If I don't understand the company or the sector, I don't invest in it. That's simple. Not my strategy, taken from Warren and Charlie but yeah that's it. Right now as of writing this blog i.e. 13th Dec 2025, I have mainly invested in Power Sector because that's the only one in my head that will keep growing.
Ideally, I want to invest the Tech Hardware Sector, however the problem at the end of 2025 is that many big companies are doing some weird shit which makes the market very volatile at least for me, so I am out of it for now.
Patience: My slow and steady youtube journey has taught be a lot of patience and that is what I am implementing here. Lots and lots of learning with the least amount of money I have is the goal here.
I am only buying stocks that I am willing to hold forever, which means I will hold onto the stock forever if I have to. I never have and never will use Stop-Loss, that's the worst thing ever. In the few months of me trading I have only sold stocks higher than what I bought them for including all the charges.
I didn't think anyone would even think about buying high or when everyone else is buying and then selling low, when everyone else is selling until I was on call with a former colleague of mine who is making more than lakhs per month who did exactly that and justified it by saying oh when the prices go even lower I will buy it at the lower price with these money instead.
His logic sounds great until you realized he has assumed the price will keep going down, what if he sells and it goes up. Remember, he is already in a loss. Anyways, that's not what I do, if it goes down, I go down with it until eternity.
This time I have started with Rs.4000 only. I invest all 4000 in one stock and then when the price goes up, I sell all and re-invest the Rs.4000 in another stock. Thereby slowly taking out the extra money I am making over. I never invest with more than the fixed amount and until I have taken out an extra Rs.4000 this will remain like this.
When I started out and didn't understand the charges at all and the principles, I lost around Rs.1100 of that Rs.4000 in the very beginning. However, I didn't put more money into it but just reinvested the reduced money into other stocks. And just took out the money when the investment grew(As of writing this i.e. 13th Dec 2025, I not only made the Rs.1100 back but also have made Rs.250 extra on it).
The long-term plan is to take out the initial investment and then invest the profit amount into some stocks where I hold for the real long term.
Margin Intra-day Square Off: You pay 1/5th but the stock sells immediately at the end of the day if you didn't already sell the same day.
Delivery(CNC): It's your stock, if you sell same day, no DP charges(20+GST for the whole stock of one company) or you can keep it till your hearts desire.
I tried this so many times seeing how little I had to pay for Intra-day and stuck to the screen seeing the numbers go up and down and selling immediately thinking I made a profit only to later find out with charges that I made a loss. The app is designed to make you believe that.
When later I did incorporate the charges into it and I tried, most of the day what happened was that the stock went down and I was forced to sell at a loss, however, had I actually bought the stock I would have more chances to sell them later, like in this case they went back up the next day and I could have made profit on all the MIS stocks that I made a loss on if only it had been my stock.
Even if my investments earlier had turned out to be in complete loss: Remember I intend to hold the stock forever if the prices go down so I will not sell even if the prices are done, I will sink with the sinking ship if I have to because remember, it's about investing in companies you believe in, so if the ship sinks, my investment in that company goes with it but I stick to the principle.
I remember when I started investing, it was a horrible journey of just watching stocks all day and the nervousness I felt is not something I desire, and that's why I designed everything around this point actually that I don't want yet another volatile thing in my life. I already have enough of them.
So this means most days I don't even check my stocks, when I get repeatd mails(inside spam) that the stock has crossed 5%, 10% or more which I have set, I set a trading price if the market is close that might sell it or sell at the current market price immediately and wait for the money to come into my account.
By the time money makes into my account, I look into other stocks I might be interested in as per 1.
Two points:
1) By the time these media show you a popular stock, it has already peaked and buying it will only make you lose money.
2) Greed has taken over the world. And every media outlet especially with a lot of viewers can manipulate the market in their favor my manipulating the data and giving you false promises. I saw so many viewers watching the AngleOne livestream that I thought if he says everyone to buy something, they will easily control the whole market.
And remember, all that these people want to do is by any means make you in the trading loop. They want to keep you buying and selling constantly while they make money either by your stupid purchases which were rigged, or, just by charges on the trades you do which will become a lot pretty soon.
So what I do is search the NSE database to find out stocks that are in the sector I like and for now since I investing with such a small amount of Rs.4000, I stick to stocks under Rs.50 just so that I can buy a huge number to reduce the amount I need to recover as the charges add up quite quickly.
And who says a stock will only go as high as it has gone in the past. Also I belive in the probability system that we learnt in hihg school. My next coin toss isn't depependent on the previous coin toss. Just beause I have been gettignn 10 tails in the row doesn't suddently make it sure that the next I will get is head. They are mutually exclusive. ANd I am going with that mentality in mind. Just because a stock went up and low t o acertin value in a certain time makes absolutely no guaranteees that it will do it again. I have to learn to manage the risk without putting expectaitons on it.
Here's my methodology, will explain more later when I share all the trading.
Buy some big numbers of these small value stocks and immeidately place a sell order for the same day not including the DP charges was it? 20+gst thingy?
If they sell that same day, good, no loss made and possibly no profit made either.
If however, it doens't sell, now I will add the Rs.20+gst thingy and put this for sale indefinately.
And I will try to keep moving between stocks and stocks but will never add any moore money in the account.
Either I make little profit or I make no profit but I have held stocks is my thinking here. When I have done this several times and understand al the "actual" charges will wes tart to think about profit.
I would also like to point out a psychology behind it. With this method I do not get nervous if the price goes down, earlier with Intraday or doing something normally I kept getting worried that I would loose all my stocks and hence would not sell the stock even on little profit trying to make up for earlier losses like a gambling addict. This happened yesterday, will tell more soon but the point is: With this method, if the price goes down, I simply hold the stock for longer, it becomes my investement in the company. If it goes up, it sells automatically. Also, I am free of wathcing the market going up and doign all day.
I actually did one right now. I sw the ALOKINDS stock on the NSE sheet and it was the scond chepest, (Idea was yesterday) and I bought it at Rs.18.32 and I added the costs: 2.57 for buy and 2.55(could be a bit higher based on price) for selling all 10 stocks and I added them to be 18.312 as the break even and I put a 18.32 sell price on it. I already have that alarm to remove stocks from the market at the end of the day at 3:40PM and put a higher sale price to incorfporate the DP charges and forget about it. I don't want my emotions running high
Also what I have seen is the app tries to show you oh that you are making a lot of profit visually when the graph has been scaled up very large and they absolutely ignore the trading charhges. I think it's completley wrong but I do understand what they're trying to do. Morals is missing from this world as it is now. Everyone cares about making their money The reason I simply didn't set a stock alert in this app because it keeps shoving shit in my face, oh this stock is up, this is down, buy this and when turn off the notificaiont sof rtht it also removes the notification for this. They also have a live coaching session and when I saw that 10k people are watching this I realized what a terrible thing this is because those 10k people are enough on their own to sway the market, atleast that's what I thikn. if they are told to buy such and such stocka nd hold it they will with, let me remind you, OF NO GUARANTEES THAT IT WILL ACTUALLY GO UP IN PRICE AT ALL.
