Hi All,
Investing in the stock markets is possibly known as one of the best ways to create wealth in the long term. However, with the potentially lucrative returns comes inherent short-term volatility. This makes many investors uncomfortable.
A âbuy and holdâ strategy, also known as long-term investing, can help sail through market volatility. While there is no shortcut to wealth creation, there are tried and tested principles that you can follow for long-term wealth creation. These usually includeâŚ
- The Magic of Compounding: To witness compounding of any form in the market, you have to be invested for the long term. It requires discipline, and of course belief in your investments.
- Investing without Emotions: Overcoming emotions in the short-term for profits or losses, to see the magic of compounded returns in the long term.
While everyone usually acknowledges the benefits of long-term investing, the most common mistake investors usually make is - panic selling. Falling markets can make investors uncomfortable. The question is⌠if youâve chosen solid stocks and are on track to meet your long-term financial goals, why sell at all?
