I'm going to assume the question is "Which is more profitable in stock inversting, intraday trading or fundamentals & analysis?".  If thats not the question, just ignore the answer.\n\nPersonally, for all the scepticism and mockery intraday trading (ie day traders) get, I've seen a few that do very, very well; at least for awhile.  Problem is after being successful they get a bit lazy; the stock market changes and their techniques do not work as well; or their stake gets to big and they now are not nimble enough to keep up the great returns; or something else goes wrong and they just lose their edge - but sometimes they get it back later.  Also, to succeed and day trading you have to be willing to pretty much sit in front of a computer much of the day and do nothing but monitor your stocks, plus do all sorts of related activities with discipline.  A boring proposition so many, but some like it, and if you are good at it it does pay well.\n\nFor fundamentals and analysis there are also lots of trick and traps, but if your selection critieria is sound you can probably make your picks and then put them on auto-pilot for awhile (though learning how to make those best selections can itself take a long time).  You can also invest larger and larger amounts with much less problems (look at Warren Buffet, then imagine how easy it would be to day trade 100 billion dollars), but I really don't think the returns are quite as good as for the best day traders and its also somehow not as exciting.\n\nAnyhow, whichever one you choose there is a massive learning curve for both of them, so expect to have mediocre or worse results for a long time before everything works out (and read, read, read on your choice to shorten the curve).  \n\nGet really good at either of those and you can do very well (but quite frankly for every one person who emerges as a good trader or investor, there are many others that fail - you need to really work at it to make it).\n\nBest of luck.

Why are u guys after Prasun? You must be living in a fool's paradise if you believe that a fresh graduate or even an year of experience makes one entitle to more than what he is offering anywhere in India, unless he is a ranker from a premier institute. I have an IIT M-tech happily working for me for 15k, and thirty other engineers ranging from 15 to 20 k.\nTake a check on the ground realities. \nRealize this , for that fellow to be paid 15k, he has to earn that 15k as a profit. Take overhead costs and its 25k. Even assuming he makes a 5% profit on every deal ( damn difficult in trading) , it means this fresh graduate has to do business worth 500k per month.\nLike they say, if you are that smart, why aren't you rich?\nSo what it means is Prasun as a start up will pay him from his pocket till he/she gets trained enough to command a better job and that day he/she will take a walk for a better job and Prasun will do it all over again till he manages to make his business big enough to be able to pay retentive salary.\nThat's the story all over the world for start ups. I know , I have been there .\n\nGo for it, Prasun, I wish you all the success.

I haven't gotten out yet, but I have every intention of staying a mechanic.  I've met quite a few civilians that kept to the same field of work after they got out.  There is good pay involved when you have military training and four years experience at a job.  It's always a good option.

I agree pal. I joined RAF 1977  and we made our own entertainment. Darts, pool, snooker we never had much but we had friends. Now they live in en-suite rooms with showers, internet and cable tv. Best of luck to them but it means the quiet get left behind and a lot end up committing suicide, sometimes accidentally if you get my drift though it is a very small proportion. Our society has gone soft and our armed forces are reflecting this. People did not leave the London Underground and go to their stress counsellor. They had a cup of tea and got on with it. Now, has my pension arrived in the bank yet.

Most airlines are poorly run, and with the increase in oil.  this will sound the death knell for them.  I would keep away from all airline stocks except for maybe jetblue

Frankly, if you are asking people for favourite stocks, then I think it is time you take a step back and improve on your financial literacy and investment education before you attempt to invest in anything. \n\nWho in today's dynamic society can guarantee that starbucks will last forever or at least until you retire? Who in today's dynamic society can guarantee the survivorship of any companies and hence their stock for 50 years until you retire? Who in today's dynamic society can guarantee that the stock market will not crash when or just before you retire? \n\nListening to free, off the street advice is an expressway to disaster and there is never one "God-Given-Sure-Shot-Highway-To-Freedom" Stock. \n\nRemember, just buying stocks and holding on does not make you an investor and does not guarantee you a nest egg... your nest could break faster than you expect and will hardly last your lifetime if you do not have any investing knowledge.\n\nIf you want to just invest monthly and forget about it hoping that someday in the future you will have enough to retire on, then you probably want to look at some investment linked endowment plans with a financial planner instead. The stock markets is no place for amateurs with completely no knowledge.\n\nRead more good books and articles on investments to expand your vision and horizon before you decide to go deeper into the subject. For some of the best investment books that I have ever read, please visit http://www.bestoptiontradingbooks.com and for some of the must-read investment articles that I wrote personally, please visit http://www.mastersoequity.com/articles.htm\n\n\nHope these information helps and good luck on your journey to financial excellence.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.mastersoequity.com\n\n\n\n\n.

I trade 4x myself.\n\nThe first question I would ask you if I was an investor is, "Show me your results".\n\nSecondly, if you are so good at making money for yourself, which you should be to invest others' money, then why are you wasting your time asking for money rather than using that time making money for yourself.\n\n(I find most fund managers' performance is mediocre or bad. If they were good at it, they would spend their time doing it on their own account. So, I will NEVER use a fund manager.)\n\nSo your business plan is rather irrelevant; you need a good trading track record to persuade clients to invest their money with you.

there are stock clubs located all over the country that you can get involved with as a newcomer.  meetings are held on a regular schedule, the group pools money and everybody is given certain companies in different sectors to do research in,  the groups usally vote in what they invest in, and all members share inthe profit/loss of the trades.  other than that take a basic class, start with mutual funds, and keep a few dollars to have fun with and buy stock you have done more than listen to the gossip about

Yahoo Answers is not an ideal forum for your question as trading in Financial Instruments as mentioned in your query is restricted to a very few Genuine Private players in the market who are at the very top of the Pyramid in this particular field; based out of Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai and they prefer not to  advertise.

I have owned ICICI Bank for a long time.  The symbol is IBN on the New York stock exchange.  Here is a link to a portfolio of Indian stocks:\n\nhttp://www.top10traders.com/ViewPortfolio.aspx?userID=13\n\nYou should consider all of these stocks.

Once I wrote in a forum, that they sponsored, and got a reply from Tom asking me if I would be interested in being a regular writer on their team, but I declined.  I used to be a stockbroker with a large firm and I wrote about why I thought the average large stock brokerage firms overcharged for the dismal advice that their stockbrokers, who actually are nothing but overpaid salesmen, gave.  I didn't want to get in the middle of a lawsuit with my employer.  After-all, they have more money for lawyers than I have.  But the threat of lawsuits is how they keep the truth sequestered.\nThe Motley Fools boys seem to do their homework, but in the end, I haven't seen anyone say that their stock picks are better than anywhere else. Learn why someone recommends something.  Don't just place a bet.  In investing there is an old saying, "ride your winners and sell your losers".  Like many other advice columns, they tend to brag about their winners and keep quiet about their losers.

Actually, it is totally up to the company as to how many shares of their stock they wish to issue.  Daniel Drew gained Wall Street renowned for issuing stock in Erie Railroad.  He coined the term "watered stock" after his previous experience of driving cattle to the market and right before placing them for sale would not give them anything to drink for 3 days and then let them drink their fill just prior to weighing them for market.  He used the same technique with Erie Railroad stock, printing up and issuing stock and throwing it on the market for investors to snap up. The technique has not been lost to Wall Street even though Daniel performed his feats during the years 1866-1867.  Today there are many stocks traded on the stock exchanges where there are virtually no net assets, but yet the stocks trade at $5, $10, even $50 a share.

Good luck. I graduated from the Academy of Aeronautics many years ago with a degree and the A&p LICENSE and those jobs were plentyfull then compared to today. I ended up working for the phone company and i recently retired, not to brag, a millionaire. All the guys that got hired by the airlines and aircraft companies lost their jobs over and over again.  I don't know of a single one of them that got to retire from an aerospace or aviation possition. You do, however qualify for most of the better jobs available in any industry..

Reliance Petroleum (RPL) will go production only in Q1, 2008. Till then, you won't find much rise in share price. Its a long term bet you should make. Once RPL goes live, I am sure you are going to make huge profit. I suggest 'hold on' for another ~15 months.
