In days past, stock market information was limited and often buyers depended on stockbrokers to try to get the facts about investments. Today there are a variety of stock investment tools to assist modern investors and maximize the amount of information they can find about potential investments and trading activities.
The widespread use of the Internet puts a wealth of information at your fingertips right away. The Internet has facts about many publicly listed companies in the United States. Certain websites provide free research information, which may be rather general in nature but still useful to beginners. Other companies publish in-depth research reports outlining the activities of listed companies. These detailed reports may only be offered through a subscription, which may be an expensive choice for retail based investors. Based on the quality of the research provided about the company, such detailed reports may wind up costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
For simple background facts, stock investors can peruse news articles, analyst reviews and research reports intended to supply fundamental company information. This basic information can come from analyzing previously published financial reports or catching up on current news events regarding the company’s activities. This fundamental research can be a place to start to obtain more information so investors can adequately analyze the data to make educated investment decisions.
Investors can also take advantage of a variety of stock investment tools that offer management or raw data including current stock quotes, index performances or historical price data. Such tools may be purchased from a software company and then installed in computers. These tools assist in gathering, processing and analyzing raw data so the information is more useful to the investor.
For example, an investor can take raw data of the historical closing prices of certain companies and run it through investment software to find out additional information such as the volume of stocks traded on a particular company for a said period of time or the historical price trend of one company compared to an index of other companies. These stock investment tools generate reports that assist investors in developing more effective trading strategies from the raw data they originally had.
Certain stock investment tools purchased from various software companies may cost hundreds of dollars. This type of pricey investment may not be practical for small scale investors looking to make a profit right away. Individual or beginning investors can take advantage of analysis tools on the Internet made available from stock market companies for free to their clients. These tools are also made available for free to online investment clients to help them develop their trading strategies to try to achieve profits.
Efficient stock investment tools, research products and information are readily accessible on the Internet for your convenience. However, it still requires data gathering, interpretation of analysis and careful planning to ensure successful trading. By using some online tools and careful analysis of the data, investors can develop viable trades for long term investment growth.
Everyone is looking for a quick and easy way to riches and happiness. It seems to be human nature to constantly search for a hidden key or some esoteric bit of knowledge that suddenly leads to the end of the rainbow or a winning lottery ticket.
While some people do buy winning tickets or a common stock that quadruples or more in a year, it is extremely unlikely, since relying upon luck is an investment strategy that only the foolish or most desperate would choose to follow. In our quest for success, we often overlook the most powerful tools available to us: time and the magic of compounding growth. Investing regularly, avoiding unnecessary financial risk, and letting your money work for you over a period of years and decades is a certain way to amass significant assets.
Here are several tips that should be followed by beginning investors.

While some people do buy winning tickets or a common stock that quadruples or more in a year, it is extremely unlikely, since relying upon luck is an investment strategy that only the foolish or most desperate would choose to follow. In our quest for success, we often overlook the most powerful tools available to us: time and the magic of compounding growth. Investing regularly, avoiding unnecessary financial risk, and letting your money work for you over a period of years and decades is a certain way to amass significant assets.
Here are several tips that should be followed by beginning investors.
1. Set Long-Term Goals
Why are you considering investing in the stock market? Will you need your cash back in six months, a year, five years or longer? Are you saving for retirement, for future university expenses, to purchase a home, or to build an estate to leave to your beneficiaries?
Before investing, you should know your purpose and the likely time in the future you may have need of the funds. If you are likely to need your investment returned within a few months, consider another investment; the stock market with its volatility provides no certainty that all of your capital will be available when you need it.
By knowing how much capital you will need and the future point in time when you will need it, you can calculate how much you should invest and what kind of return on your investment will be needed to produce the desired result.
Remember that the growth of your portfolio depends upon three interdependent factors:
Ideally, you should start saving as soon as possible, save as much as you can, and receive the highest return possible consistent with your risk philosophy.
2. Understand Your Risk Tolerance
Risk tolerance is a psychological trait that is genetically based but positively influenced by education, income, and wealth (as these increase, risk tolerance appears to increase slightly) and negatively by age (as one gets older, risk tolerance decreases). Your risk tolerance is how you feel about risk and the degree of anxiety you feel when risk is present. In psychological terms, risk tolerance is defined as “the extent to which a person chooses to risk experiencing a less favourable outcome in the pursuit of a more favourable outcome.” In other words, would you risk NPR 1000 to win NPR 10,000? Or NPR 10,000 to win NPR 10,000? All humans vary in their risk tolerance, and there is no “right” balance.
Risk tolerance is also affected by one’s perception of risk. For example, flying in an aeroplane or riding in a car would have been perceived as very risky in the early 1900s, but less so today as flight and automobile travel are common occurrences. Conversely, most people today would feel that riding a horse might be dangerous with a good chance of falling or being bucked off because few people are around horses.
The idea of perception is important, especially in investing. As you gain more knowledge about investments – for example, how stocks are bought and sold, how much volatility (price change) is usually present, and the difficulty or ease of liquidating an investment – you are likely to consider stock investments to have less risk than you thought before making your first purchase. As a consequence, your anxiety when investing is less intense, even though your risk tolerance remains unchanged because your perception of the risk has evolved.
By understanding your risk tolerance, you can avoid those investments which are likely to make you anxious. Generally speaking, you should never own an asset which keeps you from sleeping in the night. Anxiety stimulates fear which triggers emotional responses (rather than logical responses) to the stressor. During periods of financial uncertainty, the investor who can retain a cool head and follows an analytical decision process invariably comes out ahead.
3. Control Your Emotions
The biggest obstacle to stock market profits is an inability to control one’s emotions and make logical decisions. In the short-term, the prices of companies reflect the combined emotions of the entire investment community. When a majority of investors are worried about a company, its stock price is likely to decline; when a majority feel positive about the company’s future, its stock price tends to rise.
A person who feels negative about the market is called a “bear,” while their positive counterpart is called a “bull.” During market hours, the constant battle between the bulls and the bears is reflected in the constantly changing price of securities. These short-term movements are driven by rumours, speculations, and hopes – emotions – rather than logic and systematic analysis of the company’s assets, management, and prospects.
Stock prices moving contrary to our expectations create tension and insecurity. Should I sell my position and avoid a loss? Should I keep the stock, hoping that the price will rebound? Should I buy more?
Even when the stock price has performed as expected, there are questions: Should I take a profit now before the price falls? Should I keep my position since the price is likely to go higher? Thoughts like these will flood your mind, especially if you constantly watch the price of a security, eventually building to a point that you will take action. Since emotions are the primary driver of your action, it will probably be wrong.
When you buy a stock, you should have a good reason for doing so and an expectation of what the price will do if the reason is valid. At the same time, you should establish the point at which you will liquidate your holdings, especially if your reason is proven invalid or if the stock doesn’t react as expected when your expectation has been met. In other words, have an exit strategy before you buy the security and execute that strategy unemotionally.
4. Handle Basics First
Before making your first investment, take the time to learn the basics about the stock market and the individual securities composing the market. There is an old adage: It is not a stock market, but a market of stocks. Your focus will be upon individual securities, rather than the market as a whole. There are few times when every stock moves in the same direction; even when the averages fall by 100 points or more, the securities of some companies will go higher in price.
The areas with which you should be familiar before making your first purchase include:
Knowledge and risk tolerance are linked. As Warren Buffett said, “Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.”
5. Diversify Your Investments
Experienced investors such as Buffett eschew stock diversification in the confidence that they have performed all of the necessary research to identify and quantify their risk. They are also comfortable that they can identify any potential perils that will endanger their position, and will be able to liquidate their investments before taking a catastrophic loss.
The popular way to manage risk is to diversify your exposure. Prudent investors own stocks of different companies in different industries, sometimes in different countries, with the expectation that a single bad event will not affect all of their holdings or will otherwise affect them to different degrees.
Imagine owning stocks in five different companies, each of which you expect to continually grow profits. Unfortunately, cirplusstances change. At the end of the year, you might have two companies (A & B) that have performed well so their stocks are up 25% each. The stock of two other companies (C & D) in a different industry are up 10% each, while the fifth company’s (E) assets were liquidated to pay off a massive lawsuit.
Diversification allows you to recover from the loss of your total investment (20% of your portfolio) by gains of 10% in the two best companies (25% x 40%) and 4% in the remaining two companies (10% x 40%). Even though your overall portfolio value dropped by 6% (20% loss minus 14% gain), it is considerably better than having been invested solely in company E.
6. Avoid Leverage/Margin Loan
Leverage/Margin loan simply means the use of borrowed money to execute your stock market strategy. In a margin account, banks and brokerage firms can loan you money to buy stocks, usually 50% of the purchase value. In other words, if you wanted to buy 1000 shares of a stock trading at NPR 100 for a total cost of NPR 100,000, your brokerage firm could loan you NPR 50,000 to complete the purchase.
The use of borrowed money “levers” or exaggerates the result of price movement. Suppose the stock moves to NPR 200 a share and you sell it. If you had used your own money exclusively, your return would be 100% on your investment [(200,000 -100,000)/100,000]. If you had borrowed NPR 50,000 to buy the stock and sold at NPR 200 per share, your return would be 300 % [(200,000-50,000)/$50,000] after repaying the NPR 50,000 loan and excluding the cost of interest paid to the broker (which is usually 16% and over).
It sounds great when the stock moves up, but consider the other side. Suppose the stock fell to NPR 50 per share rather than doubling to NPR 200, your loss would be 100% of your initial investment, plus the cost of interest to the broker [(50,000-50,000)/50,000].
A margin is a tool that can go extremely bad in a stock market like Bangladesh.
Final Thoughts
Stock investments historically have enjoyed a return significantly above other types of investments while also proving easy liquidity, total visibility, and active regulation to ensure a level playing field for all. Investing in the stock market is a great opportunity to build large asset value for those who are willing to be consistent savers, make the necessary investment in time and energy to gain experience, appropriately manage their risk, and are patient, allowing the magic of compounding to work for them. The younger you begin your investing avocation, the greater the final results – just remember to walk before you begin to run.
Landowners no longer need to go to the survey office to get a printed map for the purpose of building a home, constructing buildings, or buying and selling after the launch of ‘Mero Kitta.’
The Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives, and Poverty Alleviation’s Department of Surveying and Mapping has begun offering online services as of today.
At a formal ceremony held at the survey department on Thursday, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli switched on automated software related to land administration, officially launching the device.
With the aim of providing services online, the department has launched Nepal Land Information System (NeLIS) and Mero Kitta today.
Through the ‘Nepal Land Information System,’ the government will provide map printing, field book printing, and other services to clients right from their homes.
According to the government, the program was started to make survey office services more technologically friendly, hassle-free, efficient, fast, and successful.
The government, according to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, has been concentrating on attracting new investment and technology.
“Both offices are identical. Prime Minister Oli said, “We have changed the way we operate.”
The Mero Kitta program, according to Shivamaya Tumbahangphe, Land Management, Cooperative and Poverty Alleviation, has been launched to eliminate delays at the Land Revenue and Survey Office.
He explained that the Land Revenue and Survey Office’s decision to implement a paperless program is in line with the government’s Digital Nepal initiative.
Teknarayan Pandey, Secretary at the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives, and Poverty Alleviation, stated that the online service was launched to eliminate the requirement of queuing in the real estate sector.
Secretary Pandey said, “The current migration trend must resolve the problem of providing clients with services from every local Land Revenue and Survey Office.” “Real estate transactions can be completed over the internet.”
He explained that for digital verification, you must often be present, otherwise it would be done online.
18 of the 126 survey offices around the country are yet to go online.
According to the government, all offices will be able to provide online services and conduct business by the end of the year.
According to Pandey, the ministry has begun work on making it possible to view the entire history of land on the internet.
Institutional transactions, banks, and even small businesses can conduct business online, according to him.
Prakash Joshi, Director General of the Survey Department, said that the service would be available in the survey offices of Kalanki, Dilli Bazaar, and Bhaktapur starting today. It will be available in the offices of Chabahil, Lalitpur, Manmaiju, Tokha, and Saankhu within a day or two.
What is Mero Kitta? How to get Mero Kitta service?Mero Kitta is a web application that allows you to access some of the services offered by survey offices through the internet from anywhere.
Map printing, plot register printing, field book printing, and field drawing application can all be achieved with the Mero Kitta method. To use the Mero Kitta scheme, clients must have a land ownership certificate and citizenship.
To get the service, ordinary users must go to Mero Kitta’s website and fill out an online application in the specified format. The OTP code is sent to the registered mobile number after the application is submitted. For the duration of the service, the code is needed.
After verifying the service details with the offices, all information about the revenue sum to be billed is collected via SMS.
Clients must have a mobile number and an OTP on the connect IPS platform in order to pay the revenue sum. Payment can also be made via banks using an online voucher provided by the system.
Following payment, a digital copy of the map will be imported from the offices, and details will be sent to the smartphone. To obtain the chart, the client must download it within seven days using the registered mobile number and the office’s OTP.
We spend an already alarming amount of time on our trusty computers, whether for personal projects, school, or work. According to a study released in January 2020 by Hootsuite and We Are Social, the average internet user spends 6 hours and 43 minutes per day online. After a year, the number has risen to 7 hours, or slightly more than two days out of the week.
Two complete days of video conferencing, emails, downloading, sports, and social media equals a lot of work. We are becoming increasingly dependent on our devices as we explore new ways to communicate, learn, and work from home. And, as long as the new standard is interactive, we’ll continue to spend a significant portion of our lives—and a significant number of hours—online.

A share is essentially a fraction of a company’s ownership. Purchasing or selling shares entails acquiring or disposing of a portion of the company’s ownership. The stock market, also known as the share market, is a place where you can buy and sell stocks. In order to raise money, public corporations usually sell shares to the public, but the stock market often trades other instruments such as debentures, bonds, and mutual funds.
Dividends are a way for you to get a piece of those companies’ earnings as a shareholder. While share trading is an exciting way to earn money both actively and passively, it is also risky since investors can have to bear the loss if the company fails. As a result, as a novice, it is important that you gain a thorough understanding of the market before investing your money in stocks.
Here is a brief introduction of how you can participate in the game of stock trading.
Opening a dematerialized (DEMAT) account at one of the Depositary Participant (DP) licensed by the Central Depository System and Clearing Limited (CDSC) is a prerequisite to participate in both primary and secondary market. Most commercial banks, merchant bankers and stockbrokers provide such services. If you already own some stocks in your name, then you can give your DP to dematerialize your physical share certificates into dematerialized shares. The DEMAT account is similar to a bank account which debits and credits the shares you sell or purchase. Most DP’s also provide clients with facilities to check their DEMAT account status online as well.
To get started in the stock market, it is essential to first understand how the market functions. Securities Board of Nepal (www.sebon.gov.np); the sole regulator of the capital market is a useful source for primary information. Its website provides information on various securities laws, investor education, and upcoming public issues amongst others. Similarly, the Nepal Stock Exchange (www.nepalstock.com) the sole secondary market; and its mobile-based application is a great source to get hands-on information. There are many other popular websites that provide constant updates about the capital market such as; Share Sansar and Mero Lagani. Furthermore daily national newspapers, websites of merchant bankers and credit rating agency – icranepal.com – also provide good information.
One of the best opportunities to participate in the capital market is to apply for primary offers in the primary market such as; Initial Public Offering (IPO) or Further Public Offering (FPO). Most companies offer primary issues to the general public at face value of NPR 100 per stock, or at a premium based on their valuations. The risk is lower when you purchase in the primary market as you get an opportunity to buy shares at a lower cost as compared to purchasing those shares in the secondary market once they are listed. Also, look out for opportunities to participate in the primary offering of mutual fund schemes which can be a beginning point.
News about primary issues generally comes out in national newspapers and are widely announced on other media platforms. Once you know the primary issues are out, you can read their prospectus to see their detail information such as; past and projected performance, & management amongst others. You can also look at their credit rating provided by a licensed credit rating agency before making the decision to invest.
All the stocks offered via the primary market are listed in the secondary market i.e. Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE); currently, there are 231 companies listed in the stock exchange. The secondary market provides the platform to sell the shares you hold or purchase new shares from the market. The share price of these listed companies and the value of NEPSE Index changes every day based on total demand and supply of shares in the market.
If you wish to get involved in the secondary market, you will need to open a transaction account at a stock broker’s office. There are currently 50 stockbrokers licensed by NEPSE while there are a few stock broker offices outside Kathmandu. Once you open an account with a stockbroker, they will provide you with a unique ID code via which all the transactions in your name will be executed.
To make a purchase or sale order you will simply have to call your stock brokers or visit their office to place an order, make sure you have the shares in your DMAT account before you place a sell order to your stockbroker. The stockbroker charges some commission as a brokerage fee for each transaction while you have also have to pay a capital gain tax of 5% if applicable while making sales.
If you are still confused and less confident about entering the market or you do not have time, energy and resources, do not worry as there are a number of professional licensed Portfolio Management Companies providing you with a full range of products and services under Portfolio Management Services (PMS). Based on your investment goals and expectations, these portfolio managers develop portfolios matching your risk appetite and invests in the capital markets on your behalf. The portfolio manager charges minimal annual and performance fees while these services offer you the opportunity to grasp the benefits of the capital markets. Moreover, you can also handover your existing portfolio to these portfolio managers for restructuring and further management.
All in all, as the stock market is constantly evolving and getting technical, retail investors are highly advised to seek professional advice and avoid making investments on herd mentality – invest wisely!
