Buy Low, Sell High

Buy Low, Sell High

The idea is that you should buy a share for 100 Rs. and sell it for 130 or 150 Rs or more. That's when you make profit from it. Hence while in the market, look for good shares which have plunged instead of those which are climbing up. Pick up good shares when their value is down and keep them for future for them to climb higher.
This is fairly easy to achieve when the market is incessantly climbing up as in a bull market. However when the overall sentiment is weak and when the market is volatile, you cant do any forecasting where it will go next. Hence you need to apply this principle as and when applicable.
