Hi Everyone,
I have finally decided to take the plunge, and invest in the market. These are really basic questions i have, and would be extremely grateful to anyone who can enlighten me.
My basic trading pattern would be very simple, buy shares in big-ish companies, on a long term basis. My initial plan was to buy some shares in something like Indian oil without any plan of selling it for the next few years at least.
Which demat account and broker i should go through?
I spoke to a guy at an Angel Broking franchisee and he told me that if i sold the share more than a year after i bought it, I wouldn't be legible to pay income tax on the amount i earn in the market, is that true?
Brokerage is 50p per 100rs traded. (is this ok?)
Another seemingly stupid question, but something that's been worrying me. given the current financial situation in our country, what if the company i hold my demat account with shuts? Do i stand to lose my shares
and ofcourse, any other tips would be very welcome!
Best Regards
Chris
