My First Post!

I know not how many will read this post, but still, there HAS to be a first post, isn't it?

Stock markets amaze me. Well, we all are inherently a part of the economic structure so as to say, but getting affected by the stock market movements has its own thrill. I have always wanted to perfect this art of investing. People have started classifying investments by their durations. "Short term" and "Long term" investments. In the stock markets, there is no term. Especially, if you have some cash to use for a couple of months, and you want to try your luck at the stock markets, you'll earn only if your luck works. In most cases, it will be the other way round. You will end up losing most of your money.

In a bull market, you never know when the passing of the parcel will end. The big boys can go very long, indeed, but there is limited cash supply everywhere, and sometimes, they find it more appropriate to go short. That happened last year. And the bear always attacks the bull when the bull is running at the fastest possible speed. "Anytime, now." They say. If you do not have the appetite for a long term hold, the stock market is not for you.

I intend to continue this blog for my own use. I wish to use this as a tool to clarify my thoughts on various issues related to the stock markets, and the companies whose shares that are traded there. Expressing my views would help me towards a new line of thought, by pushing the thinking to different spots. I could have done this on my own computer using MS Word, but then, comments of people like you are always valuable.
