Equity Buyers


At the highest level you have just two types of people buying stocks. One is Trader and the other is Investor. 

Trader can be qualified as daily trader , weekly trader and monthly trader.

Investor  typically hold on to his investment for a long time.  A investor might be holding on to a equity anywhere from 1 year to 10 years.


I shall try to perceive stock buyers in terms of their risk taking appetite.

Low Risk Takers : They should invest in blue chips and aim at long term gains (3 yaers and above) only. They need to adopt a buy and hold strategy

Medium Risk Takers: They should invest in growth stocks and aim at medium term (1 to 3 years). They should adopt a reasonably aggressive strategy.

High Risk Takers: They should invest in turnaround stocks and aim at short-term gains only (around 1 year). Adopting a very bold investment strategy , they should go bargain-hunting.
