The most disliked word in any area is loss! Whether it is love, election, purse or stock market, no one is inclined to accept losses with pleasure! The reasons for downward slide in the exchange could be many. A deteriorating economy, strikes by the employees, natural calamities etc. Your initial step needs to be to identify the areas that cause harm to your interests.



Preventing harm to the interest of the organization has two benefits. Organization comes first. If there is no organization, where are the shareholders? A company in full swing as for production and sales is the best bet for the shareholders. Share of such a company will be in demand. Preventive measures are part of the risk management. To protect the interests of the organization and the shareholders means one and the same. Some other steps to increase the profit margin are:

Correct Management: The management needs to enlightened, clearly identify the goals of the company and in a position to move towards it and achieve the same within the period specified.

Co-operation from the employees: Nothing can succeed without the willing co-operation from the employees. Proper training must be provided to them as for the latest loss-prevention techniques. They need to be in a position to anticipate the situation and take adequate remedial measures. If the situation goes out of hand, the employees must be educated about the follow-up measures.

Co-operate and prosper: Other industries may have the similar problems that you are facing. ?Two heads are better than one.? Joint efforts and sharing of vital information, including statistical details will benefit the industry as a whole.

Uncertainties: Uncertainties of all sorts may plague the industry. Alterative arrangements for essentials like electricity, raw materials required for production, transport and distribution systems needs to be worked out as per requirements and kept in readiness.

The shares of such a healthy organization will boom in the exchange. When the price

is down, and you get indications that it will further slide, do not be emotional and remain attached to the share. Sell it and you will realize soon, how you are saved from a perilous situation. Do not entertain wild imaginings that the share price will somehow skyrocket.

You need to put yourself constantly on the enquiry as the road to profit is paved wit rubble and the chances of slip and fall are real. If you are a long germ investor with pre-determined plans, you have less to worry. Ignore the day to day swings and fluctuations in the share value. If you are a day trader, you have the problems and they must engage your attention.

Today's post-trade analysis turns out to be tomorrow's pre-trade analysis. This exercise is important, as you are a permanent player in the exchange. Recollection of the past is sweet, when the present states of affairs are healthy and sound. By analyzing your past sale and purchase you understand the future course of action in proper perspective.

Review your one year's performance as for buying and selling of shares. Whose value increased? How many of them were sliding? Even when the share was on the downward mach did you continue to hold it? If so, what were the reasons? Hopes of future rise? Lethargy or negligence? Did you commit any fundamental mistakes? Where the calculations went wrong? One should not be afraid to make the frank analysis, and the revised decisions could be the foundation for the ensuing year.

Post analysis will reveal to you the loopholes in your handling of the shares and it will be a good exercise to prevent losses in stock market. You will be a rejuvenated investor.
