You'll need to dig through the archives, or use the blog search (on the top left corner) to find them. If you are serious about learning fundamental analysis, buy and read Dorsey's book. <br /><br />Since bull phases tend to last longer than bear phases, a SIP will go on increasing your average holding price. Value averaging is a better bet - it requires additional commitments during bear phases. (There is an article about it on my blog.)<br /><br />For historical prices, visit the BSE and NSE web sites (links to both are available on the right panel of my blog).<br /><br />Feel free to ask more questions or leave comments.

I just read your book. All my inves...Hi Subhankar,<br /><br />I just read your book. All my investing ideas got messed up ! Benjamin Graham's book is surely a re-read, but before that anyone needs to re-read your simple book that changes the perception of investing.<br /><br />I would like to clarify some points<br /><br />1)Why would one like to see what happened to his SIP after just one year of investment ? Isn't SIP a long term investment tool. We can see the last 10yrs CAGR of top diversified MF is around 20%. <br /><br />2)I spend around 7k for 2 ELSS and 3 diversified MF, and keep rest 8k for stock market investment as well as a part of it for my debt portion of the portfolio, and waiting like an 'South African Python'. So, I was expecting some topics on P/E ratio of Nifty for investment.<br /><br />3)Can you come up with some articles covering the fundamental analysis of stocks for infant investors like me :) .<br /><br />4)How do you get the historical stock quotes of companies, I tried the quotes from yahoo finance which provides a lot of garbage data.<br /><br />I was crunching some data and realized the concept of investing in FMCG and your ebook cleared that concept, I just loved it. A lot of topics in your book needs re-read. I just loved you book and the way of writing was great with comparison to the different sportsman. <br /><br /><br />Thanks and Regards <br />Tirthankar MukherjeeTirthankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158039389749523341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148222695370746347.post-32280186507241778962010-04-29T12:56:55.608+05:302010-04-29T12:56:55.608+05:30@Ganpat: Appreciate your comments and thanks for r...@Ganpat: Appreciate your comments and thanks for recommending my eBook to others.<br /><br />@Ravi: You are welcome. The extract has been left as is - for the benefit of those who haven't read it.<br /><br />@scorpio: It is better to close a small losing position, than let it turn into a huge loss. Any tool - including stop-loss setting - should be used judiciously, and not blindly. But O'neil's '8% max' rule seems quite appealing.<br /><br />Glad to note that you enjoyed the brevity of the eBook. But do continue with Graham's book. And definitely buy and read Pat Dorsey's book.Subhankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13248068905130821262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148222695370746347.post-40538708156316623222010-04-28T10:54:14.100+05:302010-04-28T10:54:14.100+05:30The issue is most of the times you will hit your s...The issue is most of the times you will hit your stop and will have to close the position to move the way you wanted it too. Yes its a good thing to buy on pull backs, though sometimes you never get a pull back for a long time. Again the risk can be less when you buy on pull backs or close to the 20 day or 50 day EMA. I liked your book because it was small. graham book is taking time to complete - I have only done 3 chapters :(scorpiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323816247057721005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148222695370746347.post-32090823891198768872010-04-28T07:41:09.624+05:302010-04-28T07:41:09.624+05:30I read it.

...I read it. Thanks for the very informative book. <br /><br />Please feel free to remove the following extract from your book.<br /><<<<br />The following is what I liked the most in this book.<br /><br /> <br />When all the fundamental and technical analysis still leaves common investors <br />bewildered, a look at how different industry sectors have performed during <br />previous bull and bear market cycles may be enlightening. <br /> <br />The first signs of a stock market revival become visible when stocks from the <br />financial sector like banks and NBFCs (Non-banking financial companies), retail <br />and transportation sectors start to rise and consumer durables like home <br />appliances, cars and trucks start showing improved sales. The economic story is <br />nothing but bad news. <br /> <br />As the bull market begins to mature, and the economic cycle starts to improve, <br />the sectors to watch will be technology, capital goods (like construction <br />machinery) and construction materials (like cement and steel). <br /> <br />These will usually be followed by chemicals, paper, non-ferrous metals, <br />petroleum - when the economy starts to gather momentum. Near the peak of the <br />bull market, the real estate and energy sectors tend to dominate. <br /> <br />The FMCG and Healthcare sectors come to the forefront as the stock market <br />begins its bear phase. The economic cycle tends to be at or near its peak <br />around this stage. <br /> <br />As the bear market matures, utilities and services sectors try to hold the fort. The <br />economy is now well and truly in its downward cycle. <br /> <br />>>><br />Thanks again.Ravihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03251485855325177141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148222695370746347.post-18610199426696101022010-04-27T22:38:01.007+05:302010-04-27T22:38:01.007+05:30Dear Subhankarji,
