You Don't Need a Fancy Suitcase to Invest: Buying Shares in Groww for the Long Haul (without the Wall Street Wobble)
Let's face it, the stock market can feel fancier than a three-piece tuxedo at a penguin convention. But fear not, dear investor wannabe! Today, we're cracking the code on buying shares for the long term using the ever-so-convenient Groww app. That's right, we're talking about building your nest egg without needing a secret handshake or a degree in financial mambo jumbo.
How To Buy Shares For Long Term In Groww App |
Step 1: Assemble Your Investment Arsenal (No Phaser Needed)
Before you go all Indiana Jones and raid the temple of temptation (that's a fancy way of saying don't blow your rent money), you'll need a couple of things:
- A Demat and Trading Account: Think of these as your secure vaults where your shiny new shares will live. Thankfully, Groww offers both in one neat package, so no need to juggle accounts like a circus clown.
- The Groww App: This is your mission control. Download it, get comfy, and let's to the moon (okay, maybe not the moon, but hopefully some decent returns).
Pro Tip: Don't forget to fuel your investment rocket with some cash! Link your bank account to Groww so you can buy those shares with ease.

Step 2: Become a Share Sherlock (Without the Pipe and Deerstalker)
Now for the fun part: Researching companies! Groww lets you search for stocks like a pro. Find a company you believe in, one that makes you go "Aha! This is the future!" Think electric cars zooming past gas guzzlers, or maybe a company that makes the best pizza dough (hey, a well-fed investor is a happy investor).
Do your homework though! Just because a company makes cool fidget spinners doesn't mean they're the next big thing (unless fidget spinners are, in which case, you're a genius). Read up on the company's performance, future plans, and any gossip that might affect the stock price (like a giant pizza dough recall...ew).

Step 3: Placing Your Order (May the Shares Be With You!)
Found your dream company? Time to hit the buy button! Here's where Groww's user-friendly interface comes in handy. You'll tell Groww how many shares you want (be a responsible space cadet, don't go overboard!), and choose how you want to buy them.
Thinking Long Term? Select "Delivery" to hold onto those shares for the long haul. This is where the real magic happens!

Bonus Tip: Play around with the order types. You can go for a "market order" to grab shares at the current price, or get fancy with a "limit order" to buy only if the price dips to your liking (like a savvy shopper waiting for a sale).
Finally, click that glorious "Buy" button and congratulations! You're officially a shareholder. Now, don't expect your portfolio to become Fort Knox overnight. Remember, investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Just sit back, relax, and watch your shares grow (hopefully) at a steady pace.
