(AI generated translation of मोतियों की तलाश)

When Nagesh Chaturvedi’s uncle sat down in the drawing room, Harshad came to him. He asked – How are you, brother? How did you come?

Let us tell the readers that Nagesh Chaturvedi is a very big CA in Ahmedabad. He has been Harshad’s friend since childhood. When he came to know about Harshad’s health, he left his office and came to his house early in the morning to meet Harshad.

Chaturvedi – Girdhar called me last night. He told me about your health. He also told me that while doing daily trading in the stock market, my health deteriorated and I had to be taken to the hospital. Hey! Sir! You should have asked me before doing daily trading. You know that I have been doing this work for the last six years.

Harshad – Friend! Some people have said that good money is made in daily trading. That is why I immediately started this work after retirement by opening my demat account.

Chaturvedi – Okay. No problem. Look Harshad, daily trading is like a high-risk game. It has some rules and regulations. Before starting this work, it is good to watch videos related to daily trading on the net and read some books written by famous authors.

Harshad – I did not do this.

Chaturvedi – That is why you have a problem. If you enter the share market after studying well, the result will be even better. One thing I want to know is whether you watch the news etc. before starting daily trading or not.

Harshad – No. I only see which share has more or less volume. Then I guess how much the share can reach a peak or fall.

Chaturvedi – This is where the problem arises. Guesswork does not work in the share market. One has to know the fundamentals and strength of the share to be bought or sold. One has to keep an eye on the news related to it. Only then can the right decision be made. Perhaps due to the strategy of making decisions based on guesswork, you could not make the right decision about the fluctuations in the shares of Sabdhani Group. I believe that its shares are giving good returns. But a few days ago, a report about it was published in Britain – by the Hidden Treasure organization. This organization had said in its report that artificial fluctuations are being made in the shares of Sabdhani Group. Now it is difficult to say how true this is. However the share market is greatly affected by sentiments. Due to this report, negative news about the shares of this group spread more. The result of this was that now the value of the shares of this group has come down to less than half.

Harshad – That means the value of my shares has come down to half. The market value of shares worth ten lakhs has come down to only five lakhs!

Chaturvedi felt that Harshad might again develop a heart problem, so he immediately interrupted and said – Harshad, the good news is that after this news came out, the chairman of the group, Govind Sabdhani, immediately got into action and started taking measures to increase the confidence of investors. Also, he has strongly refuted the allegations of Hidden Treasure. This has improved the sentiments about the group’s shares and their prices have started rising again. Apart from this, the regulatory body for trading shares has also started investigating the matter so that the truth can be revealed. However, it will take some time for the entire dust to settle.

Harshad – What should we do now?

Chaturvedi – First of all, we should have tea and breakfast so that the body can get energy. Look, during our conversation itself, Bhabhi ji brought jalebi-fafda and tea. Let’s enjoy them first.

Sunanda, while placing tea and breakfast on the centre table, said – He will only get to taste these things. I don’t have to increase his cholesterol level.

Harshad – That’s it, I will also taste only a little. I just have to increase my bank balance. Not the size of my belly.

Everyone laughed after hearing this. Chaturvedi said while sipping tea – Bhai Sahab! Your bank balance will also increase, but only when you will neither panic due to the boom or the recession. You will keep in mind your buying average. You will not invest a lot of money in one group at a time and will only think about your profit in every situation and will use the opportunity of rise to sell and the opportunity of fall to buy. Do not be too greedy and do not get influenced by anyone. The stock market is like the ocean. The deeper you study and search for pearls in-depth, the more opportunities you will get to find pearls.

After listening to Chaturvedi, Harshad was convinced that when he entered into daily trading with full preparation, he would have laddus in both hands.
