Let's be realistic

Rajesh Sharma

If some of us are new and we are having loss in paper, let's consider that probable loss as part of payment of tuition fee to "Nepal share market school of experiential learning." It will make us psychologically strong in future. However, if we hold, there is high chance that we recover the loss or even earn profit.
If some of us are traders and we are in loss in paper, let's accept this as normal cyclic effect and let's turn to short term investors and hold.
If some of us are investors and we are in loss in paper, we have plenty of options. The best one is selling less strong companies and buying more strong companies.

My previous experience tells me that we should take risk but in a very calculative manner. Taking loan and buying shares is not advisable option when there is no sign what way the market will move. Buying over optimistically also may be sometimes harmful.
For all, whether we are new, trader or investor; when things are so cloudy, HOLD is the best option. The market, in relative sense, is deep down. But, there are mixed signals. The confidence of small investors has been shaken; big traders also are being seen without any influence and overall, the market is on auto-pilot. Therefore, if we have disposable cash balance in our account or at home, this is best time to buy but being not over optimistic.
This is, in my opinion, best BUY time for small investors but please be calculative and moderate, take quite moderate risk in selecting companies and please buy from your saving only.

WE SHOULD PLAN OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS IN STEPS AND IN GRADUAL PROGRESSION. There is a saying, "ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN ONE DAY".
