It's an unfortunate fact that few investors can consistently beat the market. That's because it often takes one or more of the following rare traits...

1)The vision to identify breakthrough products, leaders, and brands

2)The knowledge to spot an undervalued gem in a sea of glass

3)The courage to buy and hold when others are running scared

Occasionally, you'll come across an investor with one of these valuable characteristics. And it's likely that person does quite well. But almost no one I know of can offer all three. That would take two very different possibly even fiercely competitive approaches...

Do we have such indian stocks to match above three factors?
which are they? now in 2006 which stocks qualify?
please think about it and share your views

thanks in advance

It is an interesting read..... but what are the probabilities of a hit?? Would you agree that making money (if that is the objective; but then, can there be a more noble one to be in the markets at all?). Value picking can at best be a leisure or for posterity. To make money consistently, the charts are the best..... arithmetic should rule and probability of each call should favour us.

Your views pls

Hi,

I agree with the three traits given in rvlv's post for a super-investor. In my humble opinion I would like to add the 4th one also ...

4) The courage to not get depressed when everyone around him is making money and he is not (the investor is not envious).

Someone once said "Envy is mother of all sins"...

And as far as indian markets go, there are a lot of oppurtunities. I am new to investing and learning the ropes and yet I can find some hidden gems. Again you need lots of patience and practise and rewards might not commensurate with efforts...

Finally I disagree to the people giving tips and taking tips ...

Plenty MICRO TECH, ELECTROTHERM are 2 that come to mind. But how many will have the guts to hold onto them seeing them fall 40-50% in a deep correction (in this ocean of intraday traders)??

There you go!

What underlies every chart, every quote? - A COMPANY. Buy into that company my friend, where you find some value, not just some figures & pictures.
Warren Buffet doesn't ever needs charts he buy & holds onto a stock as long as he finds value in it. (And finding value is not bereft of arithmetic but it's a different kind of arithmetic).

That's INVESTING. What you're talking of is TRADING.

Kalyan.

What ineffable twaddle!

Good/Great investors are not looking to beat the market.The good ones dont even care about the market averages.At most it is one of the variables one accounts for and nothing more than that.If one knows the value of something that one is invested in, fear/courage are never involved.

Motley Fool and their bullshit, one of the biggest pools of amateurs, wannabes and fools at one place.
