Tell me one thing, you are also one of those people who want to take advantage of the stock market, but clearly do not understand how to start investing in the stock market, and what things should be kept in mind while taking a step in this market.
So today we will solve this problem of yours through this article, which will tell you how you can get profits in the stock market, and which 10 important and effective points can be considered to start investing in the stock market.
So to know all this, you must read this article till the end. So let’s start and first of all let’s know a little about the stock market, so that it can be understood more easily.
👉 What is stock market?
So the stock market is a place where companies sell their shares and people buy them. Companies need money to expand their business, for which they divide some of the company’s shares among the public as their company’s stocks.
The more stocks the person has, the more shares he has. By doing this, the company gets money for the business and the public gets shares in the company.
As the company grows, the price of its stocks increases, which also profits the stockholder investors, while the stockholders can also lose with the loss of the company.
👉 Stock exchanges
In this way, stocks connect a company and a stockholder person. Stock exchanges are used to list the company’s shares and provide investors with a trading platform, where stocks are bought and sold, i.e. there is trading.
👉 Type of stock
There are many types of stocks, but mainly there are two types of stocks, i.e. equity stocks and preference stocks.
Equity stocks are the most common stocks that represent ownership in the company.
On the other hand, preference stocks are more like a bond than stocks. Let me tell you that a bond is like lending money to a company or government, in which you get regular interest and when the bond matures, you also get the original money back.
It gets a fixed dividend, while stocks do not have a guarantee of getting a dividend. Stocks have high returns and high risk, while bonds have lower returns and lower risk.
Dividends are the reward given by the company to its stockholders, which can be in the form of cash and can also be in the form of extra shares. If you are confused between stocks and shares, then know that if the stock is a whole pizza, then the share is a slice of that pizza.
That is, if you have 100 shares of a company, then you have bought a share of that company’s stock. I hope you have understood now.
👉 10 points for investment
many times, many investors do not understand that the risk factors in the stock market are very high. Such investors get lost in the sparkle of the stock market.
The market ignores the risk, invests all its savings in it and without strategy and risk management, such an investment becomes the reason for their loss. So if you don’t want that, then be prepared to take the right action. Because the stock market is a market of patience, knowledge, research and strategy.
And to start investing in the stock market, the 10 points you have to consider are these.
Number 1.
First of all, research is important. Before investing in the stock market, you have to understand the stock market well. And you have to do proper research on the companies and sectors you are thinking of investing in.
For this, you can track the financial reports and industry trends of companies and sectors. And by doing research in this way, your investment decisions can be improved, which can give you better results. So don’t be in a hurry, invest by doing research.
Number 2.
Prepare an investment plan. Along with understanding the stock market, it is also very important to prepare your investment plan. For this, it is necessary that you have clear answers to some of these questions.
Like, do you want to invest in the short term or long term? Do you want to invest for retirement or for your children’s education? How much return do you want? What is your risk tolerance? That is, will you prefer high risk and high returns? Or low risk and low returns? How much money can you invest? And will you invest in the form of SIP? Or will you prefer lump sum investment? Let me tell you that in SIP, that is, Systematic Investment Plan, you can invest a fixed small amount every month.
Whereas in lump sum, you can invest a large amount at once. Find clear answers to all such important questions and accordingly choose suitable companies, sectors and stocks.
Number 3.
Open a Demat and Trading Account. After making a stock market investment strategy, it will be time to take action for investment.
For this, you will have to open a Demat and Trading Account. Demat Account is such an electronic account where the stocks of an investor are stored. And it works like an electronic locker.
Whereas a Trading Account is such an account through which the trading of stocks i.e. buying and selling is done. So, it is necessary to have both accounts for investment in the stock market.
Because as an investor, when you buy stocks, they will be bought from the Trading Account and then will be deposited in your Demat Account. Similarly, when you sell stocks, they will leave your Demat Account and will be transferred to the Trading Account.
From where you will be able to sell them. In this process, you will have to complete the KYC process which is necessary for the security of your investment.
Number 4.
Apply Stocks Diversification. After opening accounts, you can start your investment. And to make it effective, you will have to understand the importance of diversification.
This means that instead of investing your investment amount in the same company and sector, you should invest it in different companies and sectors. By doing this, the risk can be reduced and the profit balance can be maintained.
That’s why you should invest in different sectors like IT, Pharma, Auto Banking. So that the fall in one sector does not affect your investment much. You should invest your investment in large cap, mid cap and small cap stocks.
Not in the same type of stocks. I told you that large cap companies, i.e. big established companies and small cap companies, i.e. small new companies. Similarly, to reduce the risk, you can not only invest in stocks but also invest in mutual funds and bonds along with stocks.
Number 5.
Focus on Long Term Investment. In the stock market, long term investment is considered a good decision because the returns obtained from it can be quite high. Your investment can be very little affected by the ups and downs of the market and financial goals can also be achieved easily.
That’s why you should prefer long term investment to get a lot of benefits.
Number 6.
Follow the right advice. You should avoid blindly following random financial tips from friends and relatives. Because you are new in this field, so you should focus on getting the right information from authentic sources.
For this, you can take guidance from a financial advisor. Books, brokerage firms, online forums, financial blogs, websites and YouTube channels can also help you in this.
But while choosing them, you should know how to choose the right option from the crowd so that you can avoid being misguided and get valuable and authentic financial advice.
Number 7.
Start with a small investment. The stock market is new for you right now, so starting with a small investment will be favorable and safe for you because there will be no risk of loss. With time, you will gain experience, which will build your confidence and investment decisions will also improve a lot.
And after a while, you will be able to get ready to make such large investments in which there is less risk and more profit. So start with a small investment, for which you can buy stocks in a small quantity in SIP and choose options such as ETF, i.e. Exchange Trades Funds. Number 8. Keep monitoring your investment.

For this, you should monitor your investment at least once a month. You should also.keep an eye on market trends and should also take care of news updates, fees and tax-related information. You can get this information easily from financial news websites and brokerage platforms.

The stock market is very volatile, i.e. changeable, in which there are very sharp ups and downs. Especially in short-term investment. So do not be affected by short-term movements in the market.
According to this volatility, avoid trading stocks. And let the long-term investment grow with patience.
number 10
