Thank you for the question, Ma'am, just like you we are all new to this ever changing dynamic market, but initially i would strongly recommend Index Stocks - meaning stocks listed in Nifty 50 or BSE 30 stick to fundamentally strong companies, these companies are highly stable even if the storm of the market is in the opposite direction. 2. Know everything about the company, even if you are an owner of 1 share or 1000 shares, you need to know where has your money gone in "gold or in drain". 3. I would like to inform you that specifically the Indian Stock Market is highly emotional sentimental, meaning - if their is a sudden news of Arundhatti Bhattacharya resigning from SBI, i bet the entire market might go down nearly by 0.5% in one session, even thought it has a long term effect. so be aware about the emotional sentiment attached to the market. 4. lastly ma'am, i would recommend you to stay with fundamentally strong companies - they might help you for long term financial planning but to get a zist of the market or say know the real insiders' market be a technical expert (short term gainer). 5. Please do SIP for high returns and avoid undue risk in equities and mutual funds, Systematic Investment Planning is similiar to Mutual Funds but with high returns Year On Year. sorry for a late reply! thank you, Raj Goratela
