Double our Money by Investing in Undervalued Stocks
There are moments in stock market where stocks market index falls very steeply. I am talking about moments like the great depression of 1927, .com debacle of 2001 and US debt crisis of 2008. At these times prices of some best quality stocks fell disastrously. These are the moments when there is maximum pessimism in the market. In these moments of mayhem everybody seems to be busy in only selling their holdings. Investors sell their stocks and keep their money parked in risk free schemes. Some may even keep hard cash in their closet. This is what is a point of Maximum Pessimism. But value investors do just the opposite of what majority does in these situations. Value investors buy more stocks in moments of maximum pessimism. In year 2009, I saw a stock which was trading at 170 levels and within a matter of one 12 months its value rose above 400 levels. It means, in less than a year, there was a possibility of doubling the money. One year back the same stock was trading at 650 levels and now at 410 levels. The point I am trying to make is that, if we concentrate on buying value stocks, doubling our money will be easy. The problem here is that such moments do not come very often and we have to wait for long period. But still this market gives lots of opportunity to those investors who tracks the stocks very intently.
Double our Money by Investing in Stocks Like a Gambler.
Believe it or not but most of the people in stock market falls under this category. They buy stock and “hope” that its market price will appreciate in future so that they can sell their holdings for profit. Such investors never bother to know about investing basics. They simply buy stock by getting influenced by an external agency, without doing any stock evaluation themselves. This form of investing is highly unpredictable. I personally feel that potential investors should not follow this investing strategy. Trained stock market traders use “Future and Options” to add some certainty to this speculative form of investing. But I will suggest that normal investors need to first learn this trade and then venture into this form of investing.
Double our Money by Investing in Retirement Scheme managed by Employer.
In India, it is compulsory for service class to invest in retirement schemes. It not only gives the income-tax advantage buy also develops a retirement corpus. Suppose an average person has a basic salary of Rs 10,000/month. As per rules 12% of basic salary (Rs 1200) will be deducted towards contribution to retirement plan. The same amount of money i.e. Rs 1200 per month will be contributed by your company to your retirement fund. Now this saving will also earn you post-tax return of approx 5.5% per annum.
