Bear Investor
A Bear is an investor who believes that the prices in the market will decline. A Bear Market is one where prices are falling (e.g. if the GBP/USD rate is dropping). If the decline is expected to continue, the market would be 'bearish'. 'Bear' dates back London stock traders of the 1700s. It may stem from the adage "Don't sell the bearskin before you've caught the bear." This is roughly equivalent to "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched." which is what stock market 'bears' do. Anticipating declining market prices, they sell stock or currency they don't own yet, gambling that the price will fall by the time they actually have to buy it or deliver it, for a large profit.
Associated Companies
Where the company has an interest in another company that represents more than 20%, but less than a majority, of the voting rights in that company’s share capital, then this is deemed to be an investment in an “Associated Company” and the profits of the investment are consolidated into the results of the investment holding company. Under a 20% interest only dividends received will feature in the holding company’s accounts. Over a 50% interest, the investment is deemed to be a subsidiary company and its results and net assets will be fully consolidated in the holding company’s own accounts
Golden Rules of trading
Always have a plan and trade according to it.
Once you have decided to do trading, its better to do some research, look out for strategy which suits your needs and your attitude towards this business. Be clear in your mind and heart, that, this is a high risk and high gain business. So prepare yourself for it.
Go with the wind
This is a business where you should go with people, who are experienced and knowledgeable in this field. Once you are experienced, you will have a better knowledge of market conditions and their effects, then, you can follow your own instinct.
When to exit……
Its better to have a limit according to your risk taking attitude instead of waiting for the things to change. Most of the time, people expect things to change, and end up incurring huge losses. Before you start trading, decide on your “STOP LOSS PRICE”.
Stick to few stocks.
It would be better if you stick to few of the stocks or positions with which you are comfortable and kept a watch on them for quite sometime. Otherwise, there is a very high probability of you making wrong decisions.
