Thread: Stock Market for Beginners

When you have never been into the stock market, you find everything quite confusing and dont know where to start if you want to learn.

So for for beginners or starters who want to know about the stock market and learn the ins and outs, where do you start.

So people who are into the stock market, guide me to where to start from and in what order i should learn things about the stock market, in order to get the right and useful knowledge.

Hi preeti,

Glad to see you interested in Stock market.
ok here are my views

Stock market is a place where you buy and sell the shares of a particular company.

To start with you need to have D-Mat account for this, you can choose any bank's D-Mat account (The commissions of banks will vary so choose the right one ).

Then you need to have a broker who will allow you to buy or sell shares. There are many brokering companies like sharkhan, IndiaBulls, IndiaInfoline etc... you can choose any of the brokers and get an account from them.

Once the account is created there will be 3 ways of trading,
1) Personal or Direct trading
2) Telephone trading
3) Broker trading.

1) Personal or Direct trading : Here you will be provided a software which will communicate with the stock market and give the current share values of the company selected. Using that software itself you can send messages to stock market that you want to buy XXX companies X number of shares. Then the amount of the shares will be deducted from your account instantly. The same for selling also.

2) Telephonic trading : For this you dont need to have a PC or Internet connection, just you call to your broker and tell him to purchase shares and he will d it for you.

3) Broker trading : Here the broker itself will decide which one to buy & sell using your money, only certain percentage of profit will be given to you.

Trading account many have money from 1000 rs to ***** amount. There is no limit of having money here.

Hope it solves your basic needs.

However, if u are venturing into stock market for the first time I would advice u to confine the actual investment to Mutual Funds and ETFs initially and keep watching the movements in actual scrips for some time

I love to read articles that are very interesting especially those topics that are about financial matters, business and stock market conditions. It is good to read those posts for they broaden our knowledge about different issue concerning the business world. Thanks a lot.

I am learnin abt stock market n mutual funds from NSE's website..but very lil' i understood...I think if u want to invest in nearer future...Sip(Systematic investment plan) is the best investment with low risk..n expected return rate high...
As a beginner its better to start investin in mutual funds n equities, ETF's.....n then get into actual stocks, capital markets, derivatives,etc...as u gain confidence.
