Making Money in the Stock Market
This is a question that has been asked a hundred million times (or more) in the last 100 years, and yes, there have been many excellent books written about this. While this is still a difficult question to answer (else why are so many people still losing money in stocks?), there is really no dearth of high-quality literature and suggestions available for this question.
We hence felt that the best thing we could do was to summarise valuable content and web guides on this topic and provide these in one place.
This page – like all the other pages at BillDoll.com, The Billion Dollar Questions Site - is a work-in-progress and stuff will get added regularly.
Investing Fundamentals
Forget everything you have read that says you can make easy money in the stock market, it is just not true, for if it were, we would all be millionaires by now.
Making serious money in the markets takes some serious research and patience. The following can be considered to be some of the basic tenets of stock market investing for successful long-term performance.
Managing Your Risk
Risk management is the name of the game. This could be as simple as setting a stop loss order. You will see this option in your online brokers interface, when you place an order, you can set a level at which you want to get out of a stock automatically. For example, if you had 1000 shares of a company at $25, you can set a stop loss order so that if the stock drops below $20, your account will sell the shares, with or without you being around. This stop loss strategy will take care of the risks involved in losses on the downside, , and if you take care of your losses, the profits will take care of themselves.
Fundamental Analysis
The fundamentals refer to the financial fundamentals of the company in question. Some of the primary fundamental aspects usually analysed are Revenues & Earnings, and the PE ratios (price to earnings ratio).

Technical Analysis
Technical Analysis (TA) refers to the study of a stock chart, identifying previous patterns and applying them to current trends in order to predict an outcome. Since fundamentals may not be very helpful in selecting penny stocks, techincals are becoming increasingly important for those investing in penny stocks. The most basic of indicators during Technical Analysis are support and resistance levels. You can easily identify the support line by joining two or three extreme lows with a straight line, then project that line to the right of the chart. Similarly for the resistance level, connect two or three peaks in the chart, then project the line to the right. By analyzing support and resistance levels, you can identify favorable entry and exits for stocks. As mentioned, these will be especially useful for penny stocks.
Stock Market Investing FAQs
· How did billionaires such as Warren Buffet make so much money from stocks?
Warren Buffett's secret of success
Buffett is famous for his investment formulae – focussing on a company’s earnings and pay as little as possible, and if the Wall Street trends need to be ignored while doing this, so be it. It is said that he originally started investing in 1965 after reading The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham.
The real growth in the Buffett fortune came from but not only by paying the lowest price, but the highest attention and focus on a company's future value of its assets.
For instance, in 1988 Buffett started buying Coca Cola at about $ 11. Though the balance sheet did not justify the price, he saw the world’s strongest brand name and how this could be translated into overseas sales – factors which were not on the balance sheet. He recognised that the biggest intellectual property asset in Coca-Cola – the brand – was worth a premium. In less than five years, the stock soared to US$74.50. Buffett’s current stake in Coca Cola is in billions (2007 data)
He consistently has made his investors very rich by buying into companies which had great assets such as intellectual property.
So it pays to pay attention to intellectual property assets of a company. But not all IP are created equal, certainly some intellectual property are more equal than others, and identifying which IP is worth more will be a key differentiator to success in investing

The Big Money: Seven Steps to Picking Great Stocks and Finding Financial Security - by Frederick R. Kobrick
In The Big Money veteran stock picker and mutual fund manager Fred Kobrick draws on his decades of success to explain his Seven Steps to financial security in any investing climate.
Kobrick shows investors how to find the high-quality stocks that will make them wealthy. A stock portfolio needs only a few stocks that appreciate in value ten or twenty times, or one or two stocks that appreciate in value a hundred times or more. Kobrick describes how he found some of his most successful stocks simply by looking carefully at the products and services that customers and investors love, and recognizing the great business models that create repeatability, the ability to keep producing success. Throughout the book Kobrick describes some of his biggest successes -- as well as a few stocks he missed.
· If it is just a question of entering and exiting the market at the right time, why are only some people making lots of money in stocks?
Well, it is indeed a question of entering and exiting the market at the right time, but this question does not have an easy answer, that is why!
How do you know when exactly a stock is at a price that is much lower than what it will be in future? How do you know a stock is at its highest price and will declining thereafter? If you know the answers to these questions, then of course you know how to time the markets. But these are very difficult questions, the answers to which will require considerable expertise, knowledge and analysis.
· Is there one sure-shot investment methodology that will bring in big returns on my investment in stocks?
Yes. But very low and sell very high (or sell very high and buy very low in the case of shorting). Sorry to say the obvious, but this is the only method that is always guaranteed to provide excellent returns always.
A few other possible candidates:
· Isn’t better to invest in mutual funds than directly in stocks?
Depends on the type of person you are. If you have the expertise to understand stocks well, have access to research info on various traded companies, and have enough time to do the analysis yourself, you might want to think about investing on your own. But frankly, very few people have all the three aspects mentioned. Even if you do not have all the three characteristics, if you can find a good portfolio manager (either firm or individual) who can do it on your behalf, you might want to think about investing directly in stocks. But please be aware of the pitfalls of investing directly in stocks – unless your portfolio manager (or yourself) is really good, your investment returns can be quite volatile. Good mutual funds, on the other hand, are run by professionally qualified individuals who are dedicated to the investing profession and have access to significant amount of market / company research and analysis tools. As a result, investments in mutual funds are usually less risky than direct stock investments. However, the downside of mutual funds is that it is unlikely you would be able to make windfall gains from investing through this method – which is a possibility if you invest directly.
· Is it better to go with a financial expert who invests in stocks on my behalf, rather than my taking all the investment decisions on my own?
Most times, yes. Unless of course you are a financial expert yourself and have significant time and resources on your hands. But be very careful while choosing experts. Don’t be fooled by people who claim to have made jackpot returns. Ask for proof, and check out whether they have been able to do so in a continuous basis. Look for professionals who have shown good returns over a consistent period of time over those who have shown spectacular results but only for a brief period.
· Is it a good idea to invest in penny stocks?
Investing in penny stocks is most times speculative business, and involves a high degree of risk. It is tempting to invest in penny stocks – who wouldn’t want to be part of the bandwagon when a stock soars from a few cents a share to a hundred dollars a share (or even a couple of dollars a share) in a few months? But such instances have been rare, and getting rarer. If however, you are aware of a penny stock company that has exceptional potential in future but owing to whatever reason is doing poorly now, it makes sense for you to do more research on that company. Most times the big, dusty chunk of stone you picked from the ground just turns out to be a stone, but one in a thousand times it turns out to be a diamond if you are in some parts Africa, Australia, Russia or Canada. If you suspect that a penny stock you know has a good chance of being a diamond in future, please spend more time on it, but do not invest before doing additional research.
· How do I identify companies / stocks that are undervalued?
Finding undervalued stocks positioned to beat the market can be a complex and overwhelming process. You need superior financial analysis and sector insights in order for you to do this on a continuous and consistent basis
How exactly can you go about searching for these attractive securities? As with most treasure hunts, you are more likely to be successful if you first know where to look.
Just look for these hints:
Share Price Stagnation during business growth - does a company exhibit excellent business growth last few quarters but its share price is stagnant?
Strategic Events such as Corporate Turnaround Efforts in a company
Management Change - the quality of top management always has profound influence on the overall performance of a company and its stock price. Look out for companies that are undergoing top management changes.
Are there companies that are best of breed in their area of operation and still having their stocks at low numbers? These could be good companies to explore - at the end of the day, a company's execution capability of its core business defines it business and stock market success. So look at how companies are handling their core operational competencies and how they are allocating capital - are these geared towards enhancing the efficiencies / return of their core operational competencies? If yes, these could be interesting companies to study further.
· Is it a good idea to go short on stocks?
Of course, no one can give one answer to such a question. But, as you will be aware, shorting a stock essentially means selling a stock now by borrowing it from a brokerage house at the prevailing price and buying it later from the market and returning the stock back to the brokerage at the price prevailing at that time ( of course all these happen seamlessly and smoothly). If the price of the stock happens to decrease during this period, you happen to make a profit.
The plus of the short option is that, if you are convinced that a company’s stock price will go down, you can still make money by investing in it, without having to invest anything!
The real minus is that if the price of the stock increases considerably after you bought it, you are in trouble. Because you need to buy back the stocks in order to return it to the person you originally borrowed it from, and if the stock price increases a real lot, you stand to lose a lot of money. Of course, theoretically you can be in very deep trouble if the stock price simply shoots ten or fifty times the price you bought it for – you simply might not be able to find enough money to buy it back, and you have to buy it back! – but these extreme cases are hypothetical situations with low probabilities. However, you need to be aware that theoretically, there is an unlimited downside to going short on a stock.
Some of the books for short selling and shorting are:
· "Tools of the Bear: How Any Investor Can Make Money When Stocks Go Down" - Charles J. Caes · "Financial Shenanigans: How To Detect Accounting Gimmicks & Fraud" - Howard M. Shilit · "When Stocks Crash Nicely: The Finer Art of Short Selling" - Kathry F. Staley · "Selling Short: Risks, Rewards and Strategies for Short Selling Stocks, Options and Futures" - Joseph A. Walker
· What are the characteristics of a well-balanced stock portfolio?
Ultimately, what a well-balanced stock portfolio means for different types of investors could be different in terms of specifics, but conceptually the definition of a well-balanced portfolio remains the same for all: a well-balanced portfolio includes different types of investments, balancing investments with objectives and market cap-sizes. In most cases, some degree of diversification is important for a well-balanced portfolio. The ultimate goal of this diversification should be to help your portfolio get through periods of volatility while still achieving your goals.
