From 2003 to 2008 the world witnessed a rally in the stock markets. Prices of stocks soared, generating more than triple digit returns for investors and causing a flurry in the stock markets. Individuals from all walks of life began to take interest in stock markets, that were till then a taboo for many. People were no longer interested in hearing those stories about a neighbour’s son losing everything in the stock markets. The historic piece of story which kept investors apprehensive about stock markets slowly withered away to be replaced by growing interest.

With the rally lasting 5 years people saw the immense opportunities posed by stock markets. Business channels and pink papers further helped in pumping up the energy to fuel the minds of people who saw these huge opportunities unfolding.

In 2008 the markets entered a correction phase and predictably, millions of investors across the globe lost money in the falling markets. Though many took bitter beatings, stock markets eventually witnessed a price as well as time correction. Today sentiments are improving and India has emerged as a favourite destination for global investors.

There are several thousands of new entrants in the stock market daily. And this number is bound to go on rising as markets show movement. The best feature of a stock market is that you can make money not only when markets rise but even when they fall. Stock trading is the one of the few businesses in the world that has this unique capability.

In last few cycles of bulls and bears in India we have witnessed people entering the markets with high expectations of making money in the bull rally and finally losing all the gains as the markets turn bearish. The high tide takes the investor’s portfolio up and the low tide brings it back down. Eventually a disheartened investor gives up and gets back to some regular business. This, a frequent phenomenon, is a blow not only to the investor but also to the market as it loses a prospective big-time investor.

The main reason for this, according to our experience, is: a person who enters the stock market has high ambitions of making money but lacks the power of knowledge. The killer trap of intraday trading and wishful thinking weighs heavy on this investor. Dreams of rewriting history without the support of the necessary knowledge takes a toll on this investor.

In order to break the vicious cycle of unreal expectations and the harsh reality of disappointments, a person needs to enter these turbulent waters with the right skills so that the change in tide does not destabilise his surfing through the stock markets.

It is with this view that we at PRECI$ION TECHNICAL$ have started an initiative of conducting a basic course on stock market. This course which helps a person construct the basic foundation before entering the stock market. These courses are conducted at different locations all across India.
