What should and investor took before he invest in Stock Market
An investor should set his/her priorities and requirements before investing in stock market.
Some of the points are as follows:-
If an investor is active in doing market research and is well-versed with online trading platforms then he/she should go for online trading which is provided by majority of discount brokers.
But if an investor has lack of time for doing trade and market research then he/she can select traditional traders which do all the trade on behalf of customer and take all the pain concerned with it.
Though offline traders charge high commission rates in comparison with online ones.
Depending on the trading volume and percentage of savings an investor wants, there are available full service and discount brokers.
A full service broker will charge hefty amount depending on the trade volume and the services provided but a discount broker charge nominal fee irrespective of trading amount.
Now comes the rate of doing trade in which if an individual purchase or sell stocks few times in a week or month then he/she can hire a regular broker but if the trade is to be done only few times quarterly or annually then hiring a stock broker will earn no benefit.
It is better to research a bit for the stock broker an individual wants to engage with because only few stock brokers provide financial and investment suggestions along with good trading services.
Every discount broker has different set of brokerage charges. Some of them take flat fee for their services which ranges from Rs 8- Rs20 that doesn’t depend on the trade amount.
While others take monthly fees according to the services an investors needs in which they provide various trading plans.
Some of the discount brokers trading plans initiates from Rs 999. But again it is to be reminded that before investing and choosing stock broker an individual should check each and every aspect about them.
