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.

To succeed in the business of stocks, learning the stock market basics of the trade is essential. The stock market is a complicated game and knowledge is power when it comes to financial freedom.
The decisions you make can yield unlimited earnings or completely break your budget. While there is some level of gambling involved in the stock market, an educated trader will ultimately achieve success.
Prior to risking your hard-earned cash on the stock market, you need to recognize certain vital factors when deciding which company to invest in.
Consider these stock market basics to learn more about the company you want to buy into:
Check Out A Company’s Revenue
What is the actual amount of money the company makes? This total amount is referred to as revenue. While young companies in their early stages of development may not have much revenue to offer, other companies who have been in the market for a long time may use their revenues to cover costs and losses.
A Company’s Earnings Make A Difference
How much money does the company make? This amount of money is called a company’s earnings. Beside revenues, earnings may be used to cover expenses. Earnings are the extra money taken in by a company. Because investors investigate the earnings made by a company they want to purchase stocks on, the companies with large earnings have a distinct advantage in the stock market.
A Company In Debt Is A Bad Sign
How much money does the company owe? Debt is the money owed by a company, which can be represented in many different ways. When a company is in debt, the money they have will be used to pay up the debit. It is risky to purchase stock from companies in debt because the company is unstable which could result in them declaring bankruptcy.
A Company Should Own Property
What does the company own? The assets owned by a company, including business, money and stocks, are referred to as property. When you are aware of a company’s assets, you can better ascertain their position in the industry. When companies have significant properties under their ownership, it is safer to trust their background. Often people will immediately buy stocks from companies holding a major amount of assets because they are more secure.
A Company Should Show Financial Responsibility
How much does the company have to pay out and what are their total financial obligations? Each company has different financial obligations. When a company has few financial obligations, they are in less danger of getting into debt. Examine the liabilities versus the assets of a company to determine their financial responsibility. A company should have higher assets than financial obligations.
Gambling your money on a company you know nothing about is an unsafe and unwise decision. By simply reviewing the company’s background, you have all the stock market basics right at your fingertips.
To make sure your money is in the right hands, do your research about the companies you want to invest in.
While half of the population of the United States is a loyal listener, many Nepalis are unfamiliar with the phrase “podcast.”
Podcasts have been popular in the United States, and they have the potential to becoming so in Nepal, because they may be listened to at any time. You may listen to your favorite podcasts on your commute, while working out, or while doing domestic tasks.
So, if you plan to establish your own business as a Nepali, you will have an advantage because this market has a lot of potential and is still unexplored. You may get the worm by getting up early. The best thing about starting your own podcast is that it costs very little money. All you’ll need at first is a microphone and a nice laptop.
You can start with it as a side hustle and work your way up to full-time status after it has gained a significant following. Here are some pointers for getting started with your own podcast.
1. Plan ahead
Consider the theme. There will be a theme for the podcast. It might be centered on political debates, or you could give life hacks. Also, consider if you want it to be completely scripted or completely spontaneous. When you choose a theme, you can listen to similar podcasts to gain a more in-depth understanding and better assistance for running your own show. You’ll understand what you need to do to stand out and engage your audience.
2. Be consistent
Once you’ve started, you’ll need to be very active to keep the users involved, or you’ll lose their attention. When Instagram only had 100 users, the app’s founders were more concerned with keeping those 100 users than with attracting new ones. As a result, if you do not update on a regular basis, you will lose users. Setting a deadline and making sure you meet it and release a new podcast when it’s due is the best way to go about it.
3. Keep a track of your audience
On top of that, you can monitor your audience’s response on your social media accounts and construct your podcast around it. You should review analytics data if you want to expand your user base and keep existing listeners engaged. In this case, you can use a hosting platform like Blubrry (https://www.blubrry.com/) to evaluate listener demographics.
4. Do not lose your focus
When your target audience is specialized, you must recognize that you cannot lose sight of them because they have been addicted to your podcast as a result of your targeted content. If your podcast is about how students may make money through side hustles, for example, you should not switch to another successful podcast with a large audience and instead start publishing podcasts about the current fashion trends.
5. Keep a relevant name
If your podcast is about startup success stories, you can call it after the type of content you provide. Because it allows users to find your podcast without having to read the details and then decide whether or not to listen. If your podcast’s title does not provide listeners a clear indication of the topics you cover, they may merely scroll through the list and never opt to click on your podcast. The ideal marketing technique is to keep a very distinct name.
6. Give your audience the best listening experience
Because podcasts are all about listening, it’s critical that the audio quality is excellent. You’ll need a microphone, microphone stand, USB box, compressor, and headphones to make a podcast. You must ensure that they are of the highest possible quality. Tim Ferris demonstrates how he sets up his podcast in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRxVEcbh-Dk).
If you are just beginning, you can use your smartphone for recording voice. Don’t worry! these days smartphones come up with kickass microphones and can do the job very well.
7. Unravel the astonishing details of the story
If you want to make an impact, you need to unearth the most obscure details of the tale you’re presenting your audience. Guy Raz, a well-known podcaster, advises his guests that if they dive into their past and share previously unknown stories, people would be able to relate to them better and want to speak with them.
8. Get feedback before you launch
Inquire of your parents, as well as sincere friends or mentors. If you’re still in college, request that your teachers listen to you and provide you with valuable feedback. This will assist you in making final modifications, and you can honestly treat them as your listeners, using their comments to make changes as needed. Of course, you are the one who makes the decisions here, so you may choose which advice to disregard and which to follow.
Always keep in mind that overnight success is a fiction, and you’ll need a lot of patience to build and improve the podcast you’ve always wanted to do. Make a name for yourself in the podcasting world.
Best wishes!
