Mistakes to avoid when investing in stocks / Mutual Funds

A common mistake that most investors make while investing in the stock
markets is getting carried away.
Below are the list of mistakes that need to be avoided when investing in stocks.
1. Monitor your profit / loss on a day to day basis.
You should never monitor your profit / loss on a day to day basis but
more on a year to year basis
2. Sell when the markets crash
Selling when the markets crash is like giving your stocks to others.
Infact you must take this opportunity to purchase.
The bigger the fall the better rates you get when purchasing.
3. Not booking profits.
When you invest say 1000 Rs and the stock rises to a value of 1200 Rs
in 2 months this may be a opportunity to sell as you got 20% return in
2 months or effective 120% return in a year.
