Finance with Ankita

In my last  article  , I wrote how dangerous the Pharma Industry can be if not analysed properly before making "The Investment" in a particular company and what are the main reasons behind the sudden uprise of Pharma stocks during the covid lockdowns.  I even stated how a wise investor can get higher returns from " the drugs sector" and reduce the scale of risk and losses from his portfolio by just " analysing the fundamentals of a company thoroughly ".  Therefore, here is the fundamental analysis of the first six companies ( as stated in the previous  article ) 1. Abbott India : Abbott is a MNC ( Multi National Corporation), already well established in Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and South Africa, & The Americas. The MNC went on establishing its name in India in the year 1990, and is headquarted in Mumbai, Maharashtra.  1.

If you are investing in the pharmaceutical industry just with the belief in your mind that " this sector will grow in and after Covid Pandemic ", then you are indeed going to be a beggar. We have seen a sudden uprise and growth in the industry concerning medicines since the past few months.  After the coronavirus lockdown which was approved " worldwide" , this was greatly shocking and confusing to the investors. Where all the industries were closed and production was stopped completely for the first few months, the analysts saw a greatest downfall in the Nifty and Sensex after The Great Depression.  However, the pharma index continued to rise for a few hundred points even in the most severe situations. This forced the investors to believe the pharma companies rising in the pandemic to be " fundamentally so strong to beat the extreme situations " . This belief was totally wrong and the growth of this particular sector was only due to the followi...

The pandemic of covid 19 has hit the World Economy badly and almost all the economists around the nation are expecting a "Recession" very soon which is going to last for some time. Even amidst this staggering situation,            " A LIST OF COMPANIES HAVE MANAGED TO PERFORM WELL AND WILL CONTINUE DOING SO POST THE CORONA VIRUS PERIOD" Without further delay, here's the list (with explanation, no hits in the air) 1. E-COMMERCE : The e-commerce sector will has already seen a major growth during the lockdowns as everyone (almost!!) were locked inside their houses with almost no or very less acess to he shopping in the markets and malls.  The lockdown was essential and so was people's purchases of day to day items in order to survive. People who might have never used ecommerce sites, due to their inability to check it with their hands while buying and lack of satisfaction one derives from bargaining prices, also saw it as a safer a...

A lot of people are ignorant about the currency market prevailing in the World Economy, how it works and the way people make money from it. What is Forex Market?  Forex Market is the short for Foreign Exchange Market. Currencies are traded (bought and sold) and exchanged in the market and people make money out of fluctuating prices of the currency in this highly volatile market environment.  It acts on a global note and banks and other commercial institutions from all over the world are a part of this market. This the reason they are open 24 hours a day and 5 days a week ( Monday to Friday ). The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) acts as a regulator in the Indian Forex Market. RBI is also known as a "  watchdog " of the Currency Market here. The apex institution of the country makes laws to be followed by the forex traders keeping in mind the effect this part of this has on the country's foreign exchange.  Worldwide, the most traded curr...

This lesson will deal with commodities market.  Before we start with the lesson, let me tell you, while I was researching for the topic, I read an interview of " The Oracle Of Omaha " the topmost investor of this world, Mr. Warren Buffett,  in which he openly exclaimed how little faith he has on the commodities market due to its highly volatile nature and high conditions of the traders to loose money. He states two must to do rules in order to win in a market . Rule 1 : Never loose money Rule 2 : Bdver forget rule 1 The commodities market doesn't enjoys a "very good investment option" reputation in the industry and is used by traders only, for speculation and gambling.  Mr Buffett even says how predicting the growth of commodities while trading in this highly fluctuating market is close to impossible.  What is commodities market? Commodities market is a market where commodities are traded (bought and sold) in the s...
