It is pretty risky to invest in a bear market.
One way you might play it is to sell a put that is well out of the money.
I sold a $ 84 put on SPY for $215. The stock is selling at about $ 95 so the put is so far out of the money it will probably expire worthless and I won't have to buy it back. I put in an order to buy it back at $ 1.05, so that if it drops that much, I will take a smaller, but quicker profit. |

Bear market is the right time for a Long term investor. There shall be a Bull phase certainly in future ( may be two to three years ) since share market trends are cyclic. You can definetly buy selective scrips based on fundamentals rather on technicals. |

If you are a beginner don't invest directly in stocks, invest in mutual funds. because if you make mistake in selecting stocks then you may lose money but mutual funds are managed by highly experienced fund managers and they keep track of the markets. Mutual funds collect money from investors and invest in good stocks based on their knowledge and research. You can research about good MFs at www.valueresearchonline.com or www.moneycontrol.com Since the mkts are currently down this is the best time to invest. |

Buddy, before you begin investing in the stock market you need to know a few things.
To know what an equity share is check: http://anandvijayakumar.blogspot.com/2008/10/equity-shares.html
To know about the two major stock exchanges in India check:
http://anandvijayakumar.blogspot.com/2008/10/stock-exchanges-in-india_22.html
Once you know the basics you are good to start investing.
first you need to come up with an asset allocation pattern. i.e., you need to decide in which segment of companies you would like to invest more. based on the asset allocation, then you need to shortlist the best possible companies that are trading at attractive valuations and the go ahead with buying them.
For eg. a sample asset allocation could be Equity - 70% & Debt - 30%
This asset allocation for equity & debt should be in such a way that the % in debt should be your age and the % in equity should be 100 minus your age. For eg. if your age is 25 then equity should be 75 and debt should be 25%
Equity Split up: (for the 75% that you are going to invest in Equity)
FMCG - 20%
Pharma - 25%
Automobiles - 10%
Banking - 15% etc...
Debt split up: (For the remaining 25%)
Bank FD - 50%
NSC - 25%
PPF = 25%
Important: My friend, do not enter the market if you are expecting short term gains. Given the current economic situation the probability of doing so is very minimal.
Invest for long term... If you buy shares now, plan to hold them for atleast a year or more. In the meantime the market would reach its 20000 levels and you would be sitting on a handsome profit :)
Reg. shares you can buy:
Concentrate only on Large caps. i.e., companies that have established themselves and have been earning successfully for the past few years. Some examples are SBI, HDFC, ICICI, L&T, Infosys, BHEL etc...
Cheers,
Anand

It is good to have acknowledged that you are beginner. So, to start with it would be reasonable on your part to educate yourself with regard to investing in the stock market. We would suggest that you read the following books:
Security Market by Graham & Dodd
The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham
One up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch
Investment Analysis & Portfolio Management by Prasanna Chandra
You may consider doing a search at www.amazon.com for a further selection of suitable books.
If however, you are hell bent on investing your financial resources; we would suggest that you meet a qualified and trustworthy investment advisor/planner.
As far as the stock markets are concerned; they are along with most bluechip and index stocks deeply oversold. And therefore an opportunity to buy. At all times restrict your stock selection to the Top 100 stocks (that is the Nifty and the Nifty Junior).
Before investing you may consider checking the short listed stocks against both fundamental and technical parameters to ensure a fair margin of safety to yourself.
Caution is advised at all times in the stock market.
Sincerely,
Akash

Depends on whether you are a Short Term or Long term investor.
For long term investors, it is a Good time to enter the market.
But for short term ones, it is better to wait for a while.
Infrastructure, Pharma and FMCG can be tried for,at the moment. |
