@ Abhishek Sir

thanks for your valuable addition...

but My GK is really low ... and I don't wanna hit my head against it. So, I guess it won't be a useful idea to get into UPSC....

Hi,

  If u are interested in stock markets there is a course called CISI in UK.As of now that is the best course for people willing to have a future in Stock market.try it!!!All the best!!!!

Stock and Forex is where i want to excel as well..cant believe i found a topic like this..

First of All thanx for the suggestins...I learned a lot about stock market by jumping into it...though i certainly lost Around 10000 (my artcileship Savings :D), But i call it an Investment...

A Job in Forex or Stock MArket is a Shahi Job...4 or 5 Days working thats what i always dreamed of..Someone told me that..Get into any bank after Ca ( dont care about salary) as Analyst or similar job profile..But upto today m not able to find any course which can provide me that extra advantage through which i can get an edge  for my CV...

Lots of Experts are here..hope we will get some valuable inputs..

. since u r pursuing ca.. concentrate more on mafa.. if ur mafa is strong u can get a grip over things like future n options..n side by side give currency exams.. commodity paper... n ya open an account with any broking co and do trade and try to analyse the market flow

may i know.the procedure to apply in australia for the stock market courses?

your current desire very much in a RIGHT WAY.... and if you dont have any constraint of any kind of resources then ..

1 first of all complete ca,cs( i would say you should give most focus on ca , and in ca in sfm..then you can persue cfa(usa) OR along with ca studies ypu can persue NSE certifications .....

2. second , as you said you will complete ca may be around aug 2014, so it means you have ample amount of time for allied activities with regard to ur interest area...you should start watching CNBC, NDTV PROFIT,  .. start reading some economic magzines becuase for a stock analyst sound knowledge of economy , industry, company very necessary its called macro analysis, it will provide clear understanding of a stock analyst....

3. join any good stock broker for some time it which yield you knoweldge regarding practical aspect of stock trading..

4. approach regularly  international investment banking companies like goldman sachs, duetchse bank, citi bank, & india's icici bank ,Religare Enterprises Limited ,Edelweiss Capital ,JM Financial India, Infoline, Centrum Capital, Future Capital, Motilal Oswal.

try to concentrate in your studies for CA & CS .forget everything. u have to go a long way. CA & CS can take you great heights and no need of other course.do it seriously and passionatley.

hey renu....wassup???? ca cs and dont wanna be in the field of audit and taxation tats cool....there is nothing such as learning stuff abt stock market....its all practical experience....even ur bcom qualfn would be enough....since u are/will be completing ca cs der is no need for any certificate or course in stock market....since u pointed out tat u wanted to be in stock makt....have u heard abt RAKESH JHUNJHUNWALA....he is also known as the big bull or india's warren buffet.....u knw wat is his qualfn....just a plain CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT....nothing else....after ur ca cs....if u join any stock broking firm....u dont need any oder extra qualfn buddy....there will be many on job training eg FLIP courses etc....dont worry dude....focus on ca cs....complete it....get into a big stock broking firm/ nbfc (j p morgan etc)....after 2-3 yrs of good work ex den think abt cfa etc iff needed.....dont waste ur money/time/energy on these NSE/BSE/IIBF courses.....u have  ca cs...probably the best finance combo.....

@ bharat Kumar ...

@ Ankit ...

Yup ! I have even same doubt .... Like people work in Bank for experience .... nd  getting job into forex market ......

But upto today m not able to find any course which can provide me that extra advantage through which i can get an edge  for my CV...

this is really a critical input ....please frns advise on this point as wel .....

@ rahul ....

I have even heard the same in my Orientation programme.Basic course's validity  is for life time and other courses have value for sometime ...

and after the period of 2-3 years ... have to give test again... I am not sure ...

@ Anand 

till now , you have given the best advice.

Thanks a lot to everyone :)

Your first priority should be CA and CS.. And acquire additional qualifications like CFA/CFM/CFP.. Also, you may go for NSE certifications.. Because you will have the relevant qualifications, you may explore other sectors also like investment banking, risk management, foreign exchange etc depending on your interests. And for now, make a habit of understanding and doing analysis of markets, macroeconomic  perspectives and the economic situations concerning the world, as the present economic situations are a very good opportunity to learn something in the sector.

Even, I also aim for a career in investment banking, corporate finance and risk management.

renu, one suggestion, dont think that stock market is an easy way to make money by spending little time..

u can become rich or bankrupt in a fraction of second, u must be reay to take that risk.

u can do some courses on technical analysis.. learn technical analysis...

sometimes whatever u learn, whatever knowledge u have wont work in the real market scenario. its all operator driven... small retailors often gets trapped by these giant operators..

so be carefull..

however, if u have passion, strong faith, willigness to accept failure, no greed then u will surely win..

best wishes
