Investing & trading in 2025: Better use this set of non-Nifty50 stocks to take care of the investor and trader in you
Volatility is not bad, if one is able to learn from it. The hard fact, however, is that most of us don't want to learn from the market, only earn from it. Trading and investing diverge significantly across skill requirements, capital needs, and the potential returns they offer. This distinction is widely recognized by the world's foremost wealth generators, who typically specialize in one approach over the other. Yet, many of us harbor the ambition of engaging in both trading and investing concurrently. Combining these activities can often lead to negligible or less-than-optimal returns. In the stock market, while no outcome is guaranteed, there exists a selection of stocks that stands a better chance of benefiting those who wish to wear both the trader's and investor's hats simultaneously. But then, like everything in the market, this too comes with caveats.

For risker-takers of the highest order: 11 stocks where policy change may lead to higher returns; however…
It is every investor’s secret dream to find stocks that will give very high returns. Or, to put it another way, a multi-bagger stock. The reality, however, is that in a market that has been on a bull run for 10 years and valuations are high, the probability of finding stocks that deliver extraordinary returns is low. In order to get such returns, you will have to take risks. But do remember that there are different kinds of risks. Buying a penny stock is a risk. Buying a stock from a sector which is currently in bad shape is also a risk. The latter, however, is a logical risk and the probability that you will earn good returns is higher compared to picking up a penny stock. So, as we are about to kickstart 2025, here is a set of stocks which we believe are for long-term investors who are willing to take risk, but with knowledge of the kind of risk they are taking.

Market Trading Guide: Religare Enterprises, Titagarh Rail are among 5 stock recommendations for Monday
Fed’s hawkish commentary and prospects of shallower rate cuts in 2025 weighed on Friday as well as the headline indices closed with deep cuts amid significant selling in IT, bank and auto stocks. The 30-stock S&P BSE Sensex finished at 78,041.59, declining by 1176.46 points or 1.49% while the Nifty50 settled at 23,587.50, falling by 364.20 points or 1.52%. Nifty's initial rebound proved fleeting as sellers regained control, leading to the unwinding of positions by buyers and this selling pressure drove the index below the 200-day EMA, Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Analyst at SAMCO Securities said, adding that this trend underscores the prevailing bearish sentiment in the market. "On the daily chart, the index hovers near a crucial support level at 23,500, aligning with an upward-sloping trendline. A decisive breach below this support could trigger intensified selling pressure. Conversely, any recovery attempt is likely to face resistance around 24,000, a level marked by an unfilled gap that reflects weak buying interest at higher levels. The RSI on the daily chart has slipped below 40, signalling waning buying momentum," Dhameja said.Here are 5 stock recommendations for Monday:

Asian paints: Is hyper competition priced in? Or does more pain need to be absorbed? 5 paint stocks with an upside potential of up to 18%
It all started post-Covid. A number of large industrial houses announced their entry into the paint industry. From the JSW group to JK Cement, and Grasim to Pidilite, all of them entered a sector which had for long been dominated by the likes of Asian Paints. Now combine this with the fact that the Asian Paints stock, one of the biggest wealth creators on the market, has been underperforming for the last four years. Has the market priced in all the competition? Or is the sector likely to see a longer phase of competition in real business and underperformance on the street? The street has also become extremely sensitive to what happens in the company. The exit of two senior executives saw the stock slip sharply. Will the valuation matrix of the paint sector, and Asian Paints in particular, change for the better? The answer is not in black and white.
