Have been to investing since 2003, since then i have lived through lot of ups and downs and faced all type of market environment. Learnt it a hard way in this markets that, it’s never easy to generate money without involving yourself. There is no short cut to make easy money. This can be done only by a proper planning as well execution of buying in to companies with strong earnings growth and very good balance sheet without getting effected emotionally. Always believe in Margin of safety and invest only with small amount to excellent companies over a period of time. My experience says that don`t just get in to market with a trader like mentality. Understand the principle of stock markets and its behavior at various times. It’s difficult but need to develop this to be successful, Don`t get complacent. So, keep it simple. I.e. buy low and sell high..Never try extravagant things like taking short positions, getting carried away by one or two successful trades and third one may well be a big loss..So, keep in mind that in equities there is always a Risk of 10-20% downside, if you are with good quality stocks you are bound to recover...never buy a stock because it looks cheap (Penny Stocks), never buy a stock because it had a large correction...buy in to market leaders of the segment. 
Patience pays if you pick the right stocks at the right time. Understand the market psyche before committing any money in to markets. Market itself will give you an answer when to buy or when to book profits. 
For more transparency we all need to discuss about all the stocks.I am not giving any suggestions i am sharing my knowledge through my blog.Thanking you,
