There are some absolutely common investment related mistakes that normally NRIs do make, which ultimately proves to be extremely expensive for them, are as per the listed stuff below. Please keep the same in your mind before investing and they would certainly take you forward towards a better future.
Investing without a goal – In case you do not have a goal for your investments then start making them. This would make your money management more efficient and you help you decide and choose on investment tools in a better fashion. Like if you think you would not need you money for some thing before than a year then you are good to invest them in stocks or equities but in case it’s not like that you should think of more easily liquid able instruments to invest in. No matter what you do but start planning for tomorrow, don’t just do it for the sake of doing it.
Emergency Fund – Think what is kind of money that you have as a contingency fund for yourself and your family, what is the amount of insurance amount that you can expect in case some thing there goes wrong, or some one falls ill or in situation of a job loss. So considering these things start investing in insurances, trust me they are your best friends in the time of need.
Booking profits – Set targets for your investments and once the earnings for the same has been done, do not think twice before booking the profits. In case you are greedy then chances are you would loose on the whole of it. So stop being greedy now and start thinking rationally.
Panic selling – Stock market needs nerves of steel and is not for the weak hearted people. So stop selling your stocks in panic. Think plan do some analysis for your self before you consider disposing your holdings.
Borrowing money to invest – Investment is a good idea. But perhaps getting rid of debts first is a better idea. So it’s an absolute no-no to borrow money from some where or some one just to invest, and even worse if you plan to do the same in the stock market. The stock market is never guaranteed. Any thing can happen at any given point of time so never borrow money to invest in the stock market.
Hope these thoughts would be beneficial to you and just consider thinking on these lines before you make your decision.
