How to Avoid Loss and Earn Consistently in the Stock Market: An Easy-to-understand and Practical Guide for Every Investor

Nice analysis

Good book for beginners

Wonderful book , easy to understand and apply . It not only teaches about stock market but develops great interest in it. It is worth reading for everyone starting journey in stock market .

This book is packed with valuable tips and written in a straightforward, easy-to-understand language. It also makes a great gift.

I wish these stock brokers, spent sometime, building their vocabulary and diction. Can money making be the only goal in life or should one consider pandering into other areas of developing ones personality ? Ok, I may be getting ahead of myself. For starters, this book may be a decent probe, on a few tricks and trades about the stock market, however, that's pretty much how I sum it up. If you are an serious investor, you should start your journey by reading some good books like "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham, rather than bother to reading these kind of books. The english used in this book, is pathetic to say the least. IMO the book has received "zero" editing. Let me share a few use cases. For e.g. "dig deeper" (p-66) is spelt as dig dipper . On another occasion he mentions that "I had (sic) suggested him (p-167)"'. Further on he remarks that the " the stock price was(sic) appreciated" (p- 68).These are just a few snippets of vagaries, in the authors ability to convey coherent thoughts.It seems to me that this whippersnapper, woke up one day, regurgitated all that he wanted to in the form a book and published it.This book is strewn with spelling and grammatical inconsistencies. After a point in time, I couldn't help feeling pedantic about my own nitpicking. Most of the book is written in a first-person narrative mode, however the author has no clue when his jumps from this mode to second person or 3rd person.I do however want to point out some fair pointers too. I liked the thumb rule of: avoiding companies with "300 crore" market cap and less than 20% promotor share ownership. This was one of the areas, which as an investor, I personally have been guilty of not giving enough attention to, as much I should , because I guess , am lazy. But those pearls of wisdom are few and far in between. For the most part, there, is no attempt to explain the relevance of PE ratio or what's the ideal P/E ratio. He assumes that the reader will be aware of these, nuances. If you already know about PE ratios, then move on to other books, if not then don't bother with this book, because it own't teach you anything, anyways.I don't want to sound flippant by making disparaging remarks about the author, however I do want to admonish this effort, as lacking gumption. If he wanted to write a book, and if this was his work of art, he better do a good job of it, rather than cross subsidising the reader with poor quality verbiage.Read it over a weekend and return the damn thing. Its not a keeper.

Pragmatic, Indian-oriented, cutting the slack. Paper quality is great!

Nice and informative book

The only thing that grows with sharing is ‘Knowledge’ (in addition to ‘Love’ and ‘Smile’)!!!1. Ask a Fisherman whether he will like to teach his ‘customers’ how to fish, the answer will probably be ‘Sorry I cannot else what will I earn if my customers start fishing themselves?’2. Ask a Cook on whether he will like share his master recipe/trade secrets and the answer will be ‘Sorry I cannot else what I earn if my customers start cooking on their own?’3. Ask a Magician on whether he can teach the art of creating an illusion and the answer will be ‘Sorry I cannot else no one will come and see my magic?’So it’s normal to expect a ‘NO, I cannot share the secrets on how I pick the stocks that I recommend else you will start running your own equity consulting firms’ answer from a top end quality equity consultant on how he makes the art of investing so successful!.....…..but when the question is about an honest, genuine top quality equity guru like Prasenjit Paul the answer is different!Prasenjit Paul believes in sharing his trade secrets, his knowledge that he has accumulated in the art of investing. Needless to say through the book he is conveying to all readers what NOT to do so that you don’t fall and hurt yourselves in this unforgiving, un-forgetting but at the same time rewarding stocks market.Priceless tips, quotes, examples, tables, data, ‘personal Must-sign and keep on the desk oaths’ and so much more Prasenjit has mentioned in this book that every reader will surely cherish and learn from.His book, ‘How to avoid loss and earn consistently in the stock market’ is an ideal bible that every investor needs to read once/twice/thrice and as many times as needed until the basics are embedded and engrained.Investing will always bring a smile now to many who read this book and many who will pass this knowledge to the future generations because the impact the book has is priceless!Overall MUST READ asset for your library as an investor!Congratulations to the author, Prasenjit Paul!
