Pre - Market Report (27 Feb 2020)

stockmarketadvisory.in Pre Market Report: Dow fell Consecutively for the 3rd day Yesterday. Totally Dow has given up more than 2000 points in 3 days. Now Corona Virus has rapidly gained Momentum in US as well. Just after this news, Dow futures fell more than 200 points. So the Corona Virus fear is currently at its peak. All Asian markets are mostly Negative. South Korea Central bank did not cut Interest rates as expected. South Korean markets traded in Green briefly due to rate cut expectation & since the rate cut did not come, markets fell. Our markets were highly volatile yesterday. Crude has fallen due to Global gloom. SGX Nifty is trading around 11675. For the last few days, for Call sellers, it was easy money.

Pre - Market Report (26 Feb 2020)

stockmarketadvisory.in Pre Market Report: US markets fell another 3% Yesterday. On Monday it fell by 3% and Tuesday another 3%, total 6% fall in two days. Last time this has happened only in 2015 and 2008. CDC (Center for Disease Control) warning spooked the markets. Asian markets are down. SGX Nifty is down by about 100 points. FIIs have sold for Rs 2315 crores in Cash market. However they seem to be covering their shorts in F&O. Since there is very little premium in next month contract and markets are near bottom, they may not like to rollover their shorts. They may choose to square up the shorts and that may cushion the fall. Earlier I mentioned (To Clients) if 11900  support is broken, Nifty is likely to take support at 11700. Markets are likely to be highly volatile. DIIs are expected to support the markets at lower levels. Somehow I feel Corona Virus fear is at its peak. The risk reward is not favourable to go short at this time. At the same time, going long is al

How to Achieve Financial Freedom?

Independence  is a state in which an individual or household has sufficient wealth to live on without having to depend on income from some form of employment. Many people can not grasp financial independence from a job. There are other ways to make a living besides Employment with a Job. While it is a necessity to have a job to pay bills for most people it does not have to be permanent situation. Jobs are great tools for getting the money to pay necessary bills but do not have to be a way of life forever. All jobs in the private sector come from businesses and there is another side of the table an employee can eventually move to. You can be an investor and buy the stock of publicly traded companies to benefit from the earnings that employees work so hard to achieve. You can also trade stocks to benefit from the price action of trends. You can also start your own business and benefit from the labour of employees. You can create your own job through self employment where you

8 Life Lessons I learnt from Becoming a Trader

stockmarketadvisory.in Although I’ve only been involved in the markets for more than10 years now, looking back, becoming a trader had a huge impact on me, and it profoundly changed me. It changed my way of thinking and looking at things, it challenged many of my previous beliefs and ultimately changed part of my personality. And it had repercussions in many other areas of my life.

If you can’t keep your ego in check and admit quickly when you are wrong, you’re almost sure to lose all the money you have invested in the markets at some point. There is almost no way that you will make it as a trader unless you change your persp
