    What to consider before you invest?

    Author: susanta; Filed under: Finance & Investment; Tagged as: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

    An investment plan must be rolled out with three distinct factors in mind- Return, Risk and Liquidity. There is no investment without risk. The degree of return is measured by its risk. People seeking higher return in an investment must have higher risk appetite too. An investment is not possible without some degree of risk involved. The more you expect to draw, the more you need to put in at stake. Liquidity is one of the most crucial features of any investment. Though, it’s not important to withdraw money before a fund matures completely. Nevertheless, liquidity eases things out for an investor in case urgent cash is required.

    If you keep the liquidity factor in consideration, savings is the safest investment. The return and risk is not high. However, saving is very liquid, which allows you to withdraw money anytime you need it.

    Another investment to bank on would be house and other building such as storehouse. It can offer you high return and comparatively less risk. Every year the cost of the building normally increase. Nevertheless, it’s not a liquid investment as you are unable to get the return immediately.

    Stock investments are for investors who really wish to expand their wings in terms of earning money. Trading in stock market can sell your stock as soon as in an hour and sometimes in a minute and you earn immediately after selling it. Stock trading fulfills both the criterion of good liquidity and high return perfectly. Of course, the risk involved can’t be overlooked.

    Lastly, diversification is the best way to allocate your funds. Putting all your funds in one sector would have bigger prospects of loss and no profit. On the other side, dividing funds into different sectors and companies increases profit prospects. Prudence should accompany you throughout!

    Life is stranger, murkier and more irrational than fiction. This is the conclusion I made after hearing of the suicides by a few who lost money in the markets. For all the markets may be worth they definitely are not worth losing one’s sanity or life. Markets play on one’s emotions all right, but to let it affect so much as to make one take his life is alarming. My heart goes out for the family of the victims. May God give them the fortitude to bear this tragic loss.

    Suicidal Crash

    Suicide is essentially an irrational response to an unpleasant life situation brought about by one or more extremely adverse circumstances. In the present case, that circumstance was the market crash and specifically the bankruptcy due to adverse movement of the leveraged positions. Many smalltime traders flock thousands of single terminal dealing rooms across the country; it may be worthwhile to examine the genesis and perpetuation of this situation and see what can be done to avoid it happening to one of our near and dear ones or us.

    Villainous Money
    The first object of consternation is money itself. It is often said that money makes the world go round, but a little objective thinking is all it takes to realize that this is not true. Unfortunately, much is made of the power of money. We have to understand that money only has utilitarian power much like electricity. Electricity by itself is not important but it makes those things run that are important – like the washing machine, the refrigerator and the computer. However, that does not mean that if there were no electricity, life would stand still. Clothes will still be clean and food will still be consumed.

    Having said that money has only utilitarian value, I must concede that money is a desirable thing and earning it is the primary occupation of most people in this world. Therefore, it is no surprise that markets attract wannabes by the score. These people invest or trade in the markets and sometimes make money and at other times lose it. What keeps these people in the market is the hope of winning.

    Keeping Hope Alive
    It is of utmost importance that this hope of winning is alive and for that to happen one’s capital should be safe. This can only happen if one is ready to cut losses quickly and move on. In my view, one should not wager more than 2% of one’s capital in any one trade. This will ensure that bankruptcy would require 50 straight and continuous wrong calls. If that happens one must pack up and banish the markets from one’s mind forever.

    The Credit Noose
    Over extension of lines of credit is another reason for despair. If a trader or investor borrows money to invest or to pay margins for a stock, he or she is under tremendous pressure to win. This pressure is bound to cloud one’s judgement. In nine cases out of ten, one will see extraordinary merit in a stock for some not very important reason and follow that stock to disasterdom. This pitfall is prevalent even in portfolio investment because of which the portfolio holder holds on to an obvious sell. A case in point is Zee Telefilms – Many investors ignored everything negative about the stock because it was seen as the ultimate convergence play. The stock is down from 1600 to around 100 in one year. Those people who borrowed money to bet on Zee are the hardest hit. Do not borrow to buy stocks and NEVER to cough up margins.

    ‘Know-allism’
    Overconfidence ranks third in my grief list. Nobody knows where the market is headed. Anybody who tells you otherwise is talking through his hat. Repeat ten times every day “I don’t have the vaguest idea where the sensex or any other stock is going today”. Trading is a game of probabilities and there is an equal chance of the trade going against as it has a chance of going in favour. Use any technique in the world including guesswork to take a position but do not have even an iota of confidence in your punt. Be suspicious of your own punting capabilities and you will survive and with a little luck win too.

    Averaging Cost = Multiplying Despair
    The next dangerous virus in the market is ‘cost averaging’. This is a dangerous thing as it is a sign of overconfidence. In those rare occasions that it may be justified, cost averaging should be premeditated. Impulsive and loss-cutting cost averaging lands you in more trouble than you were originally in. HFCL recently fell 16% each on four straight days and those who cost-averaged must have seen considerable avoidable damage to their capital.

    Convicting Thyself?
    After stupidity and greed the third most potent enemy of the trader is ‘conviction’. Any trader who has any convictions about the market or a stock is doomed. The only bottom that is theoretically predictable is zero as no stock can sell at a negative value. So, markets can be bearish even when the BSE index is 2000, 1000, 500 or for that matter 100. Do not attempt to foretell, anticipate or predict. Trend is the king. Leave bottom fishing for investors and institutions.

    Conclusion
    Last but not the least, every trader must understand that trading may be a profession, a hobby, a thrill or an interesting game but it sure is not life itself. As they say in urdu “aur bhi gum hain zamane mein, ek market (ki muhabbat) ke siwae?”. Do not let the market dictate your life – or death. In the same breath, I must add that if one crossed the street without looking around there is a great probability of getting hurt but that does not mean one must stop venturing out.

    Small-business holders can pick from two fundamental categories of financing, which is equity and debt. There are benefits and flipsides to consider while using them for different goals. Business holders who look for financing undergo a basic alternative to borrow funds or receive new investment capital. As equity and debt are accounted for another way, each has an individual effect on gains, cash flow and taxes and also on dilution, leverage and a multitude of other metrics by which businesses are calculated. The intended utilization of funds will also impact the option of financing, with one alternative more suitable for definite uses than the other.

    Equity diverges from debt in that it signifies an enduring rights stake in the firm. You are relinquishing a part of your possession interest in and control of the company in substitute to cash when you fund with equity. Equity investors may require dividends or a part of yearly proceeds. However, majority of the investors in small businesses look for long-term capital earnings on their investment, which means that at some point these investors are likely to eschew. It indicates the concluding sale of the business or the call for bringing in substitute investors in the times ahead.

    The most frequent provisions of equity funding for small businesses are individual savings or aid from kith and kin, friends and business partners. Project or seed capital firms can also be provisions of fresh capital, even though they usually handle bigger financings. If your trade is integrated, anyone giving equity capital would attain shares in the business. If it is a single proprietorship or a joint venture, they would obtain a possession share of the trade.

    Though equity funding can be employed for several different goals, it is normally utilized for lasting common financial support and not limited to definite ventures or time periods. The chief drawback to equity funding is the force of your rights interest and the likely failure of control. Furthermore, equity investors in smaller trades usually seek high takings over time to recompense for the risk.

    Debt can be a line of credit, bond or loan. Debt is regarded as an accountability of the firm and interest expenses are removable business outlay. In case of impoverishment or bankruptcy, debt owners take precedence over equity owners.

    Debt funding has both benefits and drawbacks for a small business. Debt can be comparatively easy to attain via a bank or other economic organization and is obtainable with a wide series of terms, enabling you to modify the debt to fulfill your definite requirements. You can generally get an institution ready to work with you whether you are looking for a three-month bridge loan or a long-term obligation. As most of the debt involves habitually planned payments of interest and frequent principal also, debt is simple to plan around. Conceivably most important, debt, contrasting equity, will not attenuate your possession interest in your firm.

    To look at the flipside, funding with debt can be costlier, and you will have to fulfill planned interest and primary payments in spite of of your cash flow. Even though loan terms can be worked out to add in flexibility, eventually the money must be remunerated.

    Debt is chiefly utilized to finance a definite venture or proposal that has an identifiable execution time period. It’s also utilized as a cash flow support in the form of a carrying line of credit. To draw lenders, you will need a good individual and business credit record, adequate cash flow to reimburse the loan, and enough security to give as a second provision of loan reimbursement. In smaller trades, personal assurance is expected to be needed on majority of debt tools. Also, you should not be carrying noteworthy debt already.

    Most businesses use a blend of debt and equity funding. The point is to get the right balance. If you have extra debt, you may go too farer than your ability to tune the debt and can be susceptible to business slumps and amendments in interest rates. On the contrary, extra equity weakens your possession interest and can reveal you to external control. The blend that appropriately suits your firm will be based on the kind of business, its time, and other issues. Beginners will be greatly biased toward equity as they have less time to set up a credit record and are likely to undergo downbeat cash flow in the initial years. You can time and again work out terms with both investors and lenders, building debt more like equity and vice versa.
