interview here<\/a>.<\/p>\nNow, personally I am not a short term trader and I do not believe this is the best thing to do on a long term basis. But she has made it work for her so all power to her. Most of the world\u2019s best investors have been long term \u2013 Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Philip Fisher etc. I would still follow them. So, unless you want to use stock market as your monthly income source \u2013 which is VERY RISKY \u2013 you would be better off doing long term trading. Specifically in India \u2013 where Long term Capital gains tax on stocks (holding > 1 year) is ZERO!! Can\u2019t beat that!!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Just last week on one day of trading she made Rs. 600,000! She has a pool of Rs. 15 lakh in three brokerage accounts and does day trading. She makes 10-15% return on that money in a month (RS 200k – 250k) sitting at home on the laptop. <\/p>\n
No, she is not an MBA or a finance whiz kid. She has self-taught stock trading to herself. Basically she uses options to make money. Options is the promise to buy shares at a later date for a certain price. Now, when the price of the underlying share goes up the Call Option (promise to buy – Put Option is the promise to sell) goes up! The good thing is that Call options cost fraction of the share price. So, if the share is say Rs 1400, the call option for say Jan 2008 at say 1500 (promise to buy the share on – I think – second week of Jan 2008) maybe Rs 200.
