We recommend reading this chapter on Varsity to learn more and understand the concepts in-depth.


Key takeaways from this chapter

  1. The mindset of a trader and an investor is different.
  2. The investor has to develop an investment mindset if he is serious about investing.
  3. The investor should stay invested for an extended period for the returns to compound.
  4. The speed at which the money doubles increases drastically the more you stay invested. This is one of the properties of compounding.
  5. Every investment has to be evaluated on two aspects – qualitative & quantitative.
  6. Qualitative aspects revolve around the non-numeric information related to the company.
  7. The quantitative aspects involve analyzing numeric data. Financial statements are an essential source of finding quantitative data.

    Sir although the module really helped but I did not get the idea of Trigger Price. If we have the option if limit price is there, why should we choose this. Also, what happens if the stock is triggered. Why is Trigger price set above the Market price while buying?

    Hello Karthik, great series, first of all thanks for your time in enriching each of our younger minds and, it needs a lot of patience in answering the questions one by one. I have decided i want to be a investor, and for investing long term i understood that fundamental analysis is required. So as a investor, do i also need to learn technical analysis? because i understood its for the traders, because as an investor i don’t need to time the market for long duration. Am i Wrong? Thanks!
