Investments

Ongoing:
- Keep looking for great companies.
- Keep a list of stocks you would love to buy if you hit a Jackpot. And keep it updated.
- Buy the stocks in your list when it is below the intrinsic value. Market panic selloffs due to reasons which does not affect the company are good times to buy.
- Dont invest in too many companies.

One stock:
- Read/Study all possible things about the company.
- Buy only if the company passes your selection process & current price offers a 'margin of safety'.
- Buy it over a period of time (cost averaging).

Portfolio:
- Analize your stocks at a regular interval (6 months) to make sure that the reasons for which you invested in the company is still valid.

Useful Resources

Portfolio Management:
I was using ICICI Direct (www.icicidirect.com) for my portfolio management which comes as part of the account. And it lack even the basic functionality. It is really poor for portfolio managment and tracking.

Recently I came across www.moneycontrol.com 's portfolio management, it is free and its great!! I love it. Also, they provide a consolidated view of all the news, messages related to the companies in portfolio.

Charting:
Yahoo India finance's (http://finance.yahoo.co.in) charting is good. They provide easy charting, comparision to sensex and upto 3 companies in same chart.

www.economictimes.com also have easy charting, but offer no comparision.

Research & Analisys:
Quots & ratios from moneycontrol and icicidirect.
Economictimes also provides helps.

Stock Screening:
www.icicidirect.com provides couple of predefined stock screenings and a basic custom screening tool.
