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
