In order to achieve success in share market trading, one has to know when to grab the right opportunity. Timing is very important in making sure that you reap the rewards. You should also make sure to study the market trends carefully so as to understand when the rates of certain stocks are going to go up or down.

Lupin Q2 net profit dips 35% to Rs 409 crore

Drug major Lupin on Tuesday posted a 35.11 per cent dip in its consolidated net profit at Rs 408.8 crore for the second quarter ended September 30, mainly on account of slowdown in product approvals in the US.
The company had posted a net profit of Rs 630 crore during the same period of the previous fiscal.
Net sales of the company, however, rose to Rs 3,178.3 crore during the second quarter compared with Rs 3,116.8 crore during the same period of previous fiscal, Lupin said in a statement.
"Slowdown in approvals in the US and a lack of material launches continued to dampen growth. We continue to invest in research and remain upbeat on the pace of approvals and launches to pick up by the fourth quarter," Lupin Ltd Managing Director Nilesh Gupta said.
The company's board, which met today, appointed Ramesh Swaminathan Chief Financial Officer as an additional director and Jean-Luc Belingard as an independent director of the company for a period of five years effective October 27, subject to shareholders approval.
The company said its US sales stood at $174 million during the second quarter as against USD 202 million in second quarter of the previous fiscal.

Lupin's Japanese business posted net sales of Rs 323.4 crore during the second quarter, as against Rs 345.9 crore in the same period of previous fiscal.

Rupee trades lower against US dollar

Snapping its two-day winning streak, the rupee fell by 8 paise to 64.90 against the US dollar in early trade on Friday. The domestic currency had closed 21 paise higher at 64.82 against the greenback in the previous session on sustained dollar selling by banks and exporters.
The dollar index, which tracks the movement of the greenback against a basket of six major world currencies, stood at 94.51. While evidence is mounting that economic growth is cooling in the US, much of the slowdown appeared to be due to temporary factors, New York Fed President William Dudley said in a speech overnight.
Dudley said a strong dollar was also playing a role, but the economy still seemed to be growing at a healthy clip.
India Ratings expects the rupee to trade in the range of 64.50-66.25 against the US dollar for the remainder of 2015.
However, the readjustments carried out by foreign institutional investors in their portfolios towards the year-end and beginning of 2016 may cause some short-term volatility in the domestic currency, the rating agency said in a note.
"The key reasons for expecting stability in the rupee better macroeconomic fundamentals of the Indian economy among the emerging economies, comfortable balance of payment situation, postponement of policy normalisation by US Fed to December 2015 or maybe to 2016 and healthy capital inflow," Ind-Ra said.

The domestic foreign exchange data will be released during the day. In the US, data on factory output numbers scheduled for release later in the day will be tracked keenly.

How to become a long term investor

By Uma Shashikant
Whenever the equity markets crash, voices that call for the long-term view come back. There is an aura of nobility to longterm investing, and many like to belong to that club. But it is not an easy thing to do. Whatever is your view, if you find your investments losing value soon after you have invested, you cannot help regret the wrong timing.
Since no one knows what is the bottom, and since only luck can ensure you actually catch it, it is tough to invest in a falling market. So what does it take to be a longterm investor?
First, long-term investing is more about ability than willingness. You may have all the risk appetite that is needed, and the fearless attitude to take chances with the market. But if your financial position is such that you have to dip into the money you invested, even before it can begin to perform, it is tough to be long-term oriented.
It is important that you have a regular and sufficient income; are able to save consistently, indicating that you do not need all of the income you make; and have enough assets to back you up if this round of investments turn bad. You may like to take a long-term view, but you won't be able to do it if your finances are shaky. Identify that portion of your income that you can actually invest and forget about for the long-term. Be honest about that decision.
Second, long-term investing is an attitude and a tough one to develop. Many of us who have children like the notion that "they will all be fine in the end," but we do doubt that conviction quite often. We cannot magically become someone else when it comes to money. If we tend to be secretive, suspicious, control-oriented and performancedriven, failure of our investments will keep us anxious.
Even if we are otherwise positive and optimistic, we will hate our inability to do anything when the market crashes and erodes the value of what we have. We may dislike ourselves for the choices we made. We may allow the regret of the loss to eat into our confidence. We need to truly believe in positive long-term outcomes and not be eager to meddle too much, so we do not fix what has not gone wrong.
Third, long-term investing requires a value orientation. The dominant story in the Indian equity markets is about small businesses that grow big and become multi-baggers. In an economy like ours there is always the opportunity to solve a new problem, and do well enough so that a large amount of wealth is created for promoters and investors.
Therefore, investing in growth stocks that show spectacular potential, even if at higher prices, is a very preferred route to investing. Fund managers are lauded for such "finds" that become big winners. It is also the case that we love the run up in price of stocks, which makes momentum investing a favourite. In all this noise of winners, the good stocks that do well over the long-term are not big heroes. Long-term investing needs a strong belief in value.
Fourth, selection is a key process in longterm investing. It is not uncommon for investors to pick up something for a quick buck, and then console themselves that over the long-term things would get better. IPO investors, who began with a very shortterm view of selling off on listing, typically end up holding the stock when it fails to list at a premium. I know of some investors who are still in deep losses, in fond hope of recovery.
If you are holding junk, it is unlikely to become gold only because you gave it time. What you hold has to be good, and you need to consistently check that it remains good enough to hold on to. If you can select good stocks, excellent; if not, you should be able to throw out what is not working. To assume that long-term investing is about picking up a few stocks and keeping them forever, is a mistaken notion. No one is entitled to riches by simply sitting around!
Fifth, the long-term tests the best of notions. In the 1980s, banking was dominated by the public sector. No one expected the private sector to have any role in a sensitive sector like banking. The task of taking on the public sector seemed too tough. Thirty years later, the top performing banks are all in the private sector. No one could have seen it coming.
The best names of the 1980s such as Century Textiles, Hindustan Motors, GE Shipping and ACC are not the leaders or winners today. To be a long-term investor, you need the humility to build a portfolio of stocks with the understanding that some of your stories will not play out. Blind bravado is the trait of an entrepreneur who invests in one stock, and slogs to make it big. Investors, who take the easy route of just putting in the money, need a portfolio to hedge.
Sixth, stories about how the indices moved up dramatically over the years guise an important fact. The stocks in the index have been replaced to ensure that only winners remained. In real-life investing, some of the stocks you own will lose money, and you would not replace them in fond hope of a revival.
The more losers you hold, the worse your performance. If you do not have the ability to accept your mistakes and take corrective action, you can be a long-term investor, but your portfolio may not do too well. It is not easy to select a set of stocks, review them regularly, and take calls on what is not working.

Mutual funds are the best bet for a simple long-term investor, since the fund managers do all this for you. Investing into a diversified equity fund, which has a mix of large and mid-cap equities, across sectors, is a good route to long-term investing. Ensuring that a small amount that you do not need immediately goes into such funds need no market timing. How much of your money will be allocated for the long-term in a personal decision, that critically depends on your income, your assets, your ..
