VALUE AND GROWTH INVESTING

Companies that consistently manage to grow their profits faster than their industry peers are called growth stocks. Their faster growth is generally the result of some sustainable competitive advantages. Since they need to constantly fund their growth, they typically pay out little or no dividends. The investors get reward in form of appreciation in stock price,a trader can really earn profit by investing in growth stocks these are the top 50-100 stocks in the stock market but these stocks are also risky

Value stocks are those stocks which are trading at lower price than its intrinsic value but these shares have potential to increase your wealth in future.Some big investors like graham bell also called father of value investing focuses more on value stocks for a long-term gain and others investors like warren buffet,rakesh jhunjhunwala are the renowned investors who had make their fortune through value investing.So,try to invest more on value stocks which have a potential growth in future

ITS ALL ABOUT STRATEGIES

You can pick a stock based on fundamental analysis but stock market is of very volatile nature you can’t 100% sure that the price of a particular stock would surge.So,now its all depend on your strategies,which can make you or break you.So,it would be great to have well-versed with your strategies beforehand.I will mention some of the strategies which have been implied by many and also takes a benefits from it.

Averaging down

When the stock price falls,you can use this strategy,to reduce the Average price of stock and also the break-even point(i.e.,the point where get no profit no lose).Try to understand with the following example:

Buy 200 share @200 – 40000 .If there will be a fall in price of 50 rupees

Now, the 200 share is trading @150 – 30000

Then,but additional 200 shares at trading price i.e., 150 per share

Now,you have 400 shares,and your break even point is also decrease from 200 to 175,means now you can even sell your shares @ 175 without bearing a loss.

OR,if you believe that the stock price will rise to 200 then you can earn a profit of 10,000 rupees.

Averaging up

This strategy is also widely used by many traders to reduce the losses and increase their winning chances.you can use this strategies

• When price starts to rise to increase the profit
• use it in bull market
• When there is a significant potential in the stock

Let understand this with the following example

A’s invested in 1000shares of ITC ltd. @ 1200 rupees,then the price starts to increase so A buys additional 1000 shares @ 1500, then again price starts to rise and again A buys additional 1000 shares @ 1800,Now lets sum up,A has 3000 shares with the average cost of 1500.

Now there is also a another investor B who also invested in 1000 shares @ the price of 1200 per share Now lets calculate how much profit will they earn if they sell it at 2000

A has 3000 shares with the average price of 1500 so if sells at 2000 he gets a profit of 15,00,000.On the other side A has 1000 shares with the price of 1200 and if he sells @2000,he gets a profit of 8,00,000

 This clearly demonstrates how averaging up strategy can be profitable if made use of in a bull market.

The risk arises for trader A when there is a reversal in trend since he has pushed the average price per stock higher with each successive purchase.

There are many more strategies available which you can apply in your trading and soon after getting some trading experience you can develop new strategies according to your trading plan and goal and if you are a beginner and don’t have enough confidence first try trading in a trading simulator and practice it well before try to trade in a real market.This will surely improve your confidence,and keep it in mind that stock trading is not a quick rich scheme its like any other profession which demands knowledge,skill,dedication towards work.
