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

How Can I Recover from Daily Trading Loss?

Actual Question:

I am continuously losing 3000 daily in trading. How I should recover from that?


Answer:

Dear Friend
Quit Immediately!
Forget about whatever you have lost.
Please do not expect to recover the trading losses. I have seen speculators doubling the bets to recover past losses and sink even more rapidly into losses.
Make a fresh beginning with value investing which is true investing.
Buy yourself a copy of every true investor’s bible, “The Intelligent Investor” by Benjamin Graham.

Take a solemn vow that you will never again indulge in trading/ margin trading, which are highly dangerous.
You look quite young from your photograph. So let me assure you that by following a slow but sure path of value investing you can certainly achieve significant investing success.
