Investment - random musings

Hi yaaron!!

I was thinking of writing something on this topic. Since it concerns one and all, people nowadays are making investments in the stock market, in real estate, and in commodities . So i thought it will be really helpful for all of us, with varied degree of knowledge in this field, to come out and discuss the nitty-gritties of this 'last liberal art' - Invseting.

To begin with - investing, according to me, is placing money on some article, piece of land, piece of business, or some commodity with the intention of making some reasonable ( definition varies - for some 10% is reasonable and some people make claims of 100% returns or more) returns. The most common examples are real estate and equities. Since i am more exposed to equities, i will be talking, henceforth, from the perspective of stock investment.

For a prudent investor, it makes sense to buy a stock which is available in the market at a price substantially lower than its value ( again the definition varies but as a standard 30-50% can be regared as a safe range of discounted value). The tough part is to find the stock/s which is/are trading at the price signifiantly lower than its value. Again how to evaluate is another important question in itself.

So for today i will leave the floor open for discussion on which stocks to buy, how to find the value and how do people define investing in the stock market..
