How to analyse the markets? — Part 1

The stock market is the toughest place to make easy money. While it seems like making money in the market is easy, 80-90% of the people lose money. One of the biggest reasons for this is traders relying on tips and advice from other people. You can find the best tipster on the planet, but at the end of the day, if you don't have your own framework to analyse the markets and then make trading or investing decisions, you'll never make money.

But analysing the markets can seem intimidating given the hundreds of data points like DII/FII numbers, macro data like GDP, inflation numbers, market data like open interest (OI), put call ratio (PCR) etc.

In this part 1, Karthik gives you a template to analyse the broad macroeconomic factors and how to position yourself for the long term. In the next video, we'll look at positioning yourself for the short term.
