I working for a software company in Chennai and 3 years ago, I was not aware and not connected to the stocks/markets at all. Thanks to my previous company, who gave their stocks to us through their ESOP scheme. Then hesitantly I opened a trading account with a aim of just selling those esop shares and get out. But things happened other way(rest is history!!) and I got more and more interested in everything, but restricted to delivery/cash option and never ventured into options,F&O etc and don't understand them yet. keen tracker of IPOs since TCS/NTPC days and also trade in secondary. I go by fundamental analysis and till this day technical analysis and charts are not clear to me and couldn't get it. For stocks I regularly follow Moneycontrol and Sunday Business Line particularly for their Investment World supplement and for MFs, i track ValueresearchOnline. Finally I convey my sincere thanks to all senior boarders for their tips and adivse to juniors like us time and again.
