The sure way to loss : Mutual Fund . . !

When every expert on this planet would saythat small investors are
better off when investing through Mutual Fund.
Can any one point out one mutual fund that
have not made enormous loss (more than 45%) in this falling
market. (Blame it on the market that everyone do).
This is not because we have fools managing thefund. BUT
This is because of the government's policy which ristrict mutual
funds to sell off their holding at will when the fund manager finds that
the market is going to crash.
While such restrictions are milder when itcomes to FII.
So this is a lose-lose situation when it comes to small inverstor who
thinks thatmutual funds are better and their money is safe in hands of
fund manager, While goodfund manager who picks good stock have
no right to sell and save "Small Investor" in such a crises.
What's your opinion. . . ?

StopLoss order on ICICIDIRECT

In reply to the comment I am describing here how to put the
Stop Loss order on icicidirect.


Refer the screenshot and there is the "Stop Loss trigger price" as highlighted
bellow. This is the price when achieved a market order will be sent
and your position will be cleared booking the loss.

I have filled in this order as per the older discussion.

Update : I have added the sell stoploss order for Sharekhan screen too.

Stop Loss ka Funda . .

I was surprised when I found out that my good friend
who is in Market since 98 is not clear about Stop Loss. I also got the message
from this blog reader that he had lost good amount in this down turn
While I am "all in Cash" this time also since my Stop loss was 3800 on nifty:
Hence I am reproducing what I sent to my friend, on what is stop loss:
Quote:
Stop Loss is the "Funda"/"Policy" you need to implement
and not just order on icicidirect.com/sharekhan.com.
This is how it works:
StopLoss is the "Predecided" value at which the loss will be booked
if the price of share goes against your trade before creating the position.
ie If I buy Reliance at 1800 and keep stop loss at 1700 that means
I "Pre-Decide" that if the share price falls bellow 1700 it is not
going to rise hence sell reliance and book loss without averaging.
Now you can put such order in icicidirect but stoploss will continue
only for that day. While what this "Funda" means that you need to track
the prices and sell on the day Reliance price goes and closes bellow 1700.
While I use something called trailing stoploss. Here I keep moving
my stoploss upward (downward revision not allowed). So now assume
that Reliance share moved from 1800 to 1900 I move my StopLoss to 1800
and then if it moves to 2500 I move my StopLoss to 2400. Assume that
price now falls to 2380. I sell Reliance at 2380 <>http://learnthetrick.blogspot.com/2007/02/importance-of-stop-loss.html

I have also kept some usefull links on the right side of this blog but people
tend to look at this blog only for "tips". I suggest all to read following

Very few might have "LEARNED THE TRICK" alas !

All stop loss hits All in Cash

All stop loss hits All in Cash you should be if you had stop losses.

So looking for clues I turn to Fibbonacci


In Nifty chart there are 2 scenario emerging.
One is the bull rally that ended on 8 Jan 2008 (6288 High) started
on 25 april 2003 when Nifty was 924 (I feel this is more convincing to ME)
and
Second thought is that rally started on 17 May 2004 when Nifty was 1338.

Now with 924 as start of rally we get following support levels can be arrived at
Delta = 6288 - 924 = 5364
High - 0.618 Delta = 6288 - (0.618 x 5364) = 2973 (Bot most level)
High - 0.5 Delta = 6288 - (0.5 x 5364) = 3606 (Mid level)
High - 0.382 Delta = 6288 - (0.328 x 5364) = 4239 (Top level)

While considering 1388 as start of rally we get
3260 (Bot most level)
3838 (Mid level)
4416 (Top level)

Paradox, up Up and Away symptom . . !

I got surprised at the sight of this, There are more advances than declines and
index has fallen on friday. . ! While 3800 is intact on Nifty.
What does this mean, Monday market is going to be up and many be the indication
of up up and away symptom.
