According to the famous equity market investor Peter Lynch, the key to making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them. If you are new to equity trading or think that equity market is not your cup of tea, read on to discover six rules for investing smartly in the equity market!
1. Don’t buy stocks just because someone you know has recommended it! Before buying a stock, conduct preliminary research about the stock and the company. Read the financial statements and find out about the business, promoters and management.
2. Understand you risk tolerance level or how much risk you can take? Make investment in equity market based on your risk capacity.
3. Don’t wait for a correction to enter the market. More money is lost is waiting for market corrections to happen than in market corrections.
4. Do not panic when the equity market falls. Equity markets follow a cyclical trend and are influenced by many factors. The fundamentals and future prospects of the company do not change just because market undergoes a correction.
5. Be disciplined in equity trading. Create individual stop loss levels for all your equity investments based on the volatility of the stock. When the stop loss levels are hit, sell the stock instead of averaging it out at lower levels.
6. Don’t keep dud stocks in your portfolio in the hope that they will go up one day. Cut your losses and move ahead. Invest in some other stocks which will give you a better return in the same time frame.
Stick to these rules and invest smartly in the equity market!

Where to invest your hard-earned money?
There are many investment options which are available in the market today. But, first you need to understand how to start investing and what to invest in.
Shares:
Shares are a type of security that represents the ownership in a company. Shares are traded in stock markets. Stock investment is a good long-term investment option as the returns on stocks over a long time horizon are generally higher than most other investment avenues. However, along with the possibility of greater returns comes greater risk. In India, stocks are traded on BSE and NSE. Sensex and Nifty are two popular indices which depict the stock market in India.
Mutual funds:
A mutual fund allows a group of people to pool their money together and have it professionally managed, in keeping with a predetermined investment objective. Mutual Funds are popular because of its cost-efficiency, risk-diversification, professional management and sound regulation. You can invest as little as Rs 100 per month in a mutual fund.
Bonds:
Bonds are fixed income instruments which are issued for the purpose of raising capital. Both private entities, such as companies, financial institutions, and the central or state government and other government institutions use this instrument as a means of garnering funds. Bonds issued by the Government carry the lowest level of risk but could deliver fair returns.
Deposits:
Investing in bank or post-office deposits is a very common way of securing surplus funds. These instruments are at the lowest end of the risk-return spectrum.
Real estate:
With the ever-increasing cost of land, real estate has emerged as a profitable investment proposition.
Gold:
The ‘yellow metal’ is a preferred investment option, particularly when markets are volatile. Today, beyond physical gold, a number of products like gold futures and gold exchange traded funds, which derive their value from the price of gold, are available for investment.
