Why at This Moment• Balance between Capitalism and

Socialism• Dominant Capitalism upto 1900

gave rise to Communism through Russian Revolution

• By 1950, balance achieved with China and USSR becoming communistic

• By 1960, capitalism became weak• By 1980, capitalism became

strong, but with Gorbachav, it became stronger

• By 1990, Communism was considered dead

• By 2011, Labour is risisng

• Considered to be the symbol of capitalism

• The present rise is backed by the leftists

• Considered responsible for corporate excesses

• Rendered many a European Government bankrupt

• Corporate Excesses are on the increase

• About 63 alumni of Harvard University behind bars making them suspect as criminals

Why Wall Street?

Corporate Evil• Made the life of the

consumer expensive• Anti-Consumer• Anti-Employees• Anti-Promoters• Anti-Society• Anti-Government• Professional

Managers on the move

• Blown up conflict of interest

Corporate Excess

• Huge managerial remuneration• Manipulation of accounts• Polluting the environment• Anti-social demand creation• Immoral advertisement and

Excessive advertisement• Board Room Politics• Groupism, Big Brother and Yes Boss

Indian Scenario

• The movement is meaningless and hence a failure• Stock market is the symbol of socialism in India as the

Government is the biggest beneficiary from the stock market• Promoters and managers are one and the same• Professional promoters have less role

Stock Exchange: A Misunderstood Concept• A Casino• Making a

Quick Buck• Day Trading• Passion• Identification• Don’t Miss

any Opportunity

Shares: A Unique Investment• Huge Dividends:

Annual, Interim, Special Occasion Dividend, Return of Excess Cash

Requirement for Investment in Shares• A Unique Investment• Need for Education and

Training• Need for a Lot of Study• Life Time Investment• Profit from the Whole

Portfolio and not from Individual Stock

• Emotional Equanimity• Not a Passion for Life

Time

Strategies for Investment

• Make a Study of Securities for a Considerable Period• Buy the Stock, when the market is depressed• Do not sell the shares after achieving a target profit• Ignore the investment counseling given in the media• Ignore the daily fluctuations in the market• Forget any loss incurred incidentally

What should not be done…….• Only saving must be

invested and not by taking loans

• Retirement benefits should not be invested

• No Day Trading and No Speculation

• No Derivatives Trading• Do not spend too

much time before the trading terminal

• Do not take any tips
