Let me explain a story to you first 

Once there was a Village in which a lot of Rats were living. One fine day a merchant visits the village to buy the monkeys at the rate of Rs.1000/- each.   

All the Villagers were confused and thought the man has become mad. They were confused about how can somebody buy Rats for Rs.1000/- each. Even though they were confused, they tried to catch the Rats and sold to the merchant and got Rs.1000/- each for the Rat.   

The talk of the merchant buying the Rats spread in the village, and everyone started to catch the Rats and started to sell those Rats to the merchant. But now the merchant suddenly announces to increase the price of the rat at which he will buy to Rs.2000/- for each Rat.   

Again, the news of these Rats spread in the village. Now even the lazy ones started to catch the Rats and started to sell them to the merchant. But the Rats were limited, and the people in the village sold all the Rats to the merchant    

The Twist of the Story

Everyone again was awaiting the next announcement of the increase of the price of the Rats; now, the merchant said that he would be going to his home for some time. He told the villagers that he would buy more Rats at the rate of Rs.4000/- each after returning from the house.   

Now the real twist in the story was started by the intelligent merchant. He said to his assistant to sell the monkeys at Rs.3000/- each now as the Rats in the village were over, all the villagers thought of buying them from the assistant of the merchant for Rs.3000/- each and sell them at Rs.4000/- for the merchant. The villagers thought there is a profit of Rs.1000/-   

The villagers became crazy and started to buy the Rats from the assistant of the merchant. The wealthy villagers bought vast quantities of rat, and even the poor villagers began to buy in large amounts by taking loans.   

The people of the village bought all the Rats from the assistant of the merchant and waited for the merchant to return and purchase those Rats for Rs.4000/- each. But, no one came, and the villagers realized that they had bought the useless Rats for Rs.3000/- each.   

This business is known as the STOCK MARKET here the intelligent people become wealthy, whereas the greedy ones and the ones with less knowledge will lose their money, it made a lot of people bankrupt. A few people filthy rich in this business—that’ how the Stock market works.   

Conclusion of the Story

These people believe the words of the greedy and less intelligent people who lost their money in it. I feel that you might be getting your own answer for the question that can Stock Market Make you Rich?

So, you should always assign a target of your profits and exit there even though the price goes high. It is all about maintaining discipline in the Stock Market

THINGS NOT TO DO

1. Futures and Options: – Futures and Options will make you low very soon and also rich if you are lucky; in my opinion, trading in F&O requires a lot of knowledge, and this is used for speculation that is why people get huge losses in F&O.   

The beginners of the Stock Market directly dive into the Futures and Options and lose their money. People should slowly start from investing in equity and trading and then enter the F&O segment with lots of knowledge.
