Dos and Don'ts while trading and investing

SEBI and exchanges are continuously working towards facilitating investor awareness and bringing transparency to investing. As a trusted investment services company, Geojit has always been at the forefront of creating investor awareness.

We would like to inform you that it has come to the notice of the Exchanges that unsolicited messages are being sent to investors from unregistered or unauthorized entities, via social media platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram and other apps, encouraging them to deal in stocks and F&O contracts. Keeping your best interests as our top priority, here a few important points you need to keep in mind before and while trading and investing.

Dos

  • Maintain the secrecy of your login credentials (username & password) for internet trading/MyGeojit since you are responsible for all your transactions. Password should be unique and shall be changed periodically to ensure security.
  • While placing orders through our branch office phone, ensure to provide clear and unambiguous instructions. In case you visit our branch office, please give your orders in writing via order slips.
  • Report immediately if you do not receive Contract Notes within 24 hours.
  • Keep a regular check of your Trading and Depository account balance/holdings. In case of any discrepancies, please e-mail
  • Review weekly statements from Exchanges and Depositories about funds and securities balance. Compare these with the weekly account statement sent by us. In case of any discrepancies, please report to the Exchange immediately.
  • Understand risk factors thoroughly before starting trades in Futures & Options, Margin Trading, Currency and Commodity segments.

Don'ts

  • Do not believe in baseless and false assurances of guaranteed returns. There is no assurance of guaranteed or fixed periodic returns from the Capital Market. Brokers or their authorized persons or any of their associates are not authorized to offer such assurance and promises.
  • Our employees, authorized persons, or any of their associates are not permitted to do trading transactions on behalf of you. Do not give blanket permission to our dealers /officials under any circumstances.

  • Do not issue cheques in the name of an Authorized Person or Employees or an associate of the Broker.
  • Do not share your Internet Trading / My Geojit login id passwords, trading strategies or positions with others including Brokers or their authorized persons or any of their associates under any circumstances.

Be cautious while dealing with unsolicited market practices, sharing Trading Account credentials and dealing in options derivatives

  • Refrain from trading in leveraged products like options without proper understanding, as it could lead to losses.
  • Writing/selling options or trading in option strategies based on tips, without basic knowledge and understanding of the product, is highly risky and can lead to huge losses. Analyse risk-return before making any investment decision.
  • Refrain from trading/investing based on unsolicited tips through WhatsApp, Telegram, YouTube, Facebook, SMS, calls, etc.
  • Refrain from trading in options based on recommendations from unauthorized/unregistered investment advisors.

A ⁠surge in freight costs ----

The Baltic Exchange quoted West Africa to Asia spot VLCC rates at $142,900 per day at the end of last week, up 27% in seven days.

 

Spot VLCC earnings from Fujairah in the UAE have eased to just below $180,000 per day, down from close to $300,000 earlier in March.

Suezmax and aframax rates continue to move higher, with the market increasingly driven by disrupted trade flows and west-east arbitrage, however.

Tonne-miles are rising, and more tonnage is being pulled east.

Aframaxes on the US Gulf to Europe route are now earning around $235,000 per day, above Middle East VLCC levels.

Frauds, Vigilance and Citizen Action - Moneylife Foundation - Sucheta Dalal

Moneylife’s Fraud Alert series, written regularly by our Deputy Editor Yogesh Sapkale, breaks down these evolving threats with real examples and practical warning signs so that readers are better prepared. In January, the series highlighted scams that touch everyday lives:
 
These are not isolated incidents; they represent patterns that are growing in frequency and complexity. We strongly encourage members to read, share and circulate these articles widely, especially with family members, seniors and anyone who may be less confident navigating digital systems. Awareness remains the most effective line of defence.
 
You can find all Fraud Alert articles here: https://moneylife.in/tags/fraudalert.html Several are also explained through short videos on our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist? list=PL4oFxJDi1WqgU3PMWU7a3Plygeuu676RQ
 

 
Hearing From Our Readers: Digital Arrest and Online Scams
 
Alongside our reporting, we have been receiving emails from readers who have faced digital arrest scams and other forms of online fraud, sometimes narrowly avoiding losses, and in other cases seeking guidance after money has already been transferred.
 
It is important to be clear that in such cases, no third party can reverse transactions or resolve matters on behalf of victims. What we can do is help people understand the correct steps to take — whom to approach, what to document, and how to avoid further harm.
 
If we see sufficient interest, we are considering organising a guided, one-to-one Zoom counselling session, focused purely on practical guidance for those affected or at risk. This will depend entirely on reader feedback and need.
 
If you believe such a session would be useful, for yourself or someone you care about, do write to us at foundation@moneylife.in and let us know.
 
Alongside fraud-related distress, we are also seeing a steady rise in requests from people trapped in personal debt — often involving multiple unsecured loans and aggressive recovery practices. We currently receive several desperate requests for credit counselling every week, underscoring how widespread and under-recognised this problem has become.
 

 
We’d Like to Hear From You
 
We are also seeing growing interest and questions around Wills, probate, and living wills (advance medical instructions), areas that many people find confusing but increasingly important.
 
Before planning any talks or seminars, we would like to understand how many members are interested in these subjects and what aspects they would like covered — whether it is drafting a Will, understanding probate procedures, or knowing how living wills work in practice. If these are topics you would like us to address through talks or workshops, do write to us at foundation@moneylife.in and share your thoughts.
 

 
Past Programmes
 
In January, Moneylife Foundation felicitated Chaitanya Patil, civil engineer and civic activist, for his Rasta Satyagraha, a 29-day, 490-km on-foot audit of the Mumbai–Goa National Highway (NH-66). Chaitanya’s walk brought sustained attention to unfinished work, unsafe stretches, poor signage and planning failures that continue to endanger lives. It was not a protest for visibility, but a rigorous exercise in documentation, quietly carried out and firmly rooted in public interest.
 
The felicitation programme was followed by an interaction with concerned citizens, activists and professionals, underscoring an important point: accountability often begins with citizens asking uncomfortable questions when systems fail to do so. If you missed it, you can read our detailed coverage here: Citizen Audit of Mumbai–Goa Highway: Chaitanya Patil Felicitated for 490-km Rasta Satyagraha on NH-66 Safety Gaps
 

 
Using AI with Judgment, Not Blind Trust
 
Later in the month, we hosted a hands-on workshop on AI tools for everyday use with Yazdi Tantra, responding to growing uncertainty about how to engage with artificial intelligence safely and sensibly.
 
A key takeaway from the session was simple but powerful: AI should be used with judgment, not blind trust. Participants were introduced to practical tools for writing, planning, research and organisation, while also being cautioned about risks such as misinformation, over-reliance, data misuse and privacy lapses. The session was especially useful for non-tech users who want to benefit from AI without feeling overwhelmed or misled by hype.
 
You can read our report on the workshop here: Use AI with Judgement, Not Blind Trust, Says Yazdi Tantra at Moneylife Foundation’s Workshop. A video recording of the session is also available on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVdcuolmUHA
