10 types of Investors in Indian markets!

From my real life experiences-

1. The Gold class (Silent on Twitter, social media)– Age group 38-55 yrs- 100-200 crores in stocks. Self made wealth. Did 10-100x in few stocks. Investing since 2003 or earlier
2. Honest beginner value investor (usually silent on Twitter)– 50-80% of assets in stocks, usually 28-35 yr old, made some wealth (50L-2cr) in last 3-5 yrs, looking at building 5-7 cr portfolio in 3-4 years and leaving job. Subscribes to Multiple advisory services
3. Typical Twitter value investor-  Diverse age group, Asset allocation- 99% real estate (1-10cr), stocks- 1% – 1-10 lakhs. Whatsapp group name- Value investing. Discussion on- Intra-day trades, Futures, Options, Break-outs etc. Churns whole portfolio every week
4. Smart Twitter value investor-  30-40 yr old, 50% asset allocation in stocks- Sells all portfolio in demonetisation time. But keeps tweeting about value investing. After demonetisation market picks up- RTs old tweets of old stocks (in reality- could not buy them again as they have run away before he could buy again)
5. Beginner, 25 yr old- has no clue what stock market is about. Portfolio size 1-5 lakhs. Joins some groups etc to pass time. Primary motive from stock mkt- time pass & some thrill
6. The SIP investor– 30-55 yr old. Invests through SIP in Mutual funds. Doesn’t have a clue about stocks. Looks at stocks that go 10x in awe. Beginning to invest in direct stocks
7. The F&O trader/Broker- primarily gives tips on Nifty, Bank Nifty etc. Earns money via brokerage. Hasn’t made a penny in profits  (mostly losses) but portrays himself as a successful trader
8. The Networked value investor- Has networks with good stock investors. Doesn’t have a clue about value investing. Gets stock picks from others and talks about them with everyone else
9. The Sleepy value investor– a RARE breed-  Buys and holds 10-12 compounders for 3-5 years time frame (e.g pvt banks)
10. The Break out value investor– One who thinks buying break outs and value investing is one and the same! A very common breed!

Happy Investing
