Awesome Friday the 13th

 

I feel I am the devil. And you would too, if your lucky day was Friday the 13th and the likes and if you are unlucky especially on auspicious days. If you look at the chart for my portfolio since yesterday, it has been growing well. And even though while coming in today morning I had a stomach wrenching need to sell off some stocks and then pick them up later in the evening I resisted myself. Thankfully so, as the prices have gone up.


For Monday
SYMBOL Type Buy Price
ARL 3 2.54999995
RCF 3 65.0999985
FCSSOFT 3 97.4499969
SELMCL 3 570.75

I haven't Ideated that yet

With the onset of rains, the temperature has become quite pleasant. I don’t think A/Cs would be required now for atleast 2-3 months. We are keeping the fans also at lower speeds. Thinking of which I wondered whether the resistor in the Fan regulator consumes a lot of energy. Where does that energy go? Ofcourse you would say, it become heat. But why heat, why not some other usable form of energy. Why not charge a rechargeable battery so that it can be used later. Need to research more on this.

I am still trying to think of a viable idea to start a business. The easiest pick is writing a software. But with so many software companies writing softwares for everything on this earth, my mind feels boggled at what I can provide new. Here's something that came to my mind which would be useful for a niche market - College going guys and bachelors who go out regularly with friends. Remember all those times when you go out with your friends to have a Friday night party and then when it comes to paying the bill all of you start calculating how much each has to pay. Some guy says I will pay you later, while someone else bunches up with 2 others and pays for them while having a mutual understanding that those guys will pay him back sometime. I am thinking I will make a small spreadsheet like program for mobiles that can be easily transferred and installed through bluetooth. And then you can keep track of all these transactions in you mobile. One guy pays and creates a bill for everyone. With mobiles, its nota difficult task as all numbers of your friends are stored and you can retrieve info name-wise. Will start work on this soon.

Portfolio Manager

My portfolio manager now looks like this.
 
I can click on the stock name and the inrta-day chart pops up. When I right-click the day-end chart is drawn. From the charting tool I can anyways look at the portfolio as well.
 
The markets fell considerably today, and there is a prediction made by some wall street guy that Sensex will go down to 13000. So really no idea how things will hold up.
 
For Friday's predictions:
SYMBOL Type Buy Price Current Price Growth
VARUNSHIP 1 77.47093 73.15 -0.055774856
HCLTECH 2 313.7495 297.15 -0.052906857
MPHASIS 2 247.2343 249.6 0.009568656
 
Quite dismal performance, but looking at the way the market has tumbled, I dont mind the average 3.3% loss rate. But all said and done, I think this is an opportune time to get into the market and get some solid stocks under your belt.
 
For tomorrow watch out for
 
SYMBOL Type Buy Price
VARDHACRLC 3 5.85
JKPAPER 3 35.875
 
These being type 3 stocks have a higher chance of going up (although they had already gone up from the Buy price by today's end of trade).
