Safe Investing can give you Great Returns. Find out how…

‘’The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell." And this is exactly what we have been telling you in the last few months!

But does this mean, you should invest in any stock? Definitely not! You can end up losing your hard-earned money. Especially, in volatile times like now, it is imperative that you invest in safe stocks!

So, what are safe stocks?

There is no set definition for safe stock, as it might have different meaning for different people. However, some stocks and sectors might be considered relatively safe compared to others. A good starting point to identify such safe stocks can be to look at large cap, fundamentally strong companies that have proved to be market leaders in their respective sectors. Now, most of you must be wondering where you can find these stocks in one place.

A good starting point would be the well known indices like the BSE Sensex, the Nifty 50 stock or the NSE 100 stocks. These indices provide a great list to look at where you can find a good handful of investment-worthy safe, large cap stocks. But world-over, there is a belief that safe large cap stocks, cannot give you great returns. They can probably only give you ‘’enough’’ returns. But much against this belief we at MoneyWorks4me.com think otherwise.  Want to know why??

Let’s rewind a little… Cut to Oct’2011. Tata Motors (a Nifty 50 stock), India’s largest automobile company fell to Rs. 146.75. This was mainly due to the fact that Tata Motors poor performance in June and September quarters. Tata Motors being a fundamentally strong company offered a great buying opportunity at this point, more so because it was at Rs. 146.75 which was below our MoneyWorks4me’s Discount Price (ideal buying price).

From there the Tata Motors stock saw some negativity till mid Dec and was hovering around the same levels. This was because of the general negativity in the market in the months of November and December.  The factors responsible for this were global fears of the European debt crisis deteriorating further, the rupee taking a beating and the domestic problems of high inflation and interest rates along with a government handicapped with corruption allegations and policy paralysis.

But surprise surprise!!!... With the New Year setting in, investors were showered with good news. The Sensex and the Nifty saw a rally that lasted from mid-December right upto mid-February taking the Sensex to 18000 levels and the Nifty to 5600 levels. This rally was on the back of positive developments around the world and the Indian economy. Also, Tata Motors posted good results in the next 2 quarters due to higher global sales. This led the stock spurt to Rs. 290.45 in March 2012. This price was above the MoneyWorks4me MRP (Right Price) which would have proved to be a good selling price for Investors.

Another such example is that of HDFC Bank.

HDFC Bank is one of India's leading private sector banks. It has been one of the most reliable and consistent performer’s in the banking space. Due to the general pessimism prevailing in the markets in the month of Nov-Dec, the Nifty index was in a free-fall. In keeping with the general market trend, the stock price touched Rs. 406 (close to the MoneyWorks4me Discount Price) in December, 2011 creating a good buy opportunity for investors.

From this point, as the markets recovered, the stock price of the company too moved upwards to Rs. 537.65 (above its MRP), in a time-period of 4 months. 

These are just few examples of Nifty 50 stocks. There are a good handful of stocks in the Nifty 50 which have proved to be gold mines for investors. The truth is that when such safe large-cap stocks fall below their fair price, especially during a market fall they offer amazing investing opportunities!

But are all large cap companies worth investing?

No, not all large cap companies are worth investing into. Some of them may have not done so well in the past and are still facing problems currently. Many investors have often lost money by investing in such companies.
