People are willing to spend money on costly items but are not willing to invest money where money can be made.

Today I got this email from a subscriber who has an iPhone but does not have a minimum of 75000 to trade my strategies.

See this:

This is what he wrote:

==================

Hello Sir,

Hope you are doing well.

I have read your profile and your course details and I am interested in it. But I have concerns as below.
Actually I don’t have ₹75000 as initial investment amount which is mentioned in the details.
Do you have any strategy which works for less than 50k as initial startup?

Sent from my iPhone
==================

My point of living life is very simple. Spend on what you can afford. Live below your means and you will surly get rich in few years by saving money and investing it in right instruments in a few years.

An iPhone costs anywhere between 30,000 to 50,000 – this is not a small amount to buy a mobile phone which you can lose the next day you bought. But when it comes to showing off their wealth people are happily spending money to show off. And when it comes to investing in a business they say they cannot afford the money.

When a Rs. 10,000 phone can do the same job as a Rs. 50,000 phone why in the first place spend Rs. 40,000 extra? Just to show off to your friends? Is that a valid reason to spend money? When you go into debt will this same friends will give you money to help? No. They will tell you to sell your iPhone and clear the debt. Then you will realize your mistake.

This guy wants to trade and make money with only Rs. 50,000 but is willing to spend the same amount to buy just a mobile phone. With Rs. 50,000 a family can buy two mobile phones worth 5000, 1 refrigerator worth 10,000, one LED TV worth 15,000 and still be left with 50000-5000-5000-10000-15000 = Rs. 15,000/-.

Isn’t this silly? Please understand that just making money is not enough. In this costly world saving money is also important. If to save money a sacrifice of only show off is required then do it immediately. Buy things that you can afford easily and you really require it.

If this guy is very rich person then an iPhone is fine like my brother in law has but he is in Merchant Navy earning USD $7000 a month. Then buying an iPhone makes sense. But if you have only 50,000 to spare and you are buying a phone worth 50,000 I can bet you will never get rich because you do not have this habit to control expenses.

Let us take an example of what savings can do to your life.

Imagine a person earning 1 crore a year and spending 1 crore. He is left with ZERO savings in a year. Compare this with a person earning 12 Lakhs a year and saving 6 Lakhs. At the end of year 1 the person earning 12 lakhs will become richer by 6 Lakhs compared to the person earning 1 crore a year. After 10 years the person earning 1 crore a year will be left with ZERO balance in his bank account and the person earning 12 Lakhs a year will have saved 6*10 = Rs. 60 Lakhs.

Lets compound this at just 10% a year. 6 Lakhs invested every year and giving a return of 10% a year goes on to become Rs. 1,20,74,945.71 (Rs. 1 Crore 20 Lakhs 74 Thousand 945.71). In 20 years it will become Rs. 4,18,37,999.64 (Rs. 4 Crores 18 Lakhs 37 Thousand 999.64). After 30 years by the time they retire it becomes Rs. 11,90,35,696.34 (Rs. 11 Crores 90 Lakhs 35 Thousand 696.34). Note that I have not even taken into consideration more savings as his salary grows with experience and age. Probably his savings will reach more than Rs. 15 Crores. How many retire with Rs. 15 Crores in their savings? Very few, even though earning 12 Lakhs a year has become very common in India. Heck even people earning 18 Lakhs a year do not retire with 15 Crores in their savings – they have probably a few lakhs or just 1 crore. So mostly they fall in the category of the one above where I have said that person earns one crore a year and saves nothing because showing off wealth is more important to him than saving money for his and his families future.

Unfortunately more than 70% fall in this category that’s the reason you see old people though who had a good job depending on their kids to live a life. Who is to blame for this situation? They themselves. They realize this after retirement but unfortunately their time has gone and they cannot do anything about it now. You ultimately get what you deserve.

Forget about 10% a year with my course imagine making just 20% a year and saving just 3 lakhs per year on trading. By the time you retire in 30 years this will go on to become Rs. 49,66,90,258.98 (Rs. 49 Crores 66 Lakhs 90 Thousand and 258.98). I have not even counted the extra money that you can keep in liquid funds, fixed deposits or PPF etc.

But I get phone calls on a regular basis of traders losing money since years. All this is because you cannot control your greed and want to make more for no reason at all. Many people keep their phone down as soon as I say 3% return a month is possible.

Let me tell you very clearly making more than 3% a month even 2% a month is a great amount if compounded for years. Calculate the profits had you made on just 24% a year on the money you invested in stock trading and lost. Now add that profits to your losses as well. If the profits was 50 Lakhs and you lost 20 Lakhs then your real loss is 50+20 = 70 Lakhs and add 7% inflation there as well which will increase your losses not reduce. Did you see the results of trying to make 10% a month from trading? This punishment comes from heaven – when there are people working so hard to make their end meet why should Gods give you a 10% return a month trying to work from home or office in an air-conditioned room? Money goes to the one who works hard, is patient and willing to wait for years to become rich not to one who hits hard and keep trading especially intraday trading to make 10-20% return a year. 99% of Intraday traders lose money but still keep trying for years. Then quit trading after losing lakhs and take a job. They were running away from job and here you go after losing lakhs they are begging for jobs.

The whole point of writing this article is that manage your money well. You must make a plan of your investments and stick to it. If savings means you need to sacrifice eating in restaurants then do it. Your future is more important than eating and then shitting the next day your money down the drain. What I am trying to say is if you do not plan your finances well you will suffer one day. Do not let that day come in your life start saving now. There is no tomorrow.

Hope you get the point of this article and start saving. If any questions please ask in the comments section below or reply to this email.

Read this article to know if you can leave your job and live a life as a full time trader or not. Some serious advise there to help you arrive at a decision.

First of all Thanks a lot for a lot of “Thank You” messages for my last email sent on Saturday 20-August-2016. If you did not read click here to read. Very important must read. No you do not need to pay me its free for all.

Today also now I received an interesting email:

Hello Sir,

My name is Parag, and I am trading in this market for last 3 years.

Basically I have accepted trading as my full-time profession. I trade only in stock options and I trade strictly Intraday, for the last year or so I have just started learning not to make losses.

Now I want a real business, I know a little bit about options, as I have read your first article, I only do directional trades with strict stop-losses. but till now it is just some profit, some lose game.

As I have told you I am a full time trader, I always wanted to sell options and started trading with the same thinking, but never ever had that courage to do it. I have never studied options Greeks, what is Delta, Theta, Gamma, Volatility etc. I don’t know but just on the basis of technical I am still surviving in this market.

So my Point is to weather to take trading as a profession by trading in options?

As per your strategies I would need a lot of money in my Demat account to earn money for my day to day living, so is it advisable to start trading with just small amount? Of course I would be trading directional trades as well, read your first article, it is good but do you really think that your options course will really help me to reach my Goals? I am a serious trader.

Kindly reply.
Thanks and Regards,
Parag

My reply was something like this:

Humm why you have left your job? Was there any specific reason?

I am not against full time trading but it’s better to earn from multiple sources, not just one source that’s the reason for most it is important to learn stock markets trading and investing to increase our wealth as just Fixed Deposits (FD) will not be able to beat inflation over the long term. If your returns are better than inflation only then you make money. If it is equal to inflation then you did not make any money just got the same money back what you invested like the Fixed Deposits in banks. But if you make more than inflation then yes you have made money.

So people who trade stock markets and are losing money please add the inflation to your loses also. For example in a year if you lost 30% of your capital invested this year, your real losses are 30+7 = 37% not 30% as in 2016 average inflation is around 7%.

Similarly for the profits you will need to deduct the inflation from the profits you make. For example if you made 37% profit for the year your real profit is 37-7 = 30% a year.

Please note that I have not included the taxes as it’s a different issue. Please consider that as well.

So those who want to turn into full time trading its advisable that you leave your job only after you are making consistent profits from trading for at least one year. If making, it is certain that this is statically significant results and the same will happen from next year onward.

Then calculate how much is required to run your home. For bigger families of 6+ members at least Rs. 50,000 per month is required for smaller families of 4 or less Rs. 35,000 is suffice. Now secondly you need to save for future also I believe at least 30% of what you make in an year. This money cannot be invested in trading as you will break the risk management rules of keeping all eggs in one basket. You can keep this money in liquid funds, stocks for the long term and fixed deposits (FDs) and equity mutual funds as well via the SIP route.

So please add that amount to what you want to make every month or year.

Once this math is done and if you are achieving this goal in terms of percentage on a small amount, only then leave your job else you will trade in panic and lose whatever you have saved till date like I lost. Avoid that situation at any cost.

What I did after I lost Rs. 7 lakhs which was my entire savings exactly when my wife was sixth month pregnant with our first child? I went into deep depression but my wife took control of the situation and asked me to take up a job as soon as possible. Luckily I got two jobs the next day I gave an interview. What a relief. One of them asked me to go to Mumbai but I did not wanted to leave my wife alone so I refused and joined the job offered on Kolkata itself though with a lesser pay than the offer for Mumbai.

At that time running my home and staying with my wife for support was more important not my carrier which I could take care of later as well.

The rest you know – I started reading a lot on stock markets the results of that knowledge is this site itself. So happy that this site is helping many retail traders a lot.

So I have explained above when you can consider to leave your job and become a full time trader.

Now as far as my course is concerned as I keep saying always when this question pops up on returns (I cannot lie to take your money) your profits will be limited to 3-5% a month so now you decide whether this is enough to make you a full time trader. Let me tell you clearly not everyone can perform like Ravi. He is an exceptional trader in fact better than me.

I have no egos in saying some of my customers are actually doing better than me. But are you one of them I cannot say as these people integrated my strategies with their own and came out with a better trading module that is working for them. It may not necessarily work for others that’s the reason I do not share their trades with anyone. In fact I know to some extend what Ravi is doing but I will not share as he is not comfortable sharing his strategies with others that’s I reason I cannot. In fact some people wanted to pay me to buy his strategies but I refused. Honesty cannot be bought by money.

But I do share Mr. Inder’s great trade as a bonus to my paid clients as he was not uncomfortable when I asked him if I could share his trade with my paid clients. He said ok so I share only with paid clients as it is my strategy which is part of the course. He made more than 30% return in matter of 20 days. Slightly twisted my strategy to get that return so I share which makes sense.

Hope all doubts on can I leave my job and become a full time trader is answered.

Thanks for reading. If you have any question please leave in the comment section – your email will not be shown in site or shared by me.

I feel sad when people just want to make more money without looking or ignoring the risks involved.

I get 10 calls on average a day and out of that 8 people (80%) keep their phone down within 1 minute as soon as they listen that from my course the strategies they learn will make them on an average 3% a month. The very next question is can’t we make more, instantly I reply NO.

They say OK and keep their phone down. As you know I DO NOT call back again if you give me a call for the course. I am willing to help only those who have value more for peaceful life, knowledge and patience for making money either in stock markets or in any other business or a job.

That’s the reason I do not call back ever, and will never do to anyone who contacts me for the course.

I want only those people who value the above do my course and those who are greedy and not willing to change stay away being my paid clients.

Let me tell you one simple fact. The best stock investor of all times – Warren Buffett is making a return of just over 2% a month – that is 24%+ a year since the last 25 years. The results? He goes on to become the richest person on Earth. And he remained in that seat for 3 years. This is the real result of giving value to peaceful life, knowledge and patience for making money. Compare this with aggressive and greedy traders trying to beat Warren Buffett – someone lost 40 lakhs and here is the baap of all losers – 2 crores in trading. Hey it looks like 40 lakhs loss is common in India as 2 calls out of the 10 I get say they have lost between 30 and 40 lakhs. And you will be surprised to know that 70% of them are from one part of India. Obviously since some sentiments may get hurt I am not wiling to reveal which part of India.

It is better to hide some truth that may hurt people so not revealing. I am not getting regional biased here – we are all Indians after all. I am just telling you the facts that is all.

Now one of my paid customers asked me a question yesterday that surprised me as he did the course recently. I am not against experimenting but do it if you are highly experienced or when you have traded my strategies as written for 6 months at least. But I agree that some people are seeing exceptional results by doing some experiments on my strategies. This guy is now making more than 1 lakh a day trading my strategies. I agreed that he has made some changes to the directional strategies and doing pretty well, so I am not taking all the credit. Genius people are genius no doubts on that. He converted my positional trade to Intraday and making 1 lakh a day. This is pure Genius at Work and no one can stop a Genius from making money. 🙂

Let me also tell you that I have no idea that how much experienced this trader is who asked me this question yesterday, but I am sorry dude if you are highly experienced as this trader did not ask me a single question before taking my course. He just paid for it. By the way, there are many who pay without contacting me even once either by phone or by email. They are my subscribers and then one day they just pay for the course.

I am sure they do it after seeing all their efforts of making 10% a month is going down the drain. But anyways my thanks to those who start respecting 2-3% return a month coming from the stock markets and enroll for the course. Ultimately one day the situation and circumstances will make you more matured person than you are today.

He asked me a question on my paid strategy as he wanted to change the strike price according to market move. Since this question was on the non-directional strategy which is the easiest of my course I was a bit surprised.

If right he can make 1% more return a month but what he is not looking at is, if wrong he can lose 2% more. Now assuming he is 50% right – his returns will be 50% more in a year than what the strategy makes but losses will be 100% less than what the strategy makes. There you go – final result is making 10% a year less than what the others are making. That is the problem with most traders around the world. All they see is the positive outcome of the trade. They keep ignoring the negative outcomes. It is strange they keep repeating this mistake for years until they stop trading. But by that time they have losses around 30-50 lakhs. Then they retire from their job and call me. How strange and sad.

Anyways my reply was this:

1. Do it if you are absolutely sure else no 🙂

2. Control your greed life is limited 🙂

3. Even a crorepati dies one day what will you do with 5 lakhs extra made in 5 years? Can you answer that?

Now if you are not my customer these questions apply to you as well.

1. Trade if you are absolutely sure of the direction. Else do not trade. (When you are not absolutely sure of the direction where your life is going how can you be absolutely sure of the direction of Nifty?)

2. Average age of an Indian has increased to 65 years. For Gods it does not matter you are rich or poor he will take you away when your time comes no emotions or money involved. Agreed money matters but please do not give it more importance than your own life. If you come to my house as guest in Mercedes or BMW or in a Tata Nano or by a bus – do you think my respect will change for you if you become more wealthy? No. If you are meeting your goals that is great. Then take out 30% of it and no more and invest in a disciplined way in stock markets to increase your wealth so that you have no worries when you retire. But please do not trade aggressively to lose wealth. We trade to secure our future not to destroy it.

3. Ultimately one day we will leave this world and will not be able to take even our bodies with us. So please make a will or legal documentation of all your wealth and tell this to your spouse and kids. In case something happens to you, at least they will get what they deserve else all your had work will be kept as unclaimed income and will be taken away by banks and one day this money will enter their profit books. I am not joking – a lot of unclaimed money is still lying in banks. This is result of people not declaring their wealth to their kids or not writing a legal will. So this as soon as possible.

Thanks for reading hope it has made you more matured as a person.

Since today India VIX is up by 4.28% currently at 14.36 it is a good time to trade Strategy 1 given in my Conservative Options and Futures Course.

Some people are asking me if they can trade the Directional Strategy (a combination of Futures hedged with Options), but since last month Nifty was too volatile, I think its better to wait for next big news to trade it. As soon as big news is coming you can go for it and enjoy the movement – remember that direction does not matter to us. In the directional strategy move only matters. You can make money even if your Future direction was wrong.

Of course, I keep reading about stock markets and if any news is coming I will surly inform you.

Here are some of the business news highlights that happened during the last 30 days.

1. Good and Services Tax (GST) Bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha. I had said this in my earlier post too that it is good sign for the economy in the long term. But short term no one can say. Results can be seen in long term only.

2. Lot of people have governments jobs and the good news is that the Union Cabinet has accepted amendments to the Seventh Pay Commission. Now this will surly boost spending power and increase consumption. This will also boost the Indian Share Markets. FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Group) shares may benefit.

3. Monsoon looks good. This will help farmers increase making food products. Demand being the same imports will decrease so the inflation on food products. Rural economy may improve.

4. A few months back stock valuations were looking expensive but due to GST bill getting passed, it is no more looking expensive. Long term stock investors will benefit. Please invest systematically for the long term.

I hope with this knowledge your can decide how to invest in stock markets.

Thanks a lot to more than 200 of my customers who sent me “Happy Friendship Day” messages on WhatsApp and Email. Here are a few of them hope you understand its not possible to upload all 200+ messages here.

Happy Friendship Day 1

Happy Friendship Day 1

Happy Friendship Day 2

Happy Friendship Day 2

Happy Friendship Day 3

Happy Friendship Day 3

Happy Friendship Day 4

Happy Friendship Day 4

These things makes me very happy as you all trust me and like me as your option teacher. I do not think any other course provider in India is loved the way I get from my customers. How many business owners in this world get a “Happy Friendship Day” message from their customers? I do not think many. So Thank You All once again. Other stock option course providers may be making more money than me but frankly I do not care. I do not tell a lie to take your hard earned money. I tell the truth on what is possible after doing my course. Some people think 3% a month is just too less and keep their phone down. I am ok as I am only interested in people who want to acquire knowledge and trade on their own not greedy people who have no respect for knowledge and still think making 10% per month is easy from stock markets. Let me tell you not a single person on this Earth has been able to achieve this figure month after month for many months. And I am sure not a single person will ever achieve this even in future. If you think you can enter the investment history books please try but sorry to say this – its an impossible path. You will learn only after losing a lot of money. Well this is the story of almost all traders. Everyone enters the markets with great hope – but realize after years of trading and wasting money that its really not possible to make 10% a month every month. But some people still keep trading thinking one day will come when they will recover whatever they have lost in just one trade. Unfortunately that one trade never comes.

No it’s not an uncommon story. I get phone calls from retired people too who said they have lost all their retirement money in trading. Just imagine the situation – I mean after 50 also if you cannot control greed then when will you control – after destroying your full wealth? For God sake, learn to control greed first then trade. Greedy people never make money – forget the stock markets they do not make money in any business. Its only people who work hard, get education, have patience and are willing to take calculated risk make money. In stock trading calculated risk is hedging. Dangerous risk is trading naked. Now chose your path.

Believe me I also want my customers to succeed and you know very well that I help you as much as possible. And when you send me these messages or call me to say Thank You, and send testimonials of success I feel happy and proud. 🙂

There are a few of my clients who are doing even better than me and it does not makes me jealous or greedy at all. I mean there are thousands of students in this world who perform and do better than their teachers in life. Do their teachers feel proud or sad? Of course happy and proud. Same with me.

Is Ravi still doing good? Yes he is and we are still in touch. But he has told me not to upload his any more testimonials on the site. As I am an honest person I cannot. But am so happy that he is now doing even better. Keep doing great Ravi my best wishes are with you.

My Idea of Finance

My idea of finance is very simple – just set your financial goals in life. Earn slightly more than the requirements as per the goals in life. If you are on path and meeting your goals financially you need not worry about money at least. I do not live in a virtual world where most people in this world think more money means more happiness. Really? Then why even some of the most richest persons on this Earth are deeply depressed? I mean they should be the happiest people in the world isn’t it as they are very rich? But my friend except the luxuries of life their quality of life is almost same as a middle class not so rich man. The ratio of rich and happy to not-so-rich and happy does not differ at all. Conclusion is happiness is not directly proportional to the money you have. Neither its indirectly proportional. Happiness has nothing to do with money. Do you think poor people in this world are not happy at all because they do not have money? No its not correct some are very happy some are not, the ratio is similar to rich people.

But that does not mean that money is not important at all. It is very important thing in life. After health and relationships, money comes in. So you should have at least so much that you do not worry about it. That’s the reason you must trade with proper risk management so that it increases your net-worth over time and you are able to meet your financial goals. Your savings must defeat inflation and that’s the only money you make. Currently the inflation is around 7%. So even if you make 20% return a year from trading, your money is growing by 20-7 = 13% a year. Compounded this is a great income that you can create over the years.

Thanks to God I am happy and it does not matter how much money I have. I am happy and meeting my financial goes. Two most important things in life achieved what more do I want? Yes another most important thing in life is health. After my accident I have taken mine and my family’s health very seriously. We now rarely eat outside our home. We only eat home cooked food and buy organic food as its much healthier than normal processed food. For your information organic food does not have any chemicals in it so it’s much safer for our body. However it’s a bit costly but not something that you cannot afford. And yes thanks to Internet we can do research on good healthy food for free and start eating that. Don’t you think instead of spending lakhs in treatment of diseases in hospitals it’s better to spend just 10% of it on our daily food items and avoid that situation as much as possible? Over a period you will actually save money. Remember money saved is money made.

For 14 days I was in hospital and the bill was more than 2 lakhs. Thanks to my health insurance which saved me a lot of money. By the way if you do not have a Team Insurance AND a Health Insurance buy one today. Try to buy it online as its much cheaper than buying it through a broker. Research all companies very well before buying one.

Free Basic Option Course

Refer my last email sent to you on Saturday for free basic option course links. Looks like Indians love free items. 🙂 More than 400 emails received. As you know I do not have any employees I will have to do all the job – so please give me some time as it is impossible to send everyone in a single day.

Some people sent me SMS and some sent me WhatsApp messages. Please note that I asked you to send an email to me telling your name, mobile number and email, not any other thing. So those SMS and WhatsApp will not be answered. Please send me an email if you sent me SMS or WhatsApp I have already deleted them.

Thanks for reading.

In this post you will learn: GST Bill Passed and for sure biggest tax and markets reforms to follow. Read to know what you can trade now.

As said yesterday in my email (not updated in my website) there is a high chance that GST (Goods and Services Tax) Bill will be passed and is now passed yesterday by Rajya Sabha members with not even a single member of parliament voting against it. So now within months it will become a law. Since the GST bill is now passed biggest tax and markets reforms will follow.

People who know me well know that I am highly patient and not looking for or either believe in overnight or instant results. Whether it is trading or anything else. Those who believe in overnight or instant results are big losers especially in stock markets. So the effect of it will be seen in at least a couple of years from now, not tomorrow or 3-4 months later. A lot of feedback and improvements on the way will follow and then results will be seen even on the streets of India.

Remember the reforms done by PV Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh in the year 1991? What happened to stock markets did it zoomed the next day? No it took 2-3 years for markets to give exceptional returns. Why? Because you see markets move up only after traders and investors invest their money in it. If only 1 or 2% people invest a lot of money it will not move up 10% the next day. It depends on majority’s views.

For example today at the time of writing Indian bank is up by 13.88%, but Sensex (BSE) is up by only 0.26%. Does one or two stocks have any major impact on BSE? No. Same with the markets.

I think as the GST bill passing is a positive news, all investors and traders are waiting for the real impact which will take some time to come. Then they will start investing. But here comes the difference between great investors like Warren Buffett and other opportunity seeking traders. Investors like Warren Buffett will invest today, not wait for the markets to go up and then invest. By that time most retail traders would have already lost the opportunity to participate in the rally, so they rue their decision not to invest. While by that time investors like Warren Buffett would have already multiplied their wealth by multiple times and will think of selling and booking profits – while the greedy retail trader is willing to buy.

What happens then?

Yes you guessed it right. The intelligent traders made money and the greedy traders lose. And believe me this continues for ever – as there is no end to greedy traders looking to become rich overnight entering daily into markets.

Intelligent traders who have patience and knowledge are rare. These people make money and the rest lose.

This will continue forever. Which kind of trader you are? Answer yourself honestly.

So what you can do now?

Those who can afford to research good stocks that can benefit from the GST bill and buy these good stocks must start collecting these stocks in phases as you keep getting your salary every month. Choose at least 4-5 good stocks no more and invest the same amount in all without any bias.

Why? Because 2-3 out of these will perform very well, the rest may not. But overall results will be great.

Please do not ask me which stocks to buy as this involves a lot of research and time and there is no guarantee that the stocks that I choose for my portfolio will perform. I am not like other companies telling lies that look I am a genius trader and can help you get amazing results. I just say the truth, whether you enroll for my course or not its your choice but I cannot lie to take your money. But I am so happy to see the results of people who did my course. The real reason is there is strong logic behind my strategies no magic – just knowledge and hedging and it works.

I am just giving you the basic knowledge and very important knowledge of what you should do now as a great opportunity has come in Indian markets.

But the research work should be done by you as depending on anyone for everything is not good. The idea of opening this website and writing my views here is to give the correct knowledge to my subscribers and readers about the stock markets in general and Indian stock markets in particular. Some believe and some do not and there is nothing I can do, as believing in anyone is your choice. I am just doing my duty honestly and am happy about it.

So please I plead you to start hard work now, there is no easy way and short cut to success. Nobody including the best investor of our times – Warren Buffett became rich overnight. It took him 25 years to become the richest man on Earth. If you think you are better than Warren Buffett please try. But I do not think we will ever find a man like him.

At least follow his foot path of hard work, research, patience and risk management, I am sure you will start seeing success. Isn’t even small success better than losing money in stock markets?

What is your view in this? Please let me know in the comments section.

Today is July 16 expiry day for all Options and Futures trades that are for the month of July 2016. They will expire today at 3.30 pm.

It is advised that you close all your July 16 expiry Options which are In The Money (ITM) – you can leave Out of Money (OTM) Options to expire worthless, and ALL Futures trades today before 3.15 pm, in fact if possible before 3.00 pm as after 3.15 pm your broker’s risk management team will close it at market rates and you will have to accept whatever the rates you get. Some of the brokers have automated this system which starts at 3.15 pm.

It is therefore better that you close it yourself. Please note that the Options and Futures derivatives for next month or any other month in future will not be closed. Only those which are July 16 derivatives will be closed today.

So the rest you close if you wish, but derivatives expiring July 16 cannot be traded from tomorrow so they will be forcibly closed if open at 3.15 pm today.

It’s better to avoid this situation so close them yourself to know the results of the trades.

Yesterday I was very happy to receive a testimonial of my option course within 2 hours of sending it to a trader.
See this:

Harish Testimonial 11 July 2016

Harish Testimonial – Results may vary for users

Within 2 hours of sending this person the strategies he replied this:

Sir,
Thank You for sending the strategy.
Strategies are wonderful.
Read all the strategies and have no doubt as a trader. I know this is going to make money.
The strategy 1 is best of all.
Strategy 3 is pure use of intelligence.
Q1: I want to know in how many days on average the Strategy1 are exited in normal market condition?
Q2: Strategy1 can be traded today at current VIX?
Thank You

Usually I get testimonials from my customers after one or two months that is only after they recovered the cost of the course. Let me tell you again that it takes at most 2-3 trades of Strategy 1 only to recover the cost of the course.

And on an average this can be done anywhere in one or two months if you are trading with one lot only. If you trade with more lots it will be recovered in 15 days.

But what made me more happy was that it looks like this person is a hard working man. Believe me people who believe in hard work are the ones who will surely succeed. Those who think there is a short cut and easy way to success let me tell you one thing – there was a time I used to think the same and lost 100% of my savings by speculative and tips taking trading. That was Rs. 7 lakhs from 2007-2010. This loss changed my life and now I work hard not just as a trader but in any work I undertake. This gave me immense experience and knowledge – the result is in front of you. This very site.

Do not forget that I also trade mutual funds and stocks (for medium term) and rarely lose money at least in mutual fund trading. As far as options trading is concerned some of my customers are actually doing better than me – but I do not care. Fact is I hate keep looking at Nifty or a stock movement from 9.15 am to 3.30 pm. I do not think we were born to keep looking at stocks move from 9 to 4. I do not call that a life – I call that time pass. It does not matter if you make money more than me or less but I want to control my time and not let anyone else that includes money to control my time and life. To hell with that money which takes away my peace. My goals are long term and not short term and am pretty happy with the performance. So I want to enjoy my life as well. After all I am making money to enjoy my life not keep looking at Nifty half a day. That’s the reason I never ask those doing better than me to tell their trades.

Money is the means to get an end. I am already getting the ends then why should I care about money? To give you an example if me and my wife plan to see a movie we usually see the 9-9.30 am show (Monday to Friday) in a multiplex near my home. Why? Because our kids are in school doing their job – getting education and we get an opportunity to do what we want and some privacy and time to spend together. This not only keeps our family bonding good and healthy but also saves a lot of money. For example we need to pay just Rs.50-100 for one ticket for the best seat in movie theater which usually costs Rs.200-250 in weekends. Money saved, same great experience of watching a good movie and more importantly my life is in MY CONTROL not in some useless trading control.

Do not forget that my trades are still doing their job – making money as time passes. So why am I not worried? Because I have hedged them 100% why unnecessary keep looking at them or be always in panic? When there is an insurance of my trading capital why should I bother about it at all. Those who have done my course know that.

I hope you are understanding what I am trying to say. Let’s assume you are making 1 lakh a month from trading. Intraday or positional whatever. But you keep sitting in front of your monitor and keep watching your trades to book profits or take a stop loss. So from 9.15 am to 3.30 pm (more for people who trade in commodities I think it’s open till 10 pm. Please correct me if I am wrong as I do not trade commodities and have no interest in doing so.) So whose life is better – a trader who makes around Rs.50-75000 per month but can go out anytime he wants and enjoy his life or this full time trader who is in a panic state of mind most of the day making almost double than the previous trader? Obviously life of the first trader is better.

I am willing to make less – but I will not allow money or the stock markets to take away my precious time which will never come back from me. Let me tell you a simple fact – if I want I can increase my trading capital and make more – but I am not interested. My risk management does not allow that. Money management for me comes first than comes how to make money.

Interestingly most traders have lots of money but they want to make more money. If you ask them why? They will have no answer. My point is if you do not know why you want to make more money then why run after something that you will not use in your life at all? You must know how much money you want and when and work towards achieving your goals. That is it. Anything more will only bring more stress.

That is one of the biggest advantage of my course. You start making money slowly – agreed its small (but 3% a month if compounded is not small believe me – I am an example) – but most importantly you will feel stress free and tension free when you start trading the strategies written in my course. If you are happy with small profits without taking any tension please do buy my course. But if you are looking for extraordinary profits from stock markets every month then let me tell you that its a virtual dream.

Stock markets are there since the 1950’s – so some 70 years of its existence NOT A SINGLE person achieved even 10% return every month for even 10 months consistently. Those trying to make this money actually end up losing 10% every month and within a year all their trading capital is lost. Still they do not learn, bring more money and lose again.

For example this person lost 2 crores trading the stock markets – can you imagine? A fixed deposit in a bank giving 7.5% return a year a good enough to live a lovely life just by enjoying the money earned in interests. But he just could not control his greed and lost a life time amount which many people are unable to save their whole life even with a great salary.

If you are one of those who is losing money trading the stock markets in hope that you will make a lot of money one day let me warn you – nobody in the history has ever done that. Even the best investor and trader in the world Warren Buffett was able to make only 2% per month but he kept on compounding it for 25 years and made a lot of money.

Lots of people do not know that he had an insurance business as well which was making an amazing income. He was dependent on profits coming from this insurance business not money made in stock markets. Hope you get the point – the right mindset gives the right results – wrong mindset will give wrong results.

My course is perfect for the right mindset people. Please do not waste your time and money enroll today.

For my paid customers:

VIX is low you can wait for it to increase a bit or if you still want to trade, then reduce the trading capital. One day when VIX spikes more than 4% enter with rest of the money.

Within a few seconds I replied back with a Congratulations message. This makes me more happy than if someones enrolls for my course. Because I want my customers to make money after doing my course. Their welfare and happiness is more important to me than anything else. After all this is exact purpose of my website. You know what he made more than me in June 2016, still my happiness knows no bounds. I don’t care if my customers are making more than me paying me only a fraction of what some of them make in their first month itself – because it is achievement and achievement cannot be measured in rupees. I am very happy for you Ajay. 🙂

Yesterday my email subscribers list touched 10,000+. Email subscribers only not those who have done my course.

Though this was a good news it was followed by a bad news. An email came from my email list managing company that my per month fees will increase to Rs. 7,000/- just to keep sending these emails to 10,000+ people. Which means 7000 * 12 = Rs. 84,000/- per year just to send emails to these people. 🙁

This is just too much. I know very well that a lot of people DO NOT read my emails and just press the delete button or do not open them to read. It is quite obvious that there is no point in sending emails to these people as they are not interested. So I logged in my account and searched for those subscribers who did not read or did not open a single email since my last 50 emails sent to them. To my surprise there were more than 3000 people who did not open even a single email of these last 50 emails sent to them.

Why should I keep them in my list and pay the price for it? Isn’t it wasting money for no reason?

Therefore it did not take me even a second to decide I will delete these emails from my list. And of course I pressed the delete button.

Do not worry if you are reading this email you are still in the list and will keep getting my emails. The reason is simple you read my emails. Thanks a lot for that.

Still the price to keep these 7,000 emails is around Rs. 4,000/- per month but I cannot delete emails of those people who read my emails. I request you to keep reading my emails else to save costs I have no option but to delete your email. Hope you understand that what I have done is correct.

Also if you have subscribed to receive my newsletters from two or more emails I suggest unsubscribe from that email which you do not open as it costs me a lot to keep them in list and you still get my email on the one you read. There is no point in subscribing from two emails to receive the same email. Thanks a lot.

You know very well that the objective of my blog is to give correct stock market education to retail traders in India so I request you to help me here. Please like my website’s FaceBook page and share it among your friends so that they also learn a lot from the site. Let them decide if they want to do my course or not. It’s their choice but at least they will learn a lot from the site. That will make me happy. 🙂

A note for those who are my email subscriber since last 6 months or more and are still planning to do my course. If you are making good money great, congratulations. But if you are losing money trading what is stopping you to do my course? Do you think making 3% a month is not better than losing money? Or do you think 3% a month is less? Imagine the time you have wasted, frustration you go have gone through all these months or years and money you have lost just to save Rs.5000 on my course fee. Is it really justified?

There is a lot to learn in the course. Please understand that its only knowledge, hard work and experience that makes money. Speculations in any business except lottery buying does not make money. Stock trading is also a business. Just because you have a trading account does not mean you will make money – its only those who are trading wisely make money not speculators. In fact wise traders must be thanking you every day because you are gifting them your hard earned money. Someone has to lose for someone to win.

But the decision is entirely yours. You have already lost a lot of time and lot of money and still if you think suddenly you will start making money, I ask you a simple question – HOW and from WHEN? To become a great footballer or cricketer you have to get good training isn’t it? Otherwise how you will ever learn the game? The same rules apply in businesses as well, even in stock trading business.

Here are the details of my course. And here are real testimonials from over 100 clients who are making money trading my strategies and the best part is they are also happy trading these conservative strategies. Once you know the losses are capped you will obviously not fear trading these strategies isn’t it? You can pay here online in less than 1 minute.

Please remember that you can do this course from your home there is absolutely no need to meet me as the course is done through emails. Now the choice is yours.
