For the trader and investor in you: A collection of stocks suitable for trading and investing alike
It is probably times like these, where valuations are high and the desire to trade and invest is also at a peak, one needs to set some rules, both for investing and trading. As a first step, have a well defined set of stocks, where one would invest and trade. So, that one does stray into stocks which are moving up just because there is sunshine all over the street. This might appear conservative to some as it limits the scope but being conservative is a way of bringing in discipline, especially when it comes to trading. So, out of a total universe of more than 3000 stocks, how about having a set of 50 non - nifty stocks which increase the probability of you making money both in volatile and trending markets and also satisfy your desire to be a trader and investor at same time.
More than just an index and it's not Nifty: A collection of stocks suitable for trading and investing alike
Out of 50 stocks, only 5 of them have delivered negative returns in the last one year. Out of these 5 stocks, three stocks belong to one industrial house which faced headwinds early last year. 7 stocks have delivered more than 100 percent return, 4 stocks have gained between 80 to 100 %, 8 stocks have gained between 60 to 80 %, 5 stocks between 40 to 60 %, 12 stocks have gained between 20 to 40% and 9 stocks have gained between 0 to 20%. So, if you have focussed only on these 50 stocks out of a total universe of more than 3000 stocks which are traded, the probability that you would have been able to make money both in volatile and trending markets and also satisfy your desire to be a trader and investor at same time would have been met. The reason why is stocks? Most retail traders have a tendency to trade with bullish bias and prefer taking long positions rather than going short even when markets are not so bullish.
Probability favors them: A set of stocks to fulfill the desire of trader and investor in you
Trading and investing are very different both in terms of skill sets, requirement of capital and finally the returns which one is able to generate from each of them. That is probably the reason that even the most exceptional wealth creators in the world have accepted this fact and stayed with what they are good at, either investing or trading. But the majority of us have this desire to do both trading and investing at the same time. This mixing of both may lead to a situation where either there would be no returns, or sub optima returns. While in the stock market there is nothing called guaranteed but there is a set of stocks which have higher probability to help all those who want to be trader and investor at both the time.
