Hi Anilseth,
30K may look to be small, but not really so.
If you go through the success stories, at least some of them also started with a very small initial capital. Adhearance to strict trading priciples is a must to ensure that you are not wiped out of capital.
Give priority to learning and use the market as a place to test what you have learnt.
As your turnover is going to be small, choose a broker who does not insist on a minimum turnover commitment even if his brokerage is on slightly higher.
Always reduce your risk by investing in around 3 to 5 companies across at least 3 different sectors.
Take tips, but never follow them blindly. Make your own study and if convinced, then only follow them. Lot of information and references are available in this forum. Make the best use of them to improve your skills.
Do not aim to get wonderful results on day one. By such attemps, your risk will be very much higher and you may even be wiped out of capital. As time passes by, you will improve upon performance. But your strategies should be such as to remain in the market till then.
If age is also on your side, you are placed at an advatage.
All the best in learning and in investing.
