Hello there...
I have been visiting the forum as a guest but finally decided to dive in ...

Even though i have been investing in the NSE for a while, it was not with vigour. I did not apply any wisdom to my deals. Yet I was lucky in most cases. e.g. I bought Athi River at 15 bob, and still have them.

Long story short, i want to get educated and I promise to share any wisdom that i have along the way.

My first question is..What is the relationship btn the price of a share and the date a company announces results. I have noticed that the share price tends to go very high up just before results are announced followed by a sharp decline immediately after. Somebody pls shed some light.
Pls forgive any ignorance that my spew out of me.

Thanks Muganda.
Interesting, very interesting. I guess we all need a good doze of IQ and EQ. I have wondering when's the the best times to buy, then I realized there is no quick answer. A stock could fall in price due to poor performance, but if one is not aware(not following in press) and they go ahead and buy then they are kind of stuck for a (long)while...

@guru - i am the analystical type, but i must admit there are instances i have purchased based on EQ...

he uses IQ and focuses

Indeed the world's greatest investor has an answer for many quagmires.

1. Answer to @RichVee on when to buy:
The only time to buy these is on a day with no "y" in it.


2. Answer to @guru267 on IQ:
To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What's needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework.
Beware of geeks bearing formulas.


3. Suggestion to @VituVingi on how long to hold:
We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.'
Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.

trading in a bull market where the number of sellers is going down can get you seriously burned.. i think its best to look for a perfect stock pick(there are many out there) and ride the market momentum with it...

you may be willing to jump of one boat to another and the passengers of the latter boat dont have any space for you..

@Rich Vee
if thats your strategy then i suggest you set specific target in terms of percentage rise for the counter to sell and stick to it.. the only problem with that strategy is that bull market can last for a very long time(the last one lasted five years)so you may never see your price fall again...

let me suggest that if your stock rises and you decide to sell some you should use the money to look for more oppurtunities in the market rather than waiting for the price of your current holdings to fall

really can we chose our investment stocks by the use of earnings quality, and how sustainable those earnings can go still being strong?
