Are you worried about the stock market correction?
Are you tired off seeing portfolio in red?
It's almost 18 months (Aug'21 peak to Feb'23) in the market with low or no returns. Are you thinking of quitting the stock market or selling micro/small cap stocks and moving to safe blue chips or mutual funds or real estate or FD?
I can very well understand that such kind of thoughts must be coming in your mind. Well, we should be worried because as a human being getting worried is our favorite time-pass but can you do anything to get rid of this, answer is no you can't do anything. The only thing which you can do is to "sit quiet and hold your portfolio tight" so that you can just SURVIVE this phase. Remember that, in stock market you don't need to WIN or LOSE for creating wealth, you just need to SURVIVE the bad days.
👉 Tell me, what is your contribution in making money from stocks?
✅ When a stock moves from 100rs to 500rs, you make 400rs profit per share and the same profit of 400rs per share even promoters of the company makes while he & his whole team work hard day in and day out.
✅ Law of universe says that without any effort there is no result. It means you must be putting some extra effort apart from buying & holding the stock in order to earn same profit what promoters makes.
✅ What's your contribution then??? You as an investor "feel the pain of price volatility" and continue to hold even when stock moves up by 50-100% or even when stock is down by 30-50%. Having same kind of faith (confidence & patience to hold) in a stock during good & bad time is rare quality you have. This is not easy task because it goes beyond human nature. As a human being we feel that we should keep doing something, we should enter and exit a stock frequently and again re-enter in a stock at lower level. But biggest wealth is created in holding a stock for longer period of time, it means not doing anything frequently.
✅ Market gives non linear return, it means we may not get any returns for 1 year or 2 years and in 3rd year we make it 100 to 200% return. We have seen it before too, year 2012-13 (low return year), 2014 (fantastic returns), year 2015-16 (low return year), 2017 (fantastic returns), year 2018-19 (low return year), 2020-21 (fantastic returns), year 2022-23 (low return year), 2024-25 (most likely there will be fantastic returns).
✅ Our human nature is inclined towards "instant gratification". When we work we expect immediately result, it goes in line with our nature but remember that anything which is instant or anything which gives short term instant happiness (like eating Pizza, Burger, KFC; drinking Wine, Alcohol; doing short term Trading especially F&O etc.) is not good for long time health & wealth.
If we want to make money in the stock market we need to develop "delayed gratification" as our core quality, it means we should be ready to wait for sometime for bigger reward rather than accepting a small-small rewards frequently. Delayed gratification is something which is found in very few people that is why few people makes money in a big way.
At the end, I would say relax, this too shall pass like earlier corrections. Feel free to talk to me if you are stressed or in panic due to current market condition. I have experienced this market for last 23 years and created wealth too in non-liner ways, I can help you very well. Remember that we are not here just to give you a stock tips, we are here to show you the right path, we are here to change your though processes, your mindset, we are here to hold you when everyone is fearful.
Always yours...
