FAVOURITE STOCKS OF MUTUAL FUNDS

Should we invest in stock in these depressing days? For many it is a half filled glass situation rather than half empty. Some investors are just being adventurous and buying anything which is right now less than half of their price in their heydays. Prudent investors are judging what others are buying and why they are buying. And also for how long the prudent investors can stay invested. There are so many factors / parameters to consider before making a decision to invest. But anyway it helps a lot to steer our course if we consider what others are buying. Let’s see what the biggest investors in the market, the mutual funds are staying invested or what their preferred stocks are. I have sourced the data from The Economic Times.

MARKET WISHLIST

It has been a long time since I took a hiatus from blogging. It was a really turbulent period, as the market showed weakness beyond expectation. Small investors are trying to put up a brave face though bleeding inside. The maximum loss was to those who have entered into the arena in recent months.

I am trying to frame a wishlist of mine on the market after I saw an advertisement of an investment farm in a magazine. The punch line of the ad was “Riding out the turbulence. Wealth. What’s it to you?” Certainly an experience co-pilot should be of immense help, it will be the top most point of my wishlist. The co-pilots comes at a cost, small investors can ill effort the hefty amount they charge. The Indian Mutual Trust Industry is a good example. Even with all the good intentions, the regulators are at a loss how to address the issue of protecting the interest of small investors. Still it is better to park some part of our monies in some scheme which offers guaranteed return.

The second point of my wishlist will be to learn from my mistakes I have committed in the past. But, alas, I am a small investor and only a small fraction of small investor has shown this trait so far and I should not be an exception.

The third point I wish that the so called market experts on TV should be able to decipher the signal market is giving. In most cases I have seen these free experts fails in much of a similar fashion of a free iron I got with an annual subscription of a magazine. The TV experts have huge fan followings among the small investors.

In one of my earlier blog I promised to book profit whenever the chance presents itself. I wish I could have learned the trick when to book instead of a simple promise. Profit booking is another wish of mine.

Market maxim says buy, when the market is down. I am hardly left with any monies to buy, and I am not sure to take a loan to buy stocks right now. I wish I have some money to invest.

The wish list can be extended to many more points, probably the market is like our life, good things remains elusive.
