Investing In Stock MarketIt is simpler to make money for those who understand the market well than those who think it is complex . It is better not to go after formulas , methods or strategies . Just pick out which are the hot stocks and hot sectors , that have high growth rate and invest in it . It works very well during all bull markets . Do not forget to book profits @ 10-20% or at your target points before the time when growth prospect diminishes . Wait for the next opportunities .
Invest in stocks which give dividends consistently whether the market is bull or bear . It is for the long term investors . Collect the dividends and stay invested . With the great stock market volatility during recent years , it has given a number of opportunities for making easy money in the market . Through taking away profits at intervals and re-entering in the market , the volatility ETFs have made room for making money , a number of times . |

The Business Of Trading In Stock Market Is Not A Game , Rather It Is A Struggle.
To start a business man needs money . Now-a-days stock trading is more or less like a war . There is competition everywhere . Hard work is the key to win in the business.
Here , in the business , sometimes man becomes greedy and more speculative. To speculate is nothing but to observe the future and act before it occurs .
In either of the two conditions , he is speculative : i) when he can afford ,
and (ii) when he can not afford .
And when this happens , he starts losing . He starts borrowing . He underestimates the value of money .
A-borrowing means a-sorrowing .
And everybody knows , business without profit is not a business . For God's shake don't do that .

I am wonderfully delighted to see a body of men thriving in their own fortunes, and at the same time promoting the public stock ; or in other words , raising estates for their own families by bringing to their home whatever is wanting and carrying out of it whatever is superfluous .

On Lending Money

Human life is more governed by fortune than by reason .

To manage a business successfully requires as much courage as that possessed by a soldier who goes to war . Business courage is the more natural because all the benefits which the public has in material wealth come from it.
The accumulation of wealth is no guarantee of the development of character ; but the development of character or of any good whatever , is impossible without it .
Property left to a child may soon be lost ; but the inheritance of virtue ( a good name , an unblemished reputation ) will abide for ever . If those who are toiling for wealth to leave their children , would but take half the pains to secure for them virtuous habits , how much more serviceable would they be. The largest property may be wasted from a child , but virtue will stand by him to the last .

When I Die, My Entire Fortune Will Be Donated To Charity, Except The $40 Billion I Will Have Buried With Me - Warren Buffett
Courtsey - www.theonion.com [ click on the head line ]
I’ve been incredibly fortunate throughout my life. Not only have I had a long and successful career and been blessed with a beautiful family, but I’ve also had the opportunity to give back, which has been a reward beyond measure. And as I get older and begin to put my affairs in order, I want to reaffirm my commitment to advancing the causes I care so much about. Which is why, when I die, I plan to donate my fortune to charity, minus the $40 billion I will have buried with me.
Nothing would bring me more satisfaction than knowing that the 45 percent of my wealth that’s not interred alongside me will go on to do good in the world.
While I’m very proud of what I’ve accomplished at Berkshire Hathaway, having grown a small textile business valued at a mere $11.50 per share into a conglomerate that’s now listed today at some $200,000 a share, I’m even more proud of using my wealth to support organizations doing critical work in education, women’s health, and animal rights—so giving away the money that won’t be sealed in a tomb next to my remains was an easy decision to make. To me it’s simple: Even after I’m dead in the ground along with roughly half my net worth, I want to continue making a difference in people’s lives.
And while I could easily be entombed with more than $40 billion—say $50 billion or even $60 billion—it’s just not necessary.
I have made careful arrangements to ensure that my wealth is distributed to the charitable organizations that matter most to me. From my $72 billion fortune, $8 billion will go to the Sherwood Foundation to promote equality through social justice, $6.5 billion will go toward empowering women and girls through the NoVo Foundation, $5 billion will go to the GAVI Alliance to expand childhood immunization, $7 billion will go to Heifer International and the World Food Programme to help small farmers, and $5.5 billion will go to Save the Children.
The rest will be stacked around my dead body in towers of $100 bills and gold bullion.
Some people may question my choice. After all, it’s my money, so why not go to the grave with all $72 billion? But extravagance for its own sake has never particularly appealed to me. I already have everything I need: friends, family, a roof over my head, and enough cash to fill my 5,600-square-foot, multi-room, high-strength steel crypt several times over.
And while I could easily be entombed with more than $40 billion—say $50 billion or even $60 billion—it’s just not necessary. That additional money could help so many people around the world who are struggling to meet their basic needs. In my mind, as long as there’s enough money set aside for me to live out the rest of my days comfortably and then later to surround my lifeless body in a 100-foot-thick cocoon of hard currency, I’m happy to give the rest away.
I challenge everyone with a net worth of over $1 billion to do the same. Michael Bloomberg, Carlos Slim, and other members of the 1 percent, I’m speaking to you directly. Yes, I understand the temptation of encircling your body with every cent of your fortune inside a laser-sealed bathysphere and being dropped into the Mariana Trench for a sea burial, or stuffing your corpse and all of your riches into a capsule and launching yourself spaceward to float on indefinitely beyond the edges of the solar system. But I encourage you to only do so with a portion of your wealth and to give the rest away.
I’m willing to set the example. If it requires someone of my stature to take the lead and have only a slight majority of his wealth buried with him under 20 layers of reinforced concrete in a mile-deep hole at an undisclosed location, then so be it.
I just want to be known in death as I’ve hopefully been known in life: a kind and selfless man.
