What are some of the most mind-blowing facts about the Indian stock market?

1. The Sensex started from 100 in 1979 and crossed the 30000 mark in 2015.The index plummeted by over 1,624 points on 24 August 2015, the biggest one-day point plunge in the index's history.The biggest ever gain was over 2100 points on 18 May 2009.

2. MARUTI tyres to BMW

If you had bought 4 tyres and tubes for your Maruti 800 car in 2002 it would have costed you Rs. 18000. But had you invested the same amount in TVS Srichakra shares, it would have amounted to Rs. 35 lakhs. Enough to purchase a BMW today !!!

3. EICHER STORY

If you had spent Rs 55,000 to buy a Royal Enfield motorcycle in 2001, you would now have an old, rugged bike. But if you had invested the same Rs 55,000 in shares (at Rs 17.50 per share) of Eicher Motors, the company that makes Enfield bikes, your investment will be worth Rs 4.75 crore now. Recently the stock price crossed Rs. 27000.

4. MRF Dividend

MRF share is THE COSTLIEST one in the market (Rs. 55000 each).And recently the company had announced dividend of Rs. 3 per share ONLY. Ironically , I hold few shares and I am still in SHOCK. No doubt the stock had given 500% return in just 4 years but their dividend distribution is beyond my intelligence.

5. INFOSYS & WIPRO

Infosys IPO in 1993 at Rs.95 was undersubscribed and was bailed out by Morgan Stanley (picked uo 13% equity). If you had invested Rs. 9500 (100 shares) in Infosys in 1993, today you would be sitting on more than 3 crores (including dividends around 50 lakh).

Same is the case with WIPRO. Rs. 10000 invested in WIPRO in 1980 would amount to Rs.600 crores today. Simply MINDBLOWING. Isn’t it???

6. HDFC Twins

Rs. 1500 invested in HDFC in 1990 would now be worth Rs. 25 lakhs today. Just amazing!!!

7. SYMPHONY and EDUCOMP

Stock market is a wonderful place and it surprises, shocks, amaze and mesmerizes you every-time you think that you have become an “expert”. It makes you humble and grounded. No place for Ego. If by chance, you have invested in a wrong company just accept your mistake, book your losses and move-on. Never wait for your buy price to come. Junk will remain a junk even after a long time.

I have seen SYMPHONY going from 16 paisa (2003) to Rs.1600 (2015).

And I have also witnessed EDUCOMP SOLUTIONS going down from Rs. 1100 (2008) to Rs. 11 (2017) even after being the darling stock of BIG INVESTORS at one point of time.

In this market you can find stocks which are wealth generators giving mega returns like :-

MRF,

SYMPHONY,

EICHER MOTORS,

BOSCH,

PAGE INDUSTRIES,

SHREE CEMENTS,

TIDE WATER OIL,

HONEYWELL,

EDUCOMP,

UNITECH,

DLF,

J.P. ASSOCIATES,

TULIP TELECOM,

KINGFISHER,

RELIANCE POWER,

RELIANCE COMMUNICATIONS,

GVKs & GMRs which are the wealth destroyers.

There are thousands of companies which has eroded investors wealth and become penny stocks.

So,

Invest wisely.

Choose blue-chips.

Be patient.

Markets will indeed blow your mind.

Cheers :-)
