As a build up to my previous blog which was also on the Stock Market , I will be explaining the various types of  Orders for buying shares, the notion of Intraday Trading and a very important concept for traders which is Short Selling . Types of Orders There are various types of orders which an investor can place to buy shares. They are:  Limit Order (LO) - Usually, an investor buys shares at their current market price. However, if the share's market price is at ¥500 and the investor wants to buy it at ¥475, he can place a Limit Order; following which, the order will get executed only when the market price drops to ¥475.  Market Price Order (MPO) - This is an order where the buyer/seller is ready to execute the order at the current market price. After Market Order ( AMO) - In India, investors can trade/invest in the stock market from 9:30 A.M till 3:30 P.M. However, if an investor wants to buy/sell shares after the market hours, he can place an AMO. However, the ...

As technology is poised to dominate our lives even more in the coming years, two main focus areas for the future are AI ( Artificial Intelligence ) and IoT . In this blog, I will be covering the basics of IoT. What is IoT? IoT stands for the Internet of Things . The word 'Internet' refers to the interconnected computer systems. Similarly, the Internet of Things means interconnecting everyday objects with embedded computing devices. This will allow these everyday objects to be able to 'talk' to each other. This means that they will be able to send and receive data to each other. How does it work? In order to connect each object, it has to be given a unique identity. A computing circuit and a sensor has to be embedded onto it in order for it to be able to communicate with other objects As there are a wide range of sensors for various purposes, the developer has to choose a sensor which is suited for that specific purpose. Then, all the data which has been produce...

The Great Gatsby is a book which is always listed among the greatest American novels and even among the greatest novels ever written. Authored by F. Scott Fitzgerald , the book's main theme revolves around the ' American Dream '. Through the novel, F. Scott Fitzgerald tries to bring light to the de facto aristocracy in America and the fact that wealth is not everything in life. This can be seen when Fitzgerald writes, ' Money can't bring happiness. ' The American Dream represents the ideal of equality of opportunity for every American, allowing their highest aspirations to be achieved. It also says that a person from any financial background can rise up to the top and earn multitudes of money. The Great Gatsby presents a contradicting viewpoint to this by saying that getting rich should not be one's highest aspiration, rather wealth actually causes one's downfall. This is suggested when in The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald describes a drunk man, who ke...

In the second blog of the duology exploring the disparate footprints being left by the coronavirus, I will be focusing on the various economic impacts that has been caused by it. The virus has caused a global recession that can only be comparable to the Great Depression of 1929. It has led to 100 million people losing their jobs globally and countries have had to close down their economies in order to tackle the virus. The stock market had crashed in February, although it had risen up in May because out of the 5 investing options( Stock Market , Gold , Bonds , Mutual Funds and Real Estate ), the 4 apart from gold were on a downturn too. Hence, investors had little other choice rather than investing in the stock market. Most sectors have been impacted in a negative manner mainly due to the business restrictions that the governments have imposed upon their country. Among the sectors which have been hit hard is the Information sector, where 254,000 people lost their jobs in the U...

Our world is being rampaged by the coronavirus(Covid-19) and new personal and social norms have been created in order to prevent the spread of the virus. As we are unsure whether if the virus will be eradicated or the fact that it may continue to remain on earth, we have to equip ourselves for the future in order to be able to live with it. In this blog which is the first of a duology, I will be looking at 3 normal features that we were accustomed to before the spread of the virus and how these features will be reshaped and remodeled in the future. I will also be giving my predictions on what we can expect from these changes in the future. 3 features of the ' Old Normal ' and how they will be modified for the ' New Normal '. 1. Wearing A Mask In Public Prior to the Covid-19 spread, it was not at all necessary to wear a mask in the public. Moreover, people who were sick were only encouraged to wear it. However, it is now made mandatory for everyone to wear a...

I have always been interested in tennis from a young age. My father is a huge tennis fan and loves to watch matches and analyse the different strategies the players use and how they play. Seeing my father's love for the game, my interest grew gradually as well. Luckily, when  I resettled in Tokyo, I found to my joy that there were multiple tennis courts and a lot of top-class tennis coaching centres. I immediately asked my parents to join me in a coaching centre and I had my first class before the first two weeks of my arrival itself!  As my tennis journey continued, I too started watching the matches of all time legends such as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Pete Sampras to name a few. Although all these players are exceptional, one player whose game and especially his return of the serve I truly admired was Andre Agassi . At the same time, I was really interested in the autobiography genre and was eagerly searching for good quality autobiographies from which I could l...
