Patience is the key when investing in equity!
1. For equity stocks, we also need belief in market, time to research companies, and conviction to do this too.
2. Blindly investing in stocks, in the hope of hitting a jackpot with few, is a gamble if done on the basis of their quotations and news.
3. It's also a myth spread by advisors that stocks always give good returns in the long term, as catch is that ‘long term’ is never defined by them and fluctuates as per convenience.
4. Even bluechips and moats can't remain immune despite the best ways of logical evaluations.
5. It's, therefore, better to deploy hard-earned money in diversified mutual funds systematically within one's risk profile.
6. Mutual funds are run professionally by teams which devote full time, money and energy for taking all decisions on our behalf, and we should acknowledge that they are better equipped for it.
7. Investing in stocks and mutual funds are totally different, as buying and selling stocks is an art mastered by few but imitated by many.
8. At the end of the day, for a long-term equity investor, it's more economical to review, rebalance, add and weed out mutual funds than stocks - provided greed of "highest returns" isn't criteria of investment - while increasing his income for further investment through expertise in one's own professional field.
