Know your portfolio

Knowing your portfolio simply means how your portfolio will look like means how much money you will allocate on the stock market on bonds index funds whatever it can maybe or in your own business ok are you getting my point so you should have to decide how your portfolio will look like according to that you will invest.

You can’t look out at Warren buffet sir’s portfolio and try to make as it is like him you can’t do that so try to make your portfolio so that you can invest according to that.

Don’t invest where you don’t know anything about that particular thing

Don’t invest where you don’t know anything about that particular thing whether you are investing in stocks for whatever it may be if you don’t have any idea about that particular thing you can’t blindly invest in that thing. The only result you will get by doing the losses and extreme loss might you can get profit in a short time but it is sure that you will get loss in the long term because you don’t know anything about that particular stocks you had. You had just followed anyone’s tips.

Listen one thing if you want to become rich you can’t become rich by following any other tips anyone yes it’s true. Another thing is that if you lose money by following your intuition if you will lose the chances of getting the pain will be less as compared to losing money by listening to others that will hurt you the most.

Diversify your portfolio

Diversify your portfolio I know you had heard many times by many people and I know you know but you don’t know how to diversify your portfolio okay?

I will give some examples if you have an interest in particular stocks let’s take a bike stock, second can be technology, third can be industry fourth can be a beverage company okay? This is all I had given examples this is not recommended for you.

Know your risk capacity

Know your risk capacity.. know your capacity tell me how many times you had heard about this and tell me also how many times you had followed this rule.

I know you hadn’t followed you have to stick to it my friend you can’t follow anyone who is telling you that you have to allocate 50% of your portfolio to stocks it might can work for him but that same thing doesn’t need to work for you.

It depends on many factors amount invested when the amount of period which he had to hold it for a long time or for a short time there are lots of factors involved according to his capacity. You have to know about your risk-taking capacity and how much money that you have to put and sometimes you have to keep extra money to invest all things you have to consider before putting your money in anything.

Investing versus gambling

I know you know the difference between investing and gambling, investing is something you study research about analyze it then invest your money.

Whereas gambling, simply to put your money into any company and you don’t know anything about that company this is what is known as gambling. If you know your outcome if you know what you are doing and how will your money will perform you get a little bit idea about that ok that is what investing is.

Control your nerves

Control your nerves if the market is falling no problem stick to it if you get panic and if you decide in that situation that can create problems for yourself so try to control your nerves and your emotions. You can’t react to your emotions in the market if you will do like this then you are not going to make anything in the market.

Try to understand and try to control your emotion so that you can hold them for a long time and get a better result out of them. Try doing meditation so that you can control your emotions very well.

Keep it simple and minimum

Tell me one thing if you have to manage 5 students and then you have to manage 200 students tell me which one you will go to manage properly and simply without having a headache and pressure on yourself. The first case right yes or no the first one because you need to manage a small number of students so that you can explain, understand and properly handle them right.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket

I am pretty sure this quote you had heard lots and lots of times don’t put all your eggs in one basket means if you are allocating or buying a share that belongs to technology only one sector. Suppose the technology sector goes down in the future all the stocks which will belong to the technology sector is a probability of getting down much higher.

To prevent that you have to buy some stocks in technology, some in an automobile, or it can be on anything that you think is good for you okay so this is what I was giving example so that you can avoid getting lost in the future.

An index fund will be good for newbies initially

If you are newbies I mean if you are a beginner you can start with an index fund if you see the index fund of S and P 500 you will note that in the last 20 years the average annualized return has been around 10% which is good as compared to your FDs you will also easily manage that inflation rate near about ok index fund and also index fund is easier to understand you can go with it initially also no problem.
