investment expert
Often, investment products are sold by salesmen.
These salesmen are mistaken as Investment
Experts. By the time you realize the folly, the
Expert vanishes and you are left on your own.

2. Investments are done in lump sums
Risking your lump sum capital at one go might not
be a great idea because you might be assuming
that you can time the market well. Regular
Investments over a period of time smoothens out
market volatility. Starting SIPs are a great way
to ensure regular, disciplined investments.

Decision-making is dominated by fear. In an
un-researched investment decision, you might take
a call to buy in haste. When the market goes
down, you might panic repeat the same mistake

5. Once bitten, twice shy!
After suffering losses, you might become
risk-averse and would want to withdraw to a safe
