We all know and heard about stock market. Some may or may not invested in stocks. I have seen 98% men in stock market as experts, advisors etc. The participation of women in stock markets is hardly 2% .

Few days back I was watching a program on one of the channels about participation of women in stock market and why their participation is less. According to the survey which was the base for that program. People don’t trust on financial advices of women that’s why they prefer to have men as their financial advisors. People have more faith on men advice then women.

I have seen women in every field their participation, contribution, dedication, hardwork, success. But I wonder why our presence is less in stock market. Women, be it homemaker or working women knows how to handle home finance , they know budget, they know to buy things on discount, they know how to save money. But women fear to take risk in stock market and invest in stock market.

It’s not easy but also not so difficult to deal in stock market. If we gain knowledge, invest our time learning about stocks. I am damn sure we can do wonders in this field too. We can prove the survey data wrong. The calculations, the figures, charts, stock market terms seems unknown, difficult to understand, boring. But when you learn, these all becomes easy to understand and eventually you build interest in it.

It’s good exercise for your brain too. Doing calculations on daily basis, figuring out which share will work for you, studing the data, analysing, go through latest news of stock market. It keeps you busy, it makes you learn new things daily. ‘The more we learn the more we grow’.

I see hardly 2-3 faces (women) on stock market related channels. Happy to see them. The knowledge they have, encourage me too. It makes me learn more. Stock market is just like ‘earn while you learn’ you have to dive in the ocean of stock market and it will teach you how to swim. I am not an expert, can’t say much about this huge world of stock market and when I be partial towards women it surely doesn’t mean I am against men. People being judgemental about what a female should do and not do is the reason everytime it reflects in my blogs. The more we lift each other up the more we light up the direction towards success.

I heard about global markets but in India more transperancy, investor friendly actions are needed. The taxes, brokerage, though they are nominal but should be told to the shareholder, investors. Though we got receipt of each and every transaction sometimes we wonder why a particular charge is being levied.

Investors and traders are two different people. If you wish to enter the market, first decide what you expect from market you want daily profit as a trader or you want to stay invested as shareholder of a company and enjoy return every quater of a financial year as well as stock appreciation too.

More and more women should join this amazing world of stock market and can earn at the comfort of their home, without stepping out of their home. You just need is always be updated about current stock news, stock fundamentals, technicals and chart analysis. Ofcourse money to invest in stock market.

Irrespective of any gender, no one can predict cent percent movement of stock markets globally. It’s risky yet very attractive to be a part of it.

Happy investing, happy earning.
