๐ซ Investment Mistakes to Avoid
Learn from common investor behavior through real-world case-style examples.
๐ Case 1: Greedy Gopal
Gopal invested in a trending small-cap stock that shot up 100% in 3 months. Instead of booking profit or diversifying, he put in more money hoping for another 2x return.
Unfortunately, the stock crashed due to poor earnings. Gopal lost 70% of his capital.
๐ฑ Case 2: Panicked Priya
Priya started investing in mutual funds via SIPs in 2020. In 2022, during a market correction, her portfolio showed -12% returns. She stopped SIPs and withdrew everything.
Had she continued, she would have seen +35% returns by late 2023.
๐ Case 3: Herding Hari
Hari saw his friends buying crypto in a bull market and rushed in at peak prices without research. When the crash came, he panicked and sold everything at a loss.
He followed the crowd but didn’t understand the risk.
