In India usually people consider stock market a casino or betting place but it is more than that. Majority of people starts there investment in the market on other’s suggested companies. Few of them got success n majority of them have to bear losses.
So by personal experience I can say that never invest in any company’s stock until you done your research your own.Always do your research and then decide
For new investors I can suggest you to invest initially in big known companies which are in profit.
Do your research on NSE and BSE website and company’s own website in which you wanna invest.analyze there quarterly results , there balance sheets and most important there working.
At present there is lots of companies in which we can double our investment.
As I believe “stock market is an ocean, so just dive and find the pearls”….
So just enjoy investing….
