  • Should you (as a retail investor) hold HRL share?

    Should you (as a retail investor) hold HRL share?


    POV: A CA Aspirant ( 3rd year).

    Himalayan Reinsurance Limited is a newly listed IPO whose capital is as below:

    1. Promoter : 70,000,000
    2. Public : 30,000,000

    Only the public shares are tradeable atm in the stock exchange. The maximum shares a retailer was allotted was 180 (foreign) and minimum was 10 (general). All the tradeable shares are in the hands of the retail traders.

    Let’s look at the volume trades so far.

    1. 8 Jan 2024 1st day – 30,866
    2. 9 Jan 2024 2nd day- 10,699
    3. 10 Jan 2024 3rd day – 17,000
    4. 11 Jan 2024 4th day – 37,455

    These volumes are small compared to the listed size.

    These all factors indicate that the retailers have the sentiment of ” Hold is gold”. It’s direct competitor is Nepal Reinsurance Company whose LTP is 661.40.

    Further second quarter of FY 2080-81 is about to end and there is a strong probability of lower interest rate from commercial banks that discourages people to save money (even in FDs.). Monetary review might also give favorable environment for stock market as the Government is in need of money and capital gain tax is a great source of revenue.

    Hydropower sector has also signaled the possibility of break through and bull run.

    “Game Stop” stock market is a great example that retail traders can win over institutional investors.

    So I suggest retailers to hold the shares of HRL.

  • The Use of Stock Investment Tools

    The Use of Stock Investment Tools


    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.
