Greatest Trader

2012-01-27T23:02:00.000+05:30

Seventy one years ago, on Thursday, November 28, 1940, Jesse Lauriston Livermore, entered the Sherry Netherland Hotel where he took a seat near the bar and enjoyed a couple of old-fashioned. After an hour Jesse Livermore got up and went in the cloakroom, seated himself on a stool, and then shot himself in the head with a .32 Colt automatic. How could the man who is still regarded by many as the greatest trader who ever lived go out this way by taking his own life? It just doesn’t match the rest of his life.

In his youth Jesse was know as the “Boy Plunger” because he looked younger than his years and he would take big positions when he traded against the bucket shops of his day. The bucket shops let traders bet on a stock price, but no trade was executed, the house covered if you were right. How good was he? He was banned from the bucket shops one by one, it was like getting kicked out of a casino because you beat the house so badly with outsized gains. He went on to trade in stocks and commodities and did very well becoming a millionaire many times. Unfortunately he also went bust many times. He made his biggest money in the market crashes of 1907 and 1929, it is said that J.P. Morgan himself sent word asking for Jesse to please quit shorting stocks. In 1929 the day of one of the biggest market meltdowns he returned home and his wife was scared that he had lost everything, he surprised her by making the biggest money of his trading career. He ended up with the nickname “The Great Bear of Wall Street” because of his shorting activity.

Here are some of his most insightful quotes from his book “How to Trade in Stocks”

“All through time, people have basically acted and re-acted the same way in the market as a result of: greed, fear, ignorance, and hope – that is why the numerical formations and patterns recur on a constant basis”

“Successful traders always follow the line of least resistance – follow the trend – the trend is your friend”

“Wall Street never changes, the pockets change, the stocks change, but Wall Street never changes, because human nature never changes”

“Just because a stock is selling at a high price does not mean it won’t go higher”

“But careful timing is essential…impatience is costly”

“Markets are never wrong – opinions often are”

“Remember too that it is dangerous to start spreading out all over the market. By this I mean, do not have an “Interest in too many stocks at one time. It is much easier to watch a few than many. I made that mistake years ago and I cost me money”

In the book , Jesse Livermore: World’s Greatest Stock Trader it is said that he loved women and that this lead to the eventual divorce form his first wife. His second marriage was to a women with a very bad history with men. Did this cause his eventual depression and suicide? He rode a roller coaster of extreme wealth and being broke many times in his life, did this wear him out? It is said that he was in a draw drown at the time he killed himself, did he have a hard time living up to his own legend? We will never know but I do know the mental anguish and pain that comes from riding a wild equity curve and I strongly suggest that all traders respect the risk of ruin, when those ten losing trades in a row hit your trading it is much easier to come back from a 10% draw down when you are risking 1% of capital per trade than blowing up when you are just going all in on ever trade. A 10% risk per trade has a 100% risk of ruin in the long term for just about every trading system. I think that was Jesse’s problem he did not manage the risk of ruin, that is how a trader of his caliber and brilliance was ruined financially so many times.

“The only area I may have differed from most speculators, was when I felt I was truly right, dead right, for-damn-sure right-then I would go all the way, shoot the works.” -Jesse Livermore

10 rules for success in business:

2011-10-20T21:07:00.001+05:30

§ Don’t wait for a revolutionary idea. It will never happen. Just focus on a simple, exciting, empty space and execute as fast as possible

§ Share your idea. The more you share, the more you get advice and the more you learn. Meet and talk to your competitors.

§ Build a community. Use blogging and social software to make sure people hear about you.

§ Listen to your community. Answer questions and build your product with their feedback.

§ Gather a great team. Select those with very different skills from you. Look for people who are better than you.

§ Be the first to recognise a problem. Everyone makes mistakes. Address the issue in public, learn about and correct it.

§ Don’t spend time on market research. Launch test versions as early as possible. Keep improving the product in the open.

§ Don’t obsess over spreadsheet business plans. They are not going to turn out as you predict, in any case.

§ Don’t plan a big marketing effort. It’s much more important and powerful that your community loves the product.

§ Don’t focus on getting rich. Focus on your users. Money is a consequence of success, not a goal.

Is this the most sought after job for Next Gen Indians?

2011-06-04T19:52:00.000+05:30

Jobs in consultancies and investment banks are still amongst the most sought-after in India, even after the financial crisis of 2008. Rewind to a decade back and it were the software coders that every teenage Indian looked up to and aspired to be. However, it seems that the next generation of Indians would prefer to toil under the burning sun rather than sit in plush air conditioned offices. At least that is what an article in leading business daily claims. It cites the examples of professionals working with MNCs quitting their jobs to become farmers. Yes, you read that right! Given the steady rise in prices of food products in recent months, farming is the next obsession for a small group of young and educated Indians.

Why do the farmers then commit suicide you may ask! Honestly, we ourselves do not see the young and ambitious agricultural entrepreneurs doing too well in the long run. That is unless the government policies change dramatically in their favour.

Despite years of subsidies and minimum pricing offered for agri produce, the small and marginal farmers continue to remain at the mercy of rainfall. True the educated lot can use research and technology to their advantage. But at the end of the day, inability to sell the produce at profitable rates could make the sophisticated farmers as debt burdened as their illiterate peers.

Hence farming could certainly be a good option for a nation of young and largely unskilled population. Literacy and better technology could also help minimize risks. The certainty about rise in commodity particularly food prices makes the option that much more lucrative. However, in the absence of adequate government policies to secure farmlands and make farming a profitable venture, the scope remains limited. We keep our fingers crossed.

Success in finance doesn't require extraordinary talents.

2011-05-21T09:34:00.000+05:30

What you need instead is a deep seated belief in the school of value investing and the discipline to stick to it come what may. Ruane has laid out four rules that guided his investment career. These are
1) buy good businesses,
2) buy businesses with pricing flexibility,
3) buy net cash generators and
4) buy stock at modest prices.
Clearly, not much different from what Buffett follows. And certainly very easy for others to follow as well.

Intersting 10000

2011-04-01T17:52:00.004+05:30

Warren Buffett... Bill Gates... Sachin Tendulkar... The sheer mention of these larger-than-life demigods fills us with awe and reverence. They seem like glorious stars; so many light years away that we are content just gazing at them.

Most of us have grown up believing that all great people have some inborn talent. As if they were just meant to be that way. Have you ever thought if it would be possible to be like them? If you haven't, you may want to reconsider after reading this. Okay, let's consider what it takes to become a super-achiever.

Achievement= Innate talent+ Opportunity+ Preparation.

There is not much to debate about this equation. These three ingredients pretty much make up the recipe for success. The interesting part is this... Research on super-achievers has led psychologists to this conclusion: Preparation plays a much bigger role in determining an individual's success than innate talent. Wow! This means that even if you're not a born genius, you haven't lost the battle. All you need is a willingness to prepare well.

Now the next question is quite obvious. How much preparation to become a world-class expert? Through extensive research in the 1990s, psychologist Anders Ericsson arrived at a precise number: 10,000 hours. Various studies strongly pointed that 10,000 hours of practice was required to achieve world-class expertise in anything. It seems that it takes the brain this long to assimilate all that it needs to know to achieve true mastery.

Warren Buffet, for instance, is famed for his discipline and the hours he spends studying financial statements of potential investment targets. But his informal schooling in business and investment started much early when he was just 5. As a kid, Buffett displayed a keen interest in making and saving money. He would go door to door selling chewing gum, Coca-Cola, or weekly magazines. While still in high school, he carried out several successful money-making ideas. By age 11 he made his first investment buying a stock. And by age 13, he had filed his first income tax return.

Take our own little master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar. He is known for spending long hours at the nets, always perfecting his cricketing reflexes. Take Microsoft's founder Bill Gates. He met the 10,000-hour rule when he gained access to a high school computer at the age of 13, and spent 10,000 hours programming on it. Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good.

An Executive Interaction

2011-02-20T19:59:00.004+05:30

When I came to know that EIP is going to be conducted by Mr.Pamod Sardar Joshi at first I didn’t know what he’s going to speak about with the topic From “Purani” Jeans to “Armani” suits. As soon as he came he displayed that the topic going to be presented is “SUSTAINABLE ,HIGH-IMPACT LEADERSHIP” I was attracted towards the topic. He started up with a story and gave a note that “When the Sun comes up you had better be running”, I learnt that every person should work harder towards their goals else the competitor would lead you in any way. This is similar to corporate. He gave it with good examples of corporate like how Oracle takes over 23 companies in 30 months.

A Brand is built on the basis of Trust, Value and Consistency in providing service similar to corporate a management student has to build his own Brand. He pointed out that a person shouldn’t have the chalthae attitude in any work he does, meet the deadlines and manage time efficiently. The market in which we are now is at high speed either a person should be able to cope up with it else wind up his work.
“You only learn who has been swimming naked, when the tide goes out” – Warren Buffet
The above quote gave me an insight that student should be prepared to face adversities in corporate.
Every MBA student should have a Quintessential Differentiation; he should have his own way or style of delivering anything which many people call it as USP. He gave more emphasis on knowing the basic concepts of management which is essential for any management student entering corporate.
He came out with what are the 8 future challenge, they are:

1. Development to retain best talent.
2. Anticipate changes.
3. Management of talents.
4. Improving Leadership development.
5. Managing work life balance.
6. Analytic/Demographics/Science.
7. Managing change and Transformation.
8. Managing Globalization.

Also he said about the three worlds of corporate

• Small is beautiful
• Corporate Social Responsibility
• Corporate is king

“We cannot choose our parents or choose the corporate in which we are going to work”.
Some of the blockages which prevent a management student from getting ahead are:

Fear or insecurity.
Not seeing that there is a problem.
Unwillingness to take risks.
Poor communication skills.
Public speaking fear.
Unclear Personal goals.
Low creativity.
Inadequate problem solving skills and
Low influence.

A Leader should have the following qualities

Conviction
Character
Courage
Composure
Competence

“Only Person who always likes change is Wet Baby” - Leslie J. Flanders

At some point I came up with a question that “Why Foreign companies alone set standards, when does an Indian company set standards on its own?” which rang up in my mind. When I asked this he gave an explanation with Indian corporate example like Infy, Wipro and Future group. He also asked a question that “what way do you say that Indian companies are following the foreign companies?” I was unable to answer to this question, this he related to how a MBA should be while interview he should be assertive able to answer any questions with right sense. I also learnt about my weakness. At some point he said that “It is all how we react to situations matters”. Body Language is another key for success in an Interview; a person’s walk determines who he is. “If you are done well here you will do well out” which was said that give more importance in what ever you do in your college, it would some way help you in corporate. For Entrepreneurs he pointed out that they should target the bottom of the pyramid in order to have a good future.

For a person to be successful in corporate he should understand himself and understand the company. He gave a formula:

PQ= fn (IQ+EQ)*SQ

Where,
PQ- Personnel quotient
IQ- Intelligence quotient
EQ-Emotional quotient
SQ-Spiritual quotient

It can be understood that Spiritual Quotient is the important thing on which a person should give more importance along with Intelligence quotient and Emotional quotient. He pointed out its essentiality with examples of Lehman Brothers. Inner Mastery is needed for any person to grow in life. A persons mind, body, heart and soul should be focused on achieving the goals of his life. He concluded with the statement “BE HAPPY”.
“Test fast, Fail fast and adjust fast”

Know About Your Cheque

2010-08-23T13:27:00.004+05:30

Many of us frequently use chequebooks to pay for all kinds of things. But do you know how to read a cheque beyond those first six digits, known as the cheque number? What do other numbers on the cheque say and how do they help the banking industry facilitate the processing of cheques? Here is a lowdown on chequebook and some banking jargon:

First six-digit block: It is common wisdom that the first six digits on your cheque are your cheque number. It is important to note the number because if your cheque gets lost or the money has not been credited, you can know the status of the cheque by providing the cheque number.

Magnetic ink character recognition

Magnetic ink character recognition or MICR comprises nine digits, which are further sub-divided as city, bank and branch code. It works the same way as your home or office address, enabling your snail mail to reach you from far-flung places. But unlike your addresses, the banking address is all numerical, where:

1.City code:The first three digits specify the city in which you have a bank account.

2.Bank code:The next three digits of MICR specify your bank in thatparticular city.

3.Branch code: The last three digits of MICR help in figuring out the specific branch of the specific bank.

The nine-digit code is called MICR because it is printed with magnetic ink, which is usually made of iron oxide. Magnetic ink is used so that numbers are readable even if it is stamped over.

4.A/c with RBI: The third numeral block represents your account number maintained by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The number helps in cheque processing when it goes to RBI for clearance.

5.Transaction code: The last two digits at the bottom of the cheque help in decoding whether the cheque is current or a saving account cheque. MICR also tells whether the cheque is at par. It helps in processing an intra-city cheque as a local one with a faster turnaround time.

6.Drawee/paying bank: A bank making the payment.

7.Payee: The beneficiary to whom the drawer issues the cheque.

8.Drawer:A person writing the cheque.

Inward clearing:It is important to be aware of the concept because the type of clearing affects the speed of transaction. Inward clearing is for the bank that issues the cheque.

Outward clearing:Outward clearing is for the bank in whose name the cheque has been issued. The inward and outward clearing bank can be same if the bank that issues and the bank in whose name the cheque has been issued are the same.

Hedge Definition

2010-07-01T20:46:00.002+05:30

An investment position taken in order to protect oneself from the risk of an unfavorable price move in a security. This can be accomplished by taking an offsetting position in a security that is already owned. For example if an investor owned stock in XYZ, the investor might sell short the same number of shares in XYZ in order to hedge his position. This technique is often used when an investor is unsure of which way the market price of a stock will go.

If you think you are beaten you are;

If you think you dare not, you don't;

If you want to win but think you can't;
It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose you're lost;
For out of the world we find

Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in a state of mind.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger and faster man,

But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

Interview Dressing

2009-10-02T22:15:00.008+05:30

Interview attire specifics for men
• Suit:
A two-piece matched suit is always the best and safest choice. Don't combine a suit jacket with pants that don't match.
• Conservative colors / fabric:
Navy and dark gray are safe and are the most conservative for men. Black for men was once considered severe or overly formal, and may still be considered so in very conservative industries, although it is commonly worn by many. Other color trends may come and go; avoid the extremes. Choose a solid or very subtle weave pattern or plaid (the kind that look solid across a room). Wool, wool blends, or very high quality blends with natural fiber, are the only acceptable fabrics for a conservative men's suit.
• Cost / quality:
You are not expected to be able to afford the same clothing as a corporate CEO. Do invest in quality that will look appropriate during your first two or three years on the job. One good quality suit is sufficient for a job search if that is all your budget allows. You can vary your shirt and tie.
• Ties:
Tie styles come and go. Select good quality silk ties.
Avoid fashion extremes, like character ties, in interviews.
Notice what men in your industry wear on the job, at career fairs, at information sessions, when they meet with clients.
• Shirts:
Long-sleeved shirts, even in summer. Choose white or light blue solid, or conservative stripes.
• Socks:
Dark socks, mid-calf length so no skin is visible when you sit down.
• Shoes:
Leather, lace-up or slip-on business shoes, preferably black or cordovan. Invest in a good pair; even if you don't wear them daily on the job, you'll need them for other occasions and you should expect to get lots of years out of good shoes.
• Belt:
Black or cordovan leather, to match your shoes.
• Facial hair:
If worn, should be well-groomed. Observe men in your industry if you are unsure what's appropriate or are considering changing your look.
• Jewelry:
Wear a conservative watch. If you choose to wear other jewelry, be conservative. Removing earrings is safest. For conservative industries, don't wear earrings. Observe other men in your industry to see what is acceptable.
• Details:
Everything should be clean and well pressed. Suits typically have tacking stitches to hold vents — on the jacket back and on sleeves — in place before the garment is purchased. Cut them off if your retailer / tailor doesn't. And that tag stitched on the outside of your sleeve is not meant to stay there like a Tommy Hilfiger label — cut it off! Carefully inspect clothes dangling threads, etc.

My Heart Burns Like Fire

Soyen Shaku, the first Zen teacher to come to America, said: "My heart burns like fire but my eyes are as cold as dead ashes." He made the following rules which he practiced every day of his life.

In the morning before dressing, light incense and meditate.

Retire at a regular hour.

Partake of food at regular intervals. Eat with moderation and never to the point of satisfaction.

Receive a guest with the same attitude you have when alone. When alone, maintain the same attitude you have in receiving guests.

Watch what you say, and whatever you say, practice it.

When an opportunity comes do not let it pass you by, yet always think twice before acting.

Do not regret the past. Look to the future.

Have the fearless attitude of a hero and the loving heart of a child.

Upon retiring, sleep as if you had entered your last sleep. Upon awakening, leave your bed behind you instantly as if you had cast away a pair of old shoes.

10 Answers You Should Know Before Your Job Interview

2009-07-14T15:24:00.003+05:30

With the competition keener than ever and the economy in a slump, you need to prepare for your job interview thoroughly. It’s no longer enough to offer a firm handshake to your interviewer, make eye contact, and nod pleasantly now and then. You need to prepare a dynamic application letter and resume. You need to research the company. And you need to present a confident image and develop the ability to answer tough questions on the spot.

Although no one can predict the questions your potential employer will ask, you can think about how you’d answer some of the commonly asked ones. Here are ten questions for you to consider and a few hints about how to answer them:

1. Tell me about yourself.
Chances are the employer doesn’t want to know how much you weighed when you were born, when you learned to tie your shoes, or how much you had to drink last night. He or she wants to know how you would fit into the company and what your relevant job experience is. You might answer by asking the interviewer what he’d like to know. Or you might talk about your education, the fact that you’re a team player, or whatever you think might be important to this particular company.

2. Why should we hire you?
Even though five people may be waiting outside, you need to sound confident, calm, and capable. Explain how your experience has prepared you for the job. Emphasize the qualities you think the employer is looking for, such as your outstanding work ethic or the fact that you’re a fast learner.

3. What is your worst characteristic?
Some human resource specialists suggest that you make a virtue sound like a flaw. “I tend to be a perfectionist,” or, “Everyone says I work too hard.” But others say these answers have become clichés. Mention a minor flaw, such as, “I think I’m too outspoken at times, but I’m working on it.”

4. Where do you want to be five years from now?
Let the interviewer know you’re looking for job stability and that you aren’t planning to use this job as a temporary stopping point in your quest for a better position. You
could say, “I’d like to be employed in a small company like this one, where I can learn,
contribute, and advance.”

5. Why did you leave your last job?
Never put your former employer or your co-workers in a negative light. Don’t blame them for your departure. Give a positive reason, such as you left to take advantage of another opportunity that was better suited to your skills.

6. Tell me about a problem you had in your life and how you solved it.
Be prepared with a short answer that shows you’re resourceful. “I really wanted to go to a private university, but my parents didn’t have the money. I went to a community college for two years, worked part time and saved my money so I could attend the last two years at the college of my choice.”

7. Have you had difficulties getting along with supervisors or co-workers?
You’d have to be a saint to have had no problems with the people you worked with. You might answer, “Nothing major. I try to get along with everyone.”

8. How do you deal with stress on the job?
The employer wants to know if you’re going to run out the door when things get stressful. Ask yourself if you thrive on working with deadlines or if you need creative time to function more effectively. Think about how you handle stress and be honest. “I focus on the work I’m doing,” or, “I make time to work out at the gym.”

9. What salary do you want for this job?
Rather than stating a definite figure, tell the interviewer you’d expect to get somewhere in the standard range paid for this position.

10. Do you have questions for me?
Always have a few questions. They show that you researched the company. Ask about a
current issue the company is working on or how their recent layoff in another department
affected company morale.

Remember-- the job interview is a two-way discovery process. By doing your homework and answering interview questions intelligently, you’re striving to prove you’re the person for the job On the other hand, you need to decide--sometimes in the midst of the questions---if the position you’re applying for is what you want to do and if the company is where you want to spend most of your time for the next few (at least) years.

Safer usage of cell phones..

2009-07-13T12:58:00.004+05:30

hai friends,

Now a days people are using cellular phones more than land line phones.The are research's going on the health hazards of cell phones.Here are some precautions while using cell phones:

First, use a headset or speakerphone mode. That moves the phone (and it's antenna) away from your head.
Second, consider reserving the use of mobile phones for shorter conversations or when a conventional phone is not available.
Third, the effects of cellular damage are greatest on growing, developing organisms (i.e., the young), so limit children's use of cell phones!
Finally, in a car, use an external antenna mounted outside the vehicle to move the source of the radiation farther from you!

HAM radio

2009-06-26T11:32:00.006+05:30

hai friends,

Have u ever heard of two way radio,similar to the cell phone we can speak at the same time to any extend throughout the world.Thats called HAM radio. I am currently trying to become a HAM.In India if you want to become a HAM you have to pass ASOC exam(an exam conducted by ministry communications).A HAM radio works even at times of natural disasters like flood,earth quake etc., it is the only technology which can be used at times of disater management.

On the other hand it is a world wide hobby which can bring together different peoples and culturals.People can exchange data about thier lifestyle,culturals etc.We can make friends worldwide through HAM radio.Now-a-days HAM is integrated with internet so that even a person without a HAM equipment can communicate through internet(ecolink software),but u should have passed the ASOC exam.

Pondicherry trip.

2009-06-15T22:51:00.005+05:30

hai,

I love travelling to many places.This time i planed to go Pondy(pondicherry).Pondy is a peaceful place to live.After reaching to pondy by bus,i decided to go to Sunday Market along with my friend.We took a tempo(share auto) to Manikoondu. Manikoondu is the place where the market starts,Sunday market has the name because the market will be only on sundays.We went through the shops.Eden garden is the first spot we stoped,we had softy icecream and then we went straight to purchase any articles.Then we went to a cap shop which had different types of caps.Many cloth shops are present in platform.We then had milk sarbath near Petit Seminare School.The Sarbath was so nice to drink, u cant get this type of sarbath anywhere else. The shop was always crowded.The sarbath had some jelly like substances along with some small white seeds.It was so nice to have it.Then We moved on to beach. Beach is one of the finest destination at pondicherry. We walked from Gandhi statue to the Duplex statue at the end. We then had Curd Puri near the petrol bunk.The next day my destination was Sri Manakula Vinayagar Temple,it gives me some divine power when ever i enter this temple.It is also said that some siddhar is at this temple.I like the lord at this temple.When ever i visited pondy,i would never fail to vist this temple.My trip finished here.

A trip to Parvathamalai.

2009-06-09T09:57:00.001+05:30

Parvathamalai in near to Tiruvannamalai.It would take an hour journey to reach the place through bus.Straight buses are available to Parvathamalai(can go by two routes:1.veralur bus,2.by going to polur and getting another bus to reach Parvathamalai).From bus stop about 3-4km walk is the region to start the trekking to the hill.

Don't take any plastic bags or any materials which pollute the environment.Forest officials are present at a check post ,to check if any such materials are taken.Avoid ciggarates,matchboxes and other flamable substances.Forest officials would cease it if any such is found.

It would take about 3-4 hours to reach the up hill.It is better to take some water and a little snacks to fill our hunger.Take a stick which would help you while going up the hill.Parvathmalai is the only place where you can see different ways of trekking(steps,rocks,kadapparai,ladder).Small shops are on the way up the hill but costs a little high.

On Pournami (full moon) day many devotees from far distances come to the temple at the up hill.The temple is open round the clock(24 hours).
