Whenever inflation rate is higher than interest rates, there will be pressure for
interest rates to rise.
One should invest only in companies that are growing at a rate equal to inflation +
interest rate.
Remember that high P/E companies will decline faster in a bear market.
Sell off low dividend yield company stocks in a bear market to avoid further
losses.
It is difficult to predict at what price to sell the stock, as there are many
factors which affect a stock price of the particular company you have invested in.
Therefore, it is better to adopt the strategy of ‘a bird in hand is better than two
in the bush’ and keep periodically booking profits after you have invested,
depending on your actual needs. Keeping a target profit in mind and then selling
off or rotating your money may be a better option.
If you want to invest in small caps, invest only after they turn in the profits. Do
not invest in anticipation of profits.
None can predict the movement of interest rates, future of economy, or stock
market. Instead focus on your investments and their businesses and what is
happening to them. Keep reading a great deal about the businesses you have invested
in.
One should learn to study companies and their prospects from all the available
information one can gather. If one studies these parameters as described in the
book, one may master the science of investment; otherwise it will be like a game of
poker for the investor and his/her returns. In case one does not have the time to
do the homework suggested for companies, then one can turn into investing in mutual
funds.
One should learn to avoid the pitfall of buying a company with cheap valuation but
mediocre prospects. This is a sure way to lose money. Therefore, one should learn
to analyze the prospects of the business one is likely to invest in.
Remember that in the stock market, the profit in hand is worth twice the profit in
the bush. This helps you to book profits at reasonable periods of time to stay
afloat in the market.
