Word of the Day

Debentures

They are long-term debt instruments used by

companies or governments to raise money
 from the public

They are a type of loan given to the issuer, usually for more than 10 years.

The issuer gives fixed interest payments to the investor and repays the amount at maturity.

They can be secured or unsecured — meaning they can be backed by specific assets or rely
solely on the issuer’s promise to repay.

Debentures are used to raise funds without diluting ownership.

6 Day Course

Theme: illiquid shares

Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sun

Some companies get delisted from the exchanges. These companies shares become
extremely illiquid.

These shares can only be bought and sold OTC (Over the Counter).

In this case, the buyers and sellers have to find each other — it does not happen
automatically like in case of the stock exchange.

Once that is done, they need to negotiate and arrive at a price for the transaction.

This transaction needs to be recorded and documented using an agreement and other
mandatory documents.

Companies can be delisted for various reasons including bankruptcy, merger, voluntary
delisting, violation of regulations, etc.

Featured Question

Q. “I invest mostly of my fund i.e 75% in MF (65%) and gold EFT

(10%) and want to invest remaining 25% in direct stock but not
confident enough to select the stocks, what should I do? Shall I
trust my analysis and start with small amount?”

Many investors feel this way.

 If you want to start investing in stocks, starting with a small
amount is a good idea.

If you are not sure at all, please use an amount you will be
comfortable losing.

This can be 25% of your total investment amount or even much

lower than that.

Also, it is necessary you give yourself time to determine if you’re

succeeding as an investor.

Many investors start investing in stocks, and see very high

returns very fast.

That is usually temporary and a phenomenon of the bull phase.

It is best to trust your stock picking skill only after you have
proven yourself to be good at it over a long period of time —
through bull phase and bear phase.

In this section, daily, we'll try to answer one burning question related to the field of personal
finance education.
