OUTCOME OF AN INVESTOR'S DECISION

1. The outcome of an investment decision of an investor depends on his temperament, attitude and behaviour, which along with his knowlege and experience, comprises his total investment personality.

2. His temperament is reflected by his ability to complete his financial journey with conviction towards his ideas, and without any distraction from flow of events and noises of people around him.

3. His attitude is reflected by his ability to recognize his emotions, insecurities, overt optimism and mistrust that may lead him to overdo something.

4. His behaviour is reflected by his ability to keep a check on his temperament and attitude to avoid any harm to his wealth.

5. As Warren Buffett once said, "The business schools reward difficult complex behaviour more than simple behaviour, but simple behaviour is more effective".
