Dad told me about how his just retired friend's 25 year old insisted on liquidating F.D's worth a sizeable amt ( kept for EMERGENCY ) today as the son KNEW he could EARN SO MUCH MORE from markets in JUST a month ! 🤦
A thread on the same for NEWBIES.
2/8 2020 was exceptional !!
A brutal crash followed by an unimaginable run due to liquidity.
NO. IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU TALENTED IF YOU HAVE MADE 50%+ RETURNS THIS YEAR.
Even a GROUNDED AIRLINE scrip is flying. That doesn't make you an expert.
IT JUST MAKES YOU LUCKY! 🤷
3/8 An experienced person with a modest risk appetite would be happy with 12-15% CAGR over a long term.
Most get caught at higher ends. ( Few accept it )
Only a HANDFUL enter at bottom ( Mostly Newbies).
You never know WHEN YOU too might get caught at the higher end!
4/8 Don't get CARRIED AWAY by these Screenshots & Self proclaimed EXPERTS on Twitter who run paid subscription giving 5 FUNDAMENTALLY strong stock names EVERYDAY !
Yes they ARE making lot of money.
But NOT from markets .
They are MINTING money off you ! 🤦
5/8
Leaving your JOB to pursue TRADING is mostly stupidity .
Stopping a A REGULAR source of income for a POSSIBLE windfall is TEXTBOOK DISASTER IN MAKING.
One can become Financially Independent by focusing on work, skillsets & investing sensibly . Weekend reading suffices.
6/8 If you have made spectacular returns in Average/Penny stocks or Trading use that returns sensibly .
* Pay off existing loans .
Become DEBT FREE
* Ensure you have an Emergency fund worth a year's expenses

Your OUTCOMES are a lagging measure of your HABITS . Although difficult to appreciate on a daily basis , they MATTER IMMENSELY.
Change your habit ,to change the outcome.
It doesn't matter WHERE you are currently,
CHANGE YOUR HABIT TO CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF YOUR LIFE!👇

You do not RISE to the level of your GOALS .You FALL to the level of your SYSTEMS .
Why so ?
Both WINNERS & LOSERS have a Goal . What then sets them apart ?
It's having a SYSTEM in place.
Systems are forever & they result in continuous SELF IMPROVEMENT .
Here's my list of #BooksToRead for #investors . It is NOT an exhaustive list ,for there is NO END TO LEARNING.
I have tried to incorporate different learning aspects of #investing here .
What we experience early on (in our adult life) is more compelling than what we learn second hand, which is why each person thinks about #Risk & #Reward DIFFERENTLY.
In theory we SHOULD make our investments based on OUR goals & options available.
3/31
However we tend to include our unique experiences of how the world works (albeit with incomplete information) which might seem crazy to others .
* Spreadsheets cannot replicate human emotions which is why no amount of studying can make one truly UNDERSTAND the underlying.
With Diwali around the corner along with our economy rebounding , only fair that we be bombarded with "PATAKA STOCKS" by EXPERTS from Indore to the enthusiastic newbie who made 30% returns on his portfolio ( of ₹10,000) in 1 week 🙄
2/14
So here are my 2 cents gently reminding how much of WEALTH has ACTUALLY been created for the enthusiastic retailers by PATAKA / PENNY / MULTI BAGGER stocks recommended in the past few years .
DISCLAIMER : Being a learner, I am mostly wrong 😇🙏
To each his own .

A small snapshot of a few Penny stocks ( using this word a little liberally here ) that were recommended LEFT , RIGHT AND CENTRE on Social Media & how they are doing currently :))
P.S - These are still recommended to newbies with the recount of their glorious past ! 🤦
