Investment essentially refers to what you do with your savings in order to preserve them and make them grow or yield and income. If you keep your savings in the form of cash, they are certainly going to diminish in value because the purchasing power of money is constantly going down r a result of inflation. (The value of money is judged by the quantity of goods and services you can buy with it). The4refore if you want to maintain of increase the value of your savings, you have to keep them in forms other than cash. This is what investment is all about, deployment of your savings with the intention of preserving or increasing their value, this deployment can be done by using your savings to buy land, residential property, commercial property, gold jewellery, works of art, fixed deposits in banks and companies, shares, bonds, in fact, anything whose value is likely to either remain constant or appreciate with time.
Investment also refers to using one’s savings with the intention of earning an income. For example, if you use your saving to buy a house, it will not only appreciate in value, but it can also give you a monthly income in the form of rent. Similarly, investments in bank deposits, company deposits, debentures and shares will also give you regular income. On the other hand, investments in gold, jewelery or works of art appreciate in value but do not provide any income.
Accordingly, as an investor you have to decide whether you want your investment to appreciate in value, to give you a regular income, or a combination of both. To decide this you will have to make an assessment of what your future requirements for money are going to be like. It is only then that you will know to what extent you want your savings to appreciate in value, and to what extent you want these to provide a regular income. Having done so, you then have to decide on how and where to deploy your savings so that your future requirements for money can be best met. This, in essence, is what the art of investment is all about.

There is a common tendency to look upon the buying and selling of share as speculation. Some people even goes to the extent of calling it gambling. This is simply not true. When you buy a share after making a proper assessment of a company’s future prospects, your risk is minimal and limited. When you do so on the basis of insufficient knowledge, incomplete analysis, the risks are naturally much greater. The former is investment, the latter speculation. Gambling is only an extreme form of speculation. The difference between investment and speculation really lies in the degree of risk that you are willing to accept for attaining your goal. The investor takes calculated risks and plays safe in return for moderate profits. The speculator deliberately takes high risks in the expectation of getting disproportionately greater profits. In the stock markets, the speculator generally tries to make short-term profits out of price fluctuations and usually ignores dividends. In addition, he often plays around with borrowed money instead of using his own funds. On the other hand, an investor generally uses his own money, and buys shares with the intention of earning both long-term capital gains and dividends. These are the essential differences between investment and speculation.
In the stock markets, both investors and speculators are operating all the time. However, it is not necessary that you should speculate. In fact, we strongly advise you against it. If you buy and sell shares on the basis for sufficient knowledge and analysis, your risks remain under control and your expected gains more predictable. In fact, in the stock market, long-term investors very rarely lose any money at all, whereas speculators more often than not do. This book is written for investors. Its objective is to provide a new investor with the essential knowledge and techniques required for making a proper analysis before investing, so that risks are reduced and gains made more certain.

The SplitMaster group is looked for stock; they have reliable record of gapping big in same way or other then after earning announced. The strategy has doesn’t care about the way of momentum has move around.

This is very large therefore this can be not a constant up and down. And there is matter about market what is doing. What counts by the momentum of the stock? Just as an example when stock announced and then after they decrease the gap down $3 continues, trader would also less the stock or buy a put choice. And in another side if the just opposite happen then trader also purchase stock or buy call option. Then obviously they using the option in stock and the chance of profitable are much larger.

There was a time, in the 1930s, when prices remained more or less constant, They did rise marginally but the rise was too small to have a significant impact on the cost of daily living. As a result most people felt economically secure and did not feel the necessity to take investment seriously, In the 1960s, this scenario underwent a drastic change. Prices began rising steadily and continuously, and the value of the rupee dropped sharply. The economic security of the fixed-income groups disappeared. The 1970s and the early 1980s saw a further acceleration in these trends. Consumer prices have risen by over ten times in the last 33 years. In terms of purchasing power, the worth of a rupee had fallen to only around 4 passé in 2004 as compared to 1960. In the forty years from 1960 to 2000, the annually compounded rate of inflation has been around 7-8 per cent.

It is now quite clear to most people that inflation has come to stay, and to stay permanently though after forty years of high inflation there is a possibility of a lower rate of inflation in the 2000s. Salaries and pensions are no longer adequate for meeting daily needs as they once were. Hard work, thrift and accumulated savings are no longer enough to provide for one’s future. Savings have to be intelligently invested and you have to actively manage your investments if you are to succeed in increasing, or at least in preserving, the purchasing power of your savings. You have not only to make sure that the rupee value of your savings grows with time, but also that the rate of their growth is higher than the rate of inflation. If the rate of inflation is 8 per cent to 12 per cent if you want to improve your standard of living.

This is the main reason why it has become essential for everyone to acquire a basic knowledge of investing. You will find it much easier to cope with the economic problems of the future if you know where and when to invest, and also how to manage your investments efficiently. In this book, we focus on profitable investment in shares.

Leading financial services company JPMorgan has increased its India equities team by appointing six more people in Mumbai. It also said that the firm’s specialist global sales team for Indian cash equities would be located in Mumbai.
Indian equities have maintained a strong trend with the Sensex growing 1.3% since January, as rising incomes have prompted investors to buy equities in Asia’s third largest economy. Robust economic fundamentals have also attracted foreign investors who have poured $3 billion so far into Indian equities. The Indian economy has been expanding at 9% annually, considered the fastest after China.

JPMorgan is also keen on the Indian real estate sector. JPMorgan Property Fund, which had mobilised over $300 million for the Indian real estate, is planning to build a residential project in Chennai for Rs 400 crore.
