Share market and stock indices

No one can exactly predict how the share market will perform in the next couple of days. Yes, based on thorough research and considering past trends, one can come close to the predictions. The Indian share market is still exhibiting mixed results; sometimes showing an upward trend and sometimes a downward trend. The NSE and BSE stock indices closed at 5396.75 down 50.75 points (0.93%) and 17985.88 down 146.36 points (0.81%) respectively. The world share market is also progressing at a slow pace. What market experts predicted about the NSE and BSE stock indices reaching close to the 7000 and 22000 marks respectively by December 2012 seem to be a far-fetched phenomenon now.

Anyways, as investors, it is to watch the market closely and then invest. Wrong buying and selling decisions can greatly affect your finances. Yes, analysts advise investors to invest in bulk in the share market for the long term at this juncture, i.e. when there is so much of fluctuation noticed. At some point of time the stock indices will exhibit figures beyond your satisfaction levels. Yes, short term investors in the share market need to be very cautious because there are more risks associated in short term or intraday trading.
