Unlocking Finance: Specializing in CFA & FRM Exam Prep • Founder: Fintelligents • 10,000+ Students Mentored • Ex Nomura • Ex Morgan Stanley • Ex Kotak

If you would have invested ₹10 lakh in stock A in 2014 then it would have turned to ₹100 crore by now. 

But it doesn't happen that way.

Honestly saying - more than 90% of the retail investors would have sold it just after doubling their money or even at a 40-50% profit.

It's very easy to say words like patience, conviction, long-term etc. on social media but extremely hard to follow in real life.

Mutual funds are way better than direct stocks for retailers who don't have time to understand and track a company.

It's the mentality of many people to see stocks as gambling but not mutual funds as funds don't move by 20% in a day (but some stocks do).

So instead of worrying about finding that stock which can turn your ₹10 lakh to ₹100 crore - stick to mutual funds. (Ofc if you can't do investing full time)

Or take services of any experienced advisory firm for direct stocks.
