* INVEST SURPLUS ONLY *
Consider investing in markets as money locked in ( like in a PPF account) for a few years atleast & THEN decide how much money you CAN AFFORD TO LOCK IN.
Else we may have to sell ( even a good)stock at lower price BECAUSE we need money urgently .

* Please SAY NO TO F&O *
Who doesn't want quick money !
But then this is also the EASIEST WAY to LOSE all our money ( however intelligent we are !
)
A relative lost 40lakhs in 10days thanks to the itch to earn some quick bucks!!
Learn to say NO often.

* SAY NO TO #LEVERAGE *
We think we can deploy the loan money into markets & earn some quick bucks by short term trading / intra day & use that effectively .
Again thanks to Murphy's law ,this happens ONLY to the people we know ! When we try such stunts it backfires

We often buy a scrip for S.T based on NEWS thinking the stock will surge due to the recent developments .
But we find the stock goes down after we purchase it !!
Reason being the NEWS IS ALREADY priced in & we RETAILERS are the LAST to know about it !
Vice versa also .

* #AssetAllocation matters *
Equity is good no doubt,but pls draw up a tentative Asset allocation plan .
STICK TO IT !
#Diversification is not just purchasing different Equity! There is so much more to it.
Take the help of experts if needed but get this done ASAP.

* #PositionSizing matters*
Most of our gains would be from a handful of stocks . Now the overall portfolio return would depend on how much exposure one has to winners over losers .
Hence we must also average up our winners consistently .

* Pls DON'T TIME markets *
Returns will always be lumpy . Don't have unrealistic expectations.
Don't sit & predict bottom .Deploy cash sensibly .
Regular #SIP must be done . Lumpsome investments can be done if expertise is there ( most of us aren't experts!)

#READ a lot ! Don't just search Twitter for tips !
Only technical analysis won't help us . ( It does to an extent )IMHO the Psychological aspects matter more
especially in current times of high Social Media use.
For history repeats itself , given our inherent nature.

* The craze for making quick bucks from #IPO *
Pls try to AVOID IPO's.
Many retailers fall prey here & end up either making a loss or getting their capital stuck big time.
It's become a gamble now IMHO.

If we understand ourselves then the major battle is won for we won't easily fall victim to NOISE
* MOST IMPORTANTLY we will KNOW what we DON'T KNOW and hence will STICK to our investment philosophy ( whatever it be ) and select stocks .
Churning helps no one.

Study the stock thoroughly BEFORE you invest . Purchase it if you are decently sure of it & ONLY MONITOR the stock afterwards periodically .
But we do the EXACT OPPOSITE!
Hence we panic the minute contrary opinions float in .
CONSENSUS cannot happen in markets!

These are just a few things I shared based on my discussion with the friend.
