Today I wanna put some in my diary...
I will go back to thursday when I went for taking a sharekhan Trade Tiger demo! I thought I would get that in Sharekhans Office ... but instead the agent took me to the agents den!! which was a 3 BHK flat they have probly rented! ... No board outside since it is in a society! ... So demo was a good one ... a great one ... because first time I got to see the face of futures and options!
The OPTION part of the share market has really made me crazy ... because this is such a beautiful thing! As far as I know till now (my understaning which syat be right syat be wrong...so following what I m goona jot down are not tested for correctness!)...
1. Option is/can be a lottery ... In my opinion, the "timing" to buy it and sell it
probably plays most important Role in profit if you use it for trading... I call it a lottery because if you lose in it in the end you lose only premium(=price of the option lot!) ... and nothing more!...but in case you win there seems no end how much you win... It is
syat bad than lottery in terms of RISK to REWARD ration ... it is syat better than lottery becuase you can have some control over Risk ... If things seem going against your expectation you may just square it off and limit the loss of primium to some extent ... It is syat better than lottery because you can see you are winning or losing ... and you have right to quit the game at what ever time you want!!... the discover of this option is in my view worthy of a Nobel Price!!!
2. Option is/can be an insurance: - If I bought 50 Qty. of Jindal stocks + I bought 1 lot of PUT of Jindal say till OCT 09 with strike price equal to my stoploss price, I can (probably) go for an hibernation for three months!
...becuase in my watch/non watch from market or Jindal stock price, the price is allowed to do drop down whatever it wants and rise up whatever it wants ... In case it drops drastically and does not show any sign of recovery to my buy price then I always have the PUT option as my ACE at such situation...this PUT gives me right to sell that stock to the option writer at a fixed price in the OPTION which is now faaar up than current market price!... So my idea is that long term investor if feeling unsecure about any stock/investment should always accept the min loss he is ready to bear in given amount of time by buying a PUT option of the security he is holding...
I hope my idea is correct here...
3. Life is full options: - This seems tobe another big view @ options ... life is full of options and no options ...
For example...My mama and Papa quarrel sometimes and don't talk at all for 3-4 days ... then the option expires with some typical "
strike"
,...and they start talking again!
Another Example is between girls and boys ... I can/should be honest here
... Just see by natural law boys get attracted to girls and and we girls are attracted to boys ... nothing wrong with it ... but we girl are clever ... we don't show up this attraction ... We just hide it for our advantage ... and USE boys as an option to a slave ... say in 10th or 12th standard suddenly a girl becomes very friendly with a boy ... The boy does everything for her ... just literally everything and from getting notes and books to submitting forms and the list is endless ... and in the end after the exams "the option expires"!! ... boy scores very less or simply fails and with good marks in her bag girl moves ahead and few days latter boys know the FACT in a shock that
it was an option and not an delivery ! ... which has expired now ... I don't like this attitude in use and i don't/NEVER follow this too but since the topic is "options" I am putting here what I see my friends doing!!
... Anyway back to trade tiger demo now ... This is my behaviour model about anything ... Until I have no clue about that thing I am always having a BIG scare n repultion and anger over that thing ... the moment I know it everything turns upside down!!...So same thing has happened with F&O...till I had no clue about F&O I really hated it ...was saying why peoples have complicated the stock market unnecessarily... as the agent gave me a good demo and told me little about F&O I just got ecstatic!!!... The F&O is WITHIN my TERRETORY OF UNDERSTANDING...So this such a great event happened at that time!...I have asked so many silly questions here just out of that attraction arised after the end of so many years of repultion... and even the Big BULL TFL also got "tired" answering them!!!...I don't have word for him .. I will NEVER have words for TFL ... such an "unconditional helper"!...In todays world personalities like TFL are non existant!! Really!!
So anyway back to trade tiger demo again ...then another client entered after in the room my demo ... he was a young dude but so scared about everything there... I sat aside ... Just wanted to listen all the things again for my satisfaction! ... So the agent gave him same demo ... just copy and paste what he had said to me like a ROBOT ... but alas in the end that young dude was more puzzeled about the things on screen ... the way I grasped the things with interest, the agent was sure the young dude would ... but it was opposite ... The client asked what those candlestick mean ... to my amazement the agent also knew only about the colors green and red and nothing more ... So they were watching each others face for few second with BIG question about the other person in front!! ...
So I was so much bubbling with energy ... I just couldn't stop my self and jumped in...I started telling about candlesticks, start and close and high and low and upper shadow and lower shadow and its patterns like hammer , doji and its origin from Japan rise exchange ... Ohh my god!! ... they both were listening in a complete spell-bound to me!! ... haha ... Sharekhan agent latter said latter why do you needed a demo from my side?! ... were you testing me ?!... haaa... The client dude said 'How you come to know this?' ... from how many years you r in this stocks? I said a month! .. He was shocked!! ... ... He said are doing MBA in finance or what? ... i said "no ... no way !!!!" ... this conversation was so flatterning!... He asked me to tell him a few stocks he can take delivery for few months ... I said "This is syat bad chice asking me, I have already made 7000Rs. Net loss in a month, so you should ask anyone but me in the whole world!!"...
...
About trading with sharekhan:- this is the last thing I wanna put here ... A week has passed since I have started trading with sharekhan ... the things I knew that ...
1. I have invested 3000Rs. capital the I get 3000x4=12000 margine for day trading
2. while da trading if some positions goes too badly against me then if I have not put a stoploss then I can hold that position for next four days excluding trading day!...only brokerage will be charged as that off a delivery trade!
3.If I took holding of 12000/- Rs. worth stock from monday to friday and since it is 5th day i have to square off my position and then after squaring off I get RIGHT to play with 12000/- margine again on friday itself .... only thing is I can not withdraw the cash i received om friday ... i need to wait for 3 more days for cash withdrawal...
.... But till now I have observed that statement No. 3 is NOT completely true which my sells agent had told me about holding is not happening to be true and i have to
syat wait three more days to get my playing magine back!...anybody related to sharekhan, please clarify me over this....
So this much looks sufficient today...
