Purpose of This Blog

Hi Friends...

A civil engineer by profession and a keen student of our Stock Market since 2003. I had a lot of spare time amidst a monotonous job in a non appreciative environment prompted me to look for something intellectually rewarding and mentally challenging time pass.

I started studying about Stock market and investment. The first Question came to my mind being a Muslim is; whether stock market is Haram or Halal. I found an easy answer convincing me that Saudi arabia has a stock market so it can not be Haram but all the companies and all the type of transactions may not be... Needed to be explored further.

Now Doing my home work with a lot of data hoping to device my own entry exit levels .

My experiences... At the beginning I started believing all the analysts and recommendations. It did not work, the stocks which were daily going up , behaved completely opposite as if it was waiting for my entry to happen.

Then started doing fundamental analysis. Found out my own magic no. Interest and Reserve adjusted rate of Return. I felt as if I am the master now. That did not work always. Started wondering Sometimes my best fundamental picks not performing due to bad technical entry points. When I am fed up with that and sold few days after the same stock used to zoooom.

Then Started reading about Tech Analysis and felt this is the best thing to do no need to do fundamental analysis. The dojis and harami candles MACD, RSI seemed to tell everything I wanted. That too did not work. A combination of all these things done along with the market sentiments only works...

I have a combination of short, medium and looonnnggg term bets. If the price is less by 25% of the average PE ( say 2 years ) x Trailing EPS; that qualifies for attention, provided the PAT and Topline Growth is consistent. Then I wait for entry till the MACD in the weekly chart turns favourable. After it achieves the mid target, I take the capital out and let the profit to run long. Till i enter again. This process populates my PF.

When my PF as a whole reaches new high I will sit and close all my laggards... Am I doing right ??????
