The only way of making money in stock market is Value investing. I remember when my father open a trading account and he asked me to buy and sell using software for him. he was buying and selling on leverage from tips from his broker, even though investment was pretty small and he made money in beginning but he lost all of it within 2 months. this was around 7–8 years ago. and then comes the Cinderella moment I came to know about Warren buffet.
I read almost every single book on investing and valuations.(please check comment section, I have shared my collection) And reading Berkshire hath way annual meeting letters and transcript. It became my breakfast and dinner, I spend years before I actually invested my first rupee after that.
It wasn't hard for me to gasp that I am not smart enough to time the market, its impossible, and start learning analyzing businesses across NSE. I can say I read more then 500+ annual reports in those years, and I still do, value investing suits me.
In January 2013 I created a portfolio and posted it on forums, where I still write in my free time. I created it to see if I can beat my target of 12% by year end and see see if value investing beat other traders and investors, Traders who buy and sell on swing, or gamble based on hunch and here is the result.
Then another one, its also in public domain. created in January 2014
I unintentionally beat not just all the traders and investors, but also all the Mutual funds and Fund managers in India.
Only advice I would give to new investors is that do not listen to any news, stock tips, fund managers but study, warren buffet has devoted his life in teaching without asking anything is return, his advice are worth billions.
ps. No one can teach someone, how to be a good painter, singer, chess champion, similar value investing came with self practice. If you want to invest into value oriented fund then message me on NINE SIX ZERO ONE FIVE FIVE SEVEN SEVEN FOUR ZERO, I can suggest few good managers.
Happy Investing!!!
