Investment Philosophy

At stockaxis, we believe in research, study and deep analysis of each investment that we recommend

How we recommend stocks:

stockaxis’ proprietary algorithm used for stock analysis:

Every stock is analysed using our proprietary algorithm which has been conceptualized, created, tested and proven robust over the years.

Stock trends closely assessed:

We closely assess stock trends; only when a stock is on a substantiated uptrend do we recommend it, and vice versa.

Leading stocks recommended:

We recommend only leading stocks in a focus sector. Our research strongly indicates that when a sector is on an upcycle, the leading stocks in that sector move up on the strength of the sector.

Strong EPS growth:

We recommend stocks that have shown a strong EPS growth in the past 3 years giving added weight-age to the most recent quarter results.

Technical analysis used:

We validate our stock picks with technical analysis.

Market rally analysed:

We recommend ‘buy points’ of our focus stocks in sync with a market rally.

Buy - New highs along with high volumes:

We recommend stocks which have achieved new highs along with high volumes.

Sell - New lows along with high volumes:

We recommend ‘sell points’ of our stocks based on new lows combined with high volumes.

Price-volume combination analysed:

Our recommendations include a combination of price and volume actions.

Stop-losses strictly adhered to:

We strictly adhere to our pre-set stop losses without any exceptions; remember it takes 100% gain to recover a 50% loss. Cutting your losses is like paying insurance premium.

‘Averaging down’ is wrong:

We don’t believe in ‘averaging down’, i.e. buying more when the price of the stock falls.

Objectivity strictly adhered to:

We don’t let emotions enter into our recommendations - we recommend ‘buy’ and ‘sell’ purely on our research and analysis.

‘Buy & hold’ without monitoring is wrong:

Every stock that we recommend is closely monitored till our target price is achieved; we don’t believe in ‘buy’ and ‘hold’ without a target price and stop loss.

Institutional investments monitored:

Our research includes monitoring institutional holding; higher institutional holding is a positive sign for a stock, and vice versa.

Rumours ignored:

We never advise to buy or sell stocks on tips or rumours; we strictly follow this rule.

Markets are never wrong:

We strongly believe - “Markets are never wrong - opinions often are.”
