Five Steps to Achieve Huge Returns From Stock market

5 most important questions to ask before timing the market to achieve huge returns

by Holistic Leave a Comment | Filed Under: Mutual Funds

“I want to exit my mutual fund to invest on real estate”, one of my client rushed and told me in a confused tone. I asked him why he wanted to exit mutual fund. He is not happy about the mutual fund which is not doing great in the recent times whereas the real estate is doing great. I could see that he is timing the market, I made him sit and advised him not to exit mutual fund.

What? Investing in real estate is a good idea, right? Why did I stop my client from exiting mutual fund? I can hear your questions. Read on to understand this part explicitly.

What is meant by timing the market?

Making shifts from investment avenue A to avenue B with the goal of gaining more returns from avenue B compared to avenue A.

Ask the right questions before shifting from one investment avenue to another:

Think well before you hop! Asking the right questions is very important before exiting one investment avenue. Couple of pointers for asking the right questions:

1. How far I can rely on past performance of the instruments?

Most of the times, the investors end up with a huge loss as they wrongly take decisions based on past performances of the instruments. With the herd mentality, just because couple of friends have gained from real estate or lost by investing in mutual funds, the investors make a mistake of changing from one investment avenue to another.

Never keep HISTORY aka PAST PERFORMANCE as the reason to taking to investment decisions.

2. Am I fulfilling my investment goal by taking this particular decision?

This is the second most important question to be asked before taking any decision. Do you know the Personal Finance Guru Warren Buffet has never invested in any companies in the IT industry? That too, being a long time buddy of Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, Buffet never has invested in Microsoft. Yep, he has a goal of investing in stocks where he understands the business. Let me remind you, IT industry is one market which has been advocated strongly for the past 15-20 years.

This is very important to map the investment decision with your financial goal before implementing your decisions.

3. Am I focusing only on timing the market instead of fulfilling goals?

This is the third most important question one must ask before exiting from an existing investment mode. When you focus only on timing the market, you look at the performances of the instrument in the recent past. There could be various temporary reasons that moves the market graph up and down.If you take decisions based on these temporary reasons, the loss will be huge. This is the key reason I asked my client not to exit mutual fund.

Focusing only on timing the market without any aim of fulfilling your investment goal will lead to taking wrong decisions.

4. Do I have correct knowledge about what I am doing?

The exact knowledge about different investment avenues and an ability to judge is very important. Asking and answering this question will help to:

  • Save you from taking wrong decision based on temporary reasons or current trend
  • Analyse your ability to predict the market appropriately which in turn help to time the market well
  • Understand whether you are generalising the current trend to predict the future which is very far
  • Now, I am sure you understand why I advised my client not to exit mutual funds.

    5. Have I understood the Market Fundamentals?

    Be it personal, professional or investment growth, learning is key. Knowledge is power and information is wealth. Understand the fundamentals of how market behaves in each scenario before taking any investment decision. There is a common myth which argues that the stock market acts and gives out returns in ‘random’. Not understanding the fundamentals is the key reason for some to give out such wrong statements.

    Buying a stock on Monday and selling it on Friday just because it has gone up on Thursday will not help in the long run. Following the key pointers given in this article will help to achieve huge returns even without taking the hassle of timing the market.

    Keep your eyes and ears open and analyse well before taking the key decisions! To get the financial stability and security, to understand our unique Holistic Financial Planning Process we offer

    I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

    I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

Personalized financial planning is provided keeping your short term, medium term and long term goals in mind. They do not pressurize you to purchase schemes of their choice. They provide their input and suggestions and leave the decision up to you which shows their honesty and high principle.

    I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

    This is my first year service with the Holistic Team and I would say that they are very much helpful in creating a financial plan and follow ups during the year. I would definitely suggest them if anyone who is willing to proceed with their savings professionally.

    I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

    I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
