6 months is not for investing. You need to keep your money at least 2-3 years to invest. So try to accumulate any blue chip stock at market deep. Then take advantage of short period movement. Dont worry, market will give you chance to enter again.
Keep that money locked away. once you are comfortable trading paper money with profits consistently for at least 3-4 months, then we can see about using that 10K.
what ever you do buy only one stock.
Again buy in installments (on dips) and not in one shot.
It is much easier to manage than buying 10 different stock...
IMHO Diversifying hurts more than it helps if you have less than 10lac in capital.
Good luck.
What u can buy with 10000? one\two square feets of plot? hahaha.. funny...
better he should go 4 paper trading which will train him n then invest 10k in actual market
