Are you an Investor or Speculator?? Judge Yourself !!

There's a fine line that we have to thread between investor and trader, so I think that's important to know on roughly which side of the line we are staying on. As we have come to know, investing is something that brings about good returns in the long run while speculating focuses on short-term gains and bears a much higher risk of losing principle. Anyway, so in this post I'll be covering the differences between the two.

Building A Watchlist ....

As you know, I have been investing for a long time and have gained experience with many of  my trades and investments in the market, but I would like to share how I built up my watchlist of around 34 companies which I follow.

So to start off, I look at the NSE Nifty, the blue-chips in India. I personally am not the most supportive of banks. Banks because I think that they're earnings are hard to gauge and that there's no real bottom when they start to fall, so I'll look at them only during depressions to see how they fare.
