THE RISE AND FALL OF STOCKS
The Rise and Fall of shares: -
Share in the market offer a high capital
appreciation but the movement of the share price is always like a wave and
tide motion of the sea. The waves of the sea never surrounded it will rise
again and again only the magnitude will vary if the weather is run then the
sea will high waves. Similarly to see the stock market will also rise high
waves when the market booms, it will get depress in slum. The rise and fall of
the share is linked to a number of conditions such as political climate,
economic cycle, economic growth, international trends, budget, general
business conditions, company profits, product demand likewise.
Why Do Stock Prices Change?
Stock prices are changed everyday by
the market. Buyers and sellers cause prices to change as they decide how
valuable each stock is. Basically, share prices change because of supply and
demand. If more people want to buy a stock than sell it - the price moves up.
Conversely, if more people want to sell a stock, there would be more supply
(sellers) than demand (buyers) - the price would start to fall.
Stock represents ownership in a company. Therefore, the price of a stock
shows what investors feel the company is worth. Stock prices can change at any
rate, some have dramatic swings in one day while others stay the same for a
long time. There are hundreds of variables which drive stock prices, the most
important of which is earnings.. Think of earnings as the profit of a company,
the money left after all expenses have been paid, this is what share holders
desire.
There is also a common misconception that a stock that has risen will always
come back down, this is false. Stock prices reflect the interests of
investors, not the laws of gravity. Historically over the long term stocks
have appreciated by 10-12%.
Three level of shares:-
1) Undervalued or deflated zone
2) Real valued or correct valued zone
3) Over valued or inflated zone
Generally we can say a company is in
speculative zone when the 12-day rate of change of the price is more than 75%
to 100 %. The ideal time for buying shares would be in deflated zone or real
valued zone. Over value or inflated zone will create excess speculation and
the prices fall shortly after entering inflated zone.

trend.

In general a fundamental analysis tells
the latest developments, profititabilty, sales of the company and the
industry. We can conclude with the present status of the company and the
merits. At the same time we have to look what may be the future trends of the
same company. The market always discounts the future. A fertilizer company
with good results may go down when the news of monsoon failure even though it
is not affected profits immediately. Many companies with excellent results may
go down when a political instability occurs. This indicates that investors
worry about the future and mostly forget the past things.
The super timing of the market is
nothing but a pure technical analysis. There are various types technical
analyses. Technical analysis are art not a science and hence the accuracy
varies and it is the probabilities only.
1. Using moving averages.
2. Trend lines.
3. Patterns.
4. Business cycle theories like Elliott Wave
Theory.
5. Fibonacci Studies.
6. Stock Market Indicators.
Elliott wave theory says that the
market is like a wave and tide motion of the sea. The waves of the sea never
surrender. Only the degree of impulse varies. In a rough weather the sea roars
with amplitude of waves and thereafter a heavy undercurrent and pull back
occurs towards the sea. Similarly in a boom time the stock market rise
abnormally in speculative or overbought zone and thereafter a sudden fall
occurs due to (no buyers or) surging of buyers. It is always suggested to buy
in normal market condition and take profits when prices move in overbought
zone. An investor can be assumed as best if he could sell around 80% of the
rally.


Investment is better
than speculation.
We advise each and
every one to be an investor than a speculator.
