In The Psychology of Money, Morgan Housel shows you how to get along better with money and make better financial decisions. He doesn't try to make people seem like machines that can maximise their return on investment. Instead, he shows how psychology can both help and hurt you. Main Points The real world isn't a theory - the problem is that studying or having an open mind can't really make us feel the same way that fear and uncertainty do. We're not like mathematical equations. Reading about historical events like stock market crashes or how stocks have gone up and to the right over time can teach us a lot, but it's not the same as actually going through them. So be careful. You might think you can hold on to your stocks during a 30% drop in the market because you know that only fools sell at the bottom. However, you won't know what to do until you actually go through a drop of that size. Risk and reward It's easy to think that the quality of your decisions and actions is the only thing that affects your finances, but that's not always the case. You can make smart decisions that lead to bad financial results. You could also make bad decisions that turn out to be good for your finances. You have to think about how chance and risk will play a role. To make it less likely that people will stress how much individual effort affects results: Be careful of the people you both look up to and look down on. Those at the top may have gotten lucky, while those at the bottom may have lost money because they took more risks. Pay less attention to individual people and more attention to larger trends. It's hard to copy what successful people have done, but you might be able to join larger patterns. But what's more important is that even if we agree that luck plays a role in success, we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves when we fail because risk also plays a role. Be kind to yourself when you make a mistake or find yourself in a dangerous situation. Since the world is unpredictable, if something goes wrong, it might not even be your fault. What Buffett Says According to legendary investor Warren Buffet, there's no reason to put our needs and resources at risk for something you don't need. It's easy to make a goalpost that can be moved. When you reach one of your goals, you move on to the next one. The cycle will never stop. Often, you do this because you're comparing yourself to others, and most of the time, you're comparing yourself to someone higher up on the ladder. Someone else will always have more money than you do. Not a problem. It's fine to look for ways to make more money, but don't risk what you already have to get something you don't need. More lessons from the book follow on the next article.

The acid test ratio, which is also called the quick ratio, is a financial measure of how quickly a company can pay off its current debts. Current obligations are debts that have to be paid back within a year. For example, a credit card balance is a current obligation. The ratio shows how well the business is doing financially right now. If a company's acid test ratio is less than one, it usually means that its current assets are not enough to pay off its short-term debts and liabilities. A very high ratio suggests that money has been saved up and is just sitting there, not being put to good use. It's important to know that when figuring out the ratio, the company doesn't count current assets that are hard to sell quickly. How to find the acid test ratio The acid-test ratio is calculated by dividing current liabilities by (cash + accounts receivable + short-term investments). Cash and assets that can be used as cash must be included. There must also be marketable securities and other assets that can be used quickly. Accounts receivable are usually covered, but not in every business. If assets on a balance sheet, like loans to suppliers, prepayments, and deferred tax assets, can't pay off liabilities in the near future, they must be taken off. The denominator should include all current liabilities, which are debts and commitments due within a year. The limits of the Ratio If the company's financial data is inaccurate, it will have accounts receivable that require longer than usual to be collected. Also, it gives a false picture of the current liabilities that are due but won't be paid for a while. A low acid test ratio doesn't always mean that a business strategy that depends on stock is in bad financial shape. The acid test ratio is different from the current ratio The current ratio, also called the working capital ratio, shows how quickly a company can make enough cash to pay off all its debts if they all come due at once. On the other hand, the acid test ratio is a more cautious measurement. While the current ratio includes assets that can be converted to cash within a year, the acid-test ratio only includes assets that can be done so within 90 days or less.

In continuation of our series about important financial ratios that everyone should know about, here are a few more that will help you become a better investor. EV/EBITDA People often use the P/E ratio and the enterprise value (EV) by EBITDA to figure out how much a company is worth. Market capitalization plus debt less cash equals EV. It gives a much more accurate takeover valuation because it takes into account debt. This is its main advantage over the price-to-earnings ratio, which can be thrown off by very high earnings that come from debt, as we've seen. EBITDA stands for earnings before taking into account interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation. This ratio shows how much a business with a lot of debt is worth. As EV/EBITDA is not affected by the capital structure, it can be used to evaluate businesses with different amounts of debt. A lower ratio shows that a company is undervalued. It is important to note that the ratio is high for industries with fast growth and low for industries with slow growth. RATIO OF PRICE TO EARNINGS GROWTH The PEG ratio is used to figure out how the price of a stock, its earnings per share (EPS), and the growth of the company are all linked. A high P/E ratio is often a sign of a business that is growing quickly. This could mean that something is worth too much. The P/E ratio is divided by the expected growth rate to see if a high P/E ratio makes sense given the expected growth rate in the future. The end result can be compared to that of peers who grew at different rates. A PEG ratio of 1 means that the price of the stock is fair. If the number is less than 1, it could mean that the stock is undervalued. RETURN ON EQUITY The main goal of any investment is to make money. Return on equity, or ROE, is a way to measure how much money shareholders get back from the company's operations and profits as a whole. Investors can use it to figure out how profitable businesses in the same industry are. Having a number is always better. The ratio shows how good the management is. ROE is the ratio of net income to shareholder equity. Even though businesses with a lot of growth should have a higher ROE, a ROE of 15-20% is still good. The biggest benefit is when earnings are put back into the business to make a higher ROE, which leads to a faster growth rate. But it's important to keep in mind that a rise in debt will also lead to a rise in ROE. INTEREST COVERAGE RATE It is found by dividing interest costs by EBIT, which stands for earnings before interest and taxes. It tells how healthy a company's finances are and how many interest payments it can make through its activities alone. When comparing businesses in different industries with very different depreciation and amortisation costs, EBITDA can be used instead of EBIT. Or, if you want a more accurate picture of a company's ability to pay its bills, you could look at its earnings before interest but after taxes. CURRENT RATIO This shows the liquidity situation of the company, or how ready it is to pay its short-term debts with its short-term assets. If the number is higher, it means that working capital problems won't affect how the company runs. Red flags go up when the current ratio is less than one. The ratio can be found by dividing the current liabilities by the current assets. Receivables and stock are examples of what are called "current assets." Businesses can find it hard to turn receivables into cash and inventory into sales. This could make it harder for it to meet its obligations. In this case, the investor may look at the acid-test ratio, which is similar to the current ratio but doesn't include inventory and receivables. ASSET TURNOVER RATIO It shows how well the management makes use of resources to make money. The better the ratio, the more money the business makes for every rupee it spends on an asset. The ratio is better if it is higher. Experts say that the comparison should be made between businesses that work in the same industry. This is because the ratio could be different in different industries. Asset-heavy industries like telecommunications and power have a low asset turnover ratio, while retail has a high one (as the asset base is small). DIVIDEND YIELD Dividends per share are based on how much each share is worth. If the number is high, that means the business is doing well. But penny stocks, which are low-quality but have high dividend yields, and businesses that sometimes make a profit or have extra cash they can use to pay special dividends should be avoided. In a similar way, a low dividend yield may not always mean that an investment is a bad one. For example, businesses (especially those just starting out or growing) may decide to reinvest all of their profits in order to give their shareholders good long-term returns. Financial ratio research helps evaluate things like profitability, effectiveness, and risk. Before investing in a stock, you should also look into the macroeconomic environment, the quality of the management, and the outlook for the industry.

Before investing in a company's stock, the financial parameters must be carefully looked at to find out what its real value is. Before you buy shares, you should think about the eleven financial ratios we give you. Before investing in a company's stock, the financial facts must be carefully looked at to find out what its real value is. This is usually done by looking at the balance sheet, cash flow statement, and profit and loss account of the company. This can be hard and take a long time. It's easier to learn about a company's performance by looking at its financial ratios, most of which can be found online for free. This is a good way to quickly figure out how healthy a company is, but it is not a foolproof method. You should think about these eleven financial ratios before you buy a stock. P/E Ratio The price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E, shows how much investors are willing to pay for each rupee of earnings. It shows whether the market is putting too much or too little value on the company. The best P/E ratio can be found by comparing the current P/E to the past P/E of the company, the average P/E of the industry, and the P/E of the market. A company with a P/E of 15 may seem expensive when compared to its historical P/E, but if the industry P/E is 18 and the market average is 20, it may be a good investment. If the P/E ratio is high, the price of the stock may be high. A stock with a low price-to-earnings ratio may have more room to go up. P/E ratios should be used along with other financial ratios to help people make good decisions. PRICE-TO-BOOK Ratio The price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio compares the market price and book value of a company. Book value is simply the amount left over after a company sells all of its assets and pays off all of its debts. The P/BV ratio is used to figure out the value of a company's shares if it has a lot of real assets on its balance sheet. If the P/BV ratio is less than 1, the stock is undervalued because the value of the company's assets is higher than what the market is putting on the stock. It shows what a company is really worth and helps figure out the value of businesses with mostly liquid assets, like banks and financial institutions. DEBT TO EQUITY Ratio It shows how leveraged a company is, or how much debt it has compared to the amount of money its founders put into the business (equity). Most of the time, a low number is better. But it can't be looked at by itself. The debt will be worth more if the company makes more money than it spends on interest. But if it isn't, shareholders will lose. A business with a low debt-to-equity ratio may be expected to have a lot of room to grow because it has more ways to get money. But it's not that simple. It varies by industry, with higher numbers in industries that need a lot of capital, like manufacturing and the car business. A high debt-to-equity ratio could be a sign to the market that the company has invested in a lot of high-NPV projects, but it could also mean that the company has a lot of debt and, therefore, a higher risk of credit default. A stock may be overpriced if its P/E ratio is high. A stock with a low price-to-earnings ratio may have more room to go up. P/E ratios should be used along with other financial factors to help make good decisions. OPERATING PROFIT MARGIN (OPM) The OPM is good at setting prices and running its business well. It is found by dividing the operational profit by the net sales. A higher OPM shows that it is efficient to get raw materials and turn them into finished goods. It figures out how much money is left over after paying for variable costs like salaries and raw materials. The margin is bigger the better it is for investors. When analysing a company, check to see if its OPM has been going up over time. Investors should compare the OPMs of different companies in the same business sector.

Multibaggers describe equity shares of a company that could give returns that were many times greater than the cost of buying them. The correct answer is that these stocks give investors a return of more than 100%. There are many multibagger stocks that are great investments from companies with high growth. Due to their strong fundamentals, multibagger shares usually trade at a discount, which makes them great investments. These businesses have great ways of making things and good ways of running them. Such shares might be in high demand on the market because they show that a company is good at research and development. Companies that own these kinds of shares can grow quickly. How can you find a multibagger? Before you invest in a company, think about the following to find shares that will make you money. The amount of debt that the company in question takes on must be reasonable. Different industries have different ideas of what is reasonable, but in general, debt shouldn't be more than 30% of the value of equity. It's important to look at how the company has done in the past because that can show if its revenue is likely to grow slowly or not. The operations of a company may be easy to scale up, which could make its shares go up in value by a lot. It can be helpful to know how much money the business makes and where that money comes from. A company's operations may also be affected by whether or not its management, business model, or organisational structure has changed in a big way. How important multibaggers are The Best Multibagger Due to the huge returns they offer, stocks are known for helping people make a lot of money. But you have to buy a lot of these shares if you want to invest in them and make money. This means that if they lose money, it could have a very bad effect on the world. These stocks could also get caught in an economic bubble for a short time. But when the bubble pops, investors could lose a lot of money. Multibagger stocks may not be the best choice for people who are new to trading stocks and don't have much extra money. They might be better off putting their money into mutual funds. Alternatives to multibaggers Mutual funds offer their clients a diverse portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities. These portfolios are managed by experts and don't cost much for investors. There are different kinds of mutual funds that take into account different things, like the kinds of assets they invest in, their goals, and the returns they want. A big chunk of the money in employer-sponsored retirement plans comes from mutual funds. It's important to remember that investors in mutual funds pay annual fees, which are sometimes called "expense ratios." These things could change the total returns. In conclusion People find it easier to invest in the stock market now that they can buy and sell mutual funds online. Before making an online investment in a mutual fund, investors must do a lot of research. The Internet can be a good place to find information about mutual funds that you can invest in right away.

When it comes to financial ratios, there is no such thing as the best measure. Each ratio has its own advantages and disadvantages. Two of the most common ratios are the Return on Equity (ROE) and the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). The first is valuable from the point of view of equity shareholders, while the second is important from the point of view of how a company uses its capital. First, let's explain the difference between ROE and ROCE. When comparing return on capital to return on capital employed as a way to judge a company, which is the better statistic? ROE or ROCE? Which is better? First, let's look more closely at how ROE and ROCE are used. ROE Return on equity is one of the most popular ways to figure out how much money shareholders made (ROE). When you put money into an investment, you want to know how much money it is making. Shareholders get dividends out of the company's profits as they come in. After paying dividends, any money left over is added to the business's net worth. ROE is important because it shows investors that the money that is being put back into the business is still making a good return. The business can do one of two things with the money it makes. First of all, by giving dividends to shareholders, it reduces the company's wealth. The second plan is to put the money back into the business for internal use. If a company decides to reinvest profits instead of giving them out as dividends, it must show a strong return on equity (ROE) to support this decision. ROE is very vulnerable because the business needs capital and depends on capital assets. For example, telecommunications and oil, which require a lot of capital, tend to have low ROEs. On the other hand, information technology and fast-moving consumer goods have a better return on equity and need less capital. ROE and P/E ratios, which are used to value stocks, usually go together well. Most of the time, sectors with higher ROEs have higher P/E ratios. To put it another way, most FMCG companies in India are worth more than mining, metals, telecom, and oil extraction companies because they have more assets. Companies with a high return on equity usually have few assets and little debt. ROE is calculated by dividing net income by net worth (Equity) The company's net worth is made up of its base equity capital and its free reserves, which were made with money from the company's profits. ROE not only measures how much value the company leaves for its shareholders, but it also measures how well the organisation uses the profits that are put back into the business. ROCE Before you can understand what ROCE is, you have to know what ROE is not. ROE only looks at returns from the point of view of equity shareholders. But there are also other people who have a stake in the company, such as lenders, bond and debenture holders, etc. We need to know how much money the company makes for its owners. You could say that these people have something to gain. That's great, but how do I decide if I want to buy the debt of a company or not? This is done by looking at the business's ROCE. The ROCE ratio shows how much a company makes from its operations compared to how much capital it uses. What is operational profits? It shows how much money was made after depreciation but before interest and taxes. Even if you say that depreciation is not a cost, the tax shelter from depreciation will be used to make up for it. In that way, it is a cost of doing business. When we talk about capital used, both long-term debt and equity are included. There are two ways to look at the use of capital. First, equity, free reserves, and long-term loans can all be thought of as long-term sources of funding. Another option is to look at the total assets that are not covered by current liabilities (total assets – current liabilities). The following can be used to model ROCE: EBIT + ROCE = Earnings Before Interest and Taxes + Return on Capital Employed (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) The numerator is the company's operating profits, and the denominator is its long-term capital in the form of equity and debt. In light of the ROE, how should the ROCE be understood? Let's look at a really interesting case. Which measure of return, ROE or ROCE, is better? The main point is that from the point of view of shareholders and figuring out where the P/E Ratio is going, ROE is more important. But when you look at the company as a whole, ROCE is better.

The letters "EBITA" are important in the financial world today. Before investing in a company, investors look at its EBITA to see how effective it is, how much money it makes now, and how much it could make in the future. Because of this, knowing what EBITA means is very important when making predictions about a company. What Does "EBITA" Stand for? Investors often use the term "Earnings before interest, taxes, and amortisation," which is written as "EBITA." You should know how investors use the term "EBITA" so that you can give a better explanation for the important parameter. EBITA is useful for investors because it lets them compare different companies. Also, these comparisons are made between companies that work in the same industry. When investors want to figure out how well a company has done over time, they can use EBITA to get an accurate picture of how it makes money (and profit-making ability). What function does EBITA serve? When investors want to put money into a company by buying its stocks or shares, they look at its EBITA. This is the company's net income before income, taxes, and amortisation are taken out. EBITA shows a company's true profit without taking into account the cost of financing. So, it gives stockholders an accurate picture of how much money a company makes and how well it runs. So, based on these factors, it tells investors whether or not they should buy the stock. This shows why EBITA is important on the stock market and answers the question "What is EBITA on the stock market?" As EBITA suggests, you can learn about a company's creditworthiness which can be found in major websites like NSE India. Before you put money into online trading, you should figure out your EBITA. In the stock market, what is an EBITA? Several things are taken into account when figuring out a company's net profit. These include investment income and expenses, loan interest, taxes, depreciation, etc. But they don't show directly how successful a company is. People who buy a lot of shares in a company can use the EBITA metric to decide whether or not to invest if the company consistently does well. This means that the share price may go up because the company's future looks good.

Indians have always liked gold a lot, and this has been true for a long time. India didn't get its first gold exchange-traded fund until 2007, though (Gold BeES). Gold is the asset that these ETFs are based on. Gold ETFs also give you a way to invest in the gold market in India. And this Diwali, when it is considered auspicious to invest especially in gold, you can buy its ETF on the share market with your Zebu trading account. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for gold, also called gold ETFs, are open-ended mutual fund plans based on the price of gold, which changes all the time. There are a lot of costs involved in making real gold. Gold ETFs are a way for investors to get into the gold market. They are a great choice for long-term investors who want to beat inflation. Gold is also a safer investment than stocks because it doesn't change as much. Because of this, it gives you the chance to invest in gold and trade stocks. Some fund companies make money by buying and selling gold bullion. Because of this, they have to keep a close eye on the market. The price of real gold has a straight-line effect on how much gold ETFs are worth. Not only do they not skimp on purity, but they also make sure it is always available everywhere in the country. Who should buy gold exchange-traded funds? Gold ETFs could be a good choice for investors who want to add exposure to the gold market to their portfolios. It's a low-risk investment that careful investors should look into. The money is used to buy standard gold bullion that is 99.5% pure. Gold ETFs are a low-risk investment, even though they are bought and sold on stock exchanges. People can buy gold ETFs instead of real gold if they don't want to pay money to store it or pay extra taxes. What Gold ETFs are and what they offer Flexibility You can buy gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) online and put them in your Demat account. The asset management company buys and sells them on a stock exchange (AMC). Even in the Demat format, gold ETFs act a lot like real gold. Liquidity Gold ETFs are very liquid because they can be traded on the stock market at the going rate during a trading session. Also, transaction costs, such as broker fees and government taxes, are lower than with real gold. Smaller capital requirement When you go into a shop, you will need a lot of money to buy gold. When you buy and sell gold ETFs, on the other hand, you can choose how much you want to buy and sell. It's easy to take part in the gold market Gold exchange-traded funds give investors access to the open, successful, and safe gold market (ETFs). Also, they have a lot of cash on hand because gold is easy and quick to exchange. Long-term investment Gold ETFs are not subject to a wealth tax like real gold is. Safety and storage are also not issues with a Demat account. Because of this, you can keep your ETFs for as long as you want. Tax-efficiency Gold ETFs are a tax-friendly way to store gold because the profits they make are taxed as long-term capital gains. Still, sales tax, VAT, or a tax on wealth won't make things harder. Trading on a platform (NSE) Investors in gold ETFs can trade in a clear way on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), which is a stock exchange platform. Easy transactions You can use it as security for loans and list it on the stock exchange to buy and sell it. Since there are no costs to enter or leave, transactions go more quickly and smoothly. Risk elements The NAV, or net asset value, of a gold ETF can go up or down with the market, just like any other stock fund. In a similar way, other costs, such as the fee for managing the fund, can also change the results. This Diwali, if you are interested in investing in Gold, open a Zebu trading account and start investing today. It only takes 5 minutes.

Options for investing this Diwali: There are many ways to invest, from corporate bonds and gold to stocks and index funds, which may help you build wealth and be financially stable in the long run. During Diwali, lights are used to celebrate, and Goddess Lakshmi stands for wealth. During the Samvat year, it is smart to make plans for money and lay the groundwork for financial stability (the Hindu New Year). People can build wealth and plan for their financial future in many ways, from buying gold to buying stocks. The primary market Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) They are great ways to invest for the long term. After a short period of calm, the market for initial public offerings (IPOs) has recently exploded. As the economy and business growth continue to rise, many businesses will use the primary markets to raise money and list their subsidiaries or verticals. Equity Long-term returns from stocks have always been better than short-term changes in the economy and market. They may also do better than other asset groups in the long run. Value investing is a good place to start. Value investors are like stock scouts because they look for cheap companies or stocks that other market participants haven't found yet. Instead of buying stocks, they put their money into businesses. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and Warren Buffet are two examples of value investors. Investing in stocks with high dividends could also be a good idea, especially when the market is very volatile. Some Indian businesses are known for giving out attractive dividends. Since they are still stocks, high-dividend stocks still have the chance to go up in value. Index funds Now is a good time to start investing with them Around Diwali, and index funds have been known to give better long-term returns. Since the market can go up and down and there is a real risk of losing money, and if you don't know much about the market, you may not want to invest in stocks. Here are index funds. An index fund is a type of mutual fund that looks like the portfolio of an index. For example, a Nifty index fund would track the NSE Nifty index and hold a mix of the 50 stocks that make up the Nifty. The results of an index fund would be similar to those of the index it tracks. So, asset allocation with index funds gives you diversification, lowers risks, and increases long-term returns. Corporate bonds Corporate bonds are a good choice for investors who don't want to take too much risk and want a stable way to make money and good returns in a time when fixed deposit rates are going down. These bonds are made by both private and public businesses. Investors should only choose companies with a good reputation, a long history of paying their bills, and a high credit score. Gold Gold has been one of the best investments this year. It has gained more than 30%. Gold is seen as a safe investment option because it tends to do well when things are uncertain. Gold is likely to keep its shine for a long time, since the Covid19 pandemic shows no signs of stopping and geopolitical problems in India's region and around the world are getting worse. Gold is also a good way to protect against inflation. During the Dhanteras celebration, it is said to be lucky to buy gold. If you would like to open a Zebu trading account and start investing in any of these instruments, please get in touch with us today.

The Hindu calendar says that the Festival of Lights, or Diwali, is a lucky time. It shows that good wins over bad, that knowledge wins over ignorance, and that light wins over darkness. Diwali has a lot of different traditions, rituals, and beliefs that go along with it, just like any other religious holiday. One of these is Muhurat trade. Today, we're going to talk about this tradition and tell you everything you need to know about it. What is Muhurat Trading? Before we answer the question, "What is Muhurat Trading?", let's take a look at the word "Muhurat." The word "Muhurat" means a fortunate time. Hindu traditions say that muhurat is a time when the planets are in a good position to make sure success. A lot of traders in India follow a tradition called "Muhurat Trading." On Diwali, this one-hour window is thought to be a good time to buy stocks. The time for Muhurat trading is set by the stock market every year. The belief is that people who trade at this time are said to have a higher chance of being rich and successful for the rest of the year. As a gift to Goddess Lakshmi, most people choose to buy stocks around this time, which is often the evening of Diwali. This is only in the Indian stock market. Muhurat Trading's History When did Muhurat Trading get its start? Many stockbrokers started their new year on Diwali. So, during Diwali, they would open new settlement accounts for their clients during a lucky time called the Muhurat. On Diwali, brokers would also worship their ledgers by doing Chopda Pooja. Many people believe that this time is lucky, so muhurat trade has become more of a symbol than a traditional practise. Most Hindu investors do Lakshmi Pujan, which is a prayer to Goddess Lakshmi, and then buy shares in strong businesses that have the potential to make money in the long run. How do things work at Muhurat Trading? The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) both let people trade on Diwali for a short time. Most of the time, the session has the following parts: 1. Block Deal Session: This is when two people agree to buy or sell a security at a set price and let the stock exchange know about it. 2. During the pre-open session, the stock exchange decides on the price that is just right (usually around eight minutes). 3. During the normal market session, which lasts an hour, most trading takes place. 4. Auction Session: this is when securities that are hard to sell are traded. A security is said to be illiquid if it doesn't meet the requirements of the exchange. 5. During the closing session, people who trade or invest can place a market order at the closing price.
