the real purpose of the discussion. The younger gave two, long, satisfying, glances.

Passing her close by, I aver she is not a conventional beauty, yet rustic and healthy, early in her middles. I am more advanced in time, though endowed with a firm thin frame and a fast gait. Fair in color she was and firm in flesh. Attractive she was in her own native way.

Further reflections focused neither on poetry nor spirituality but on exciting prospects that may lie ahead. I usually make only three, because of the paining knee. Now I extend it to four, expecting to find her in receiving extended guidance.

But I find her not there. Disappointed, I trudge along. Perhaps she has made her assessment. What it is, I can only know tomorrow during the early morning amble.

Alas it will not be. For I have to leave. I don’t live there. I am only on a visit and my next one is due only after a month.

But once, revealed, she cannot escape my pursuit.

For, I am a value investor and she is a stock.

She is strong. She is attractive. She is the share of NMDC Ltd., and I will surely find her and invest in her.

A rustic beauty I discovered, one day - a chance encounter during my early morning walk.

Investing Habit - Clay Film by NSE


Warren Buffett's Best Advice on Successful Investing


Is it Wise to Invest in Stocks Whilst Still Learning?

It is not at all advisable to begin investing in stocks while still learning the tricks of investing. Investing in stocks is a serious business and inadvertent errors could destroy capital and make an investor averse to stocks.

However one can invest in mutual funds and exchange traded funds without hesitation whatsoever, as they are solely meant for people who are not proficient yet in investing independently and directly in shares. One can also subscribe to a systematic investment plan or SIP at any time.

If a person is from a finance background, understands financial statements, and has some prior experience with stock markets, may venture with small amounts after thoroughly understanding the principles described in the article, ‘What are the Factors to be Considered Before Investing in Shares of a Company?’.

But do not ever indulge in day trading or margin trading.

In conclusion, it is inadvisable to start investing in shares and share markets directly without having a firm grip over the subject.
