#StockMarket - While there are #Multibaggers there can be #Multifailures as well. Here is a thread on key mistakes that may happen during the journey. I have been thru all these mistakes myself.....

1. Leverage can be key mistake that usually happen either when we get carried away in euphoria or are finding shortcuts during early part of journey. Even if you need to take leverage, it should be based on your net worth, risk profile and in right stocks.
#NoShortcuts
2. Selling too early just because it has run up too much too fast. Till there is a visibility of business potential and company growth path, one should ride the growth as maximum as possible.
#StayPut
3. Buying too late just because of noise / momentum and fear of missing out. Never ignore the valuations, business potential and company fundamentals while going with any suggestions. Always do your own due diligence.
#CutTheNoise
4. Buying too big too early and then selling while patience is being tested. Build the position towards upside especially for any new stock finding. Build onto the conviction with a visible growth in numbers.
5. Buying based on borrowed ideas. Do remember that when markets are down, we will exit all the borrowed names first & in all probability at a loss. Conviction developed after own research has got no comparisons.
6. Acting in upward euphoria or downside panic. These are momentum phases where valuations go beyond realistic levels & deserves a price as well as time correction.

Buying in upward euphoria or selling in downward panic is not advisable.
7. Running after people who keep selling their own ideas rather than listening & understanding your own thought and brainstorming on it.

Be with the balanced people who listen, respect & motivate you in discussions. Tricky but very useful.
8. We should exit out as soon as we realize that we are wrong in our stock picking.

Learn to take losses quickly, don't expect to be right all the time.

Learn from your mistakes, review self and just move on.
9. Over analysis - trying to find literally a perfect stock may make us miss many opportunities on the way.

The more we think we know, the more closed-minded we'll be.

Over-Thinking, Over-Analysis, Over-Research...may do more harm than good..Keep It Simple.
10. Over confidence made me start predicting something I was not too experienced into...and it made me skip my own basic investment rules.

Learning is to stay balanced in thoughts so as to not get carried away by own success.

Stay humble to stay focused with a purpose.
11. Under confidence made me start doubting my own research & conviction.

Learning is that we cannot outperform at everytime & wherever we have done our own research, there is no point to search outside for negative views.

Patience & Discipline are most important.
12. Ignoring business potential & reacting in panic in weak markets can make us sell at lows & buy again at highs.

You need to stay away from noise to stay focused on own convictions. Opportunities aplenty at any point of time.

#StockMarket #stocks #investing #behaviour
13. Tracking stock prices too closely may, in all probability, tempt you to do shuffle from conviction to momentum. In the process, u may end up buying at highs & selling at lows

Momentum comes sooner or later in every right stock & hence every stock gives entry/exit opportunity
14. #Stockmarket may not respect us if we do not respect the valuations of our #Stocks - follow a strict valuations framework to keep doing good in all kind of market sentiments.
Some stocks may be expensive at 10 PE while some maybe cheap at 50. Study well to plan well.
15. Everytime I believed in -ve voices, I lost on key parameters viz confidence & stock picking approach. Sooner I learnt, reviewed myself & got back to basics, things started looking back up again

Point is to avoid negativity to the best even though risks need to be understood
16. Staying away from negativity especially during tough days helps stay on the right path. There will be fear mongers, critics, perfectionists all around who may distract us while they fulfill their own vested interests.

Best time to stay in isolation, read / research / review
17. Trying to catch a falling knife may not work in every case

Few businesses/companies have inherent strength&weakness

Stay balanced in thoughts while analyzing both +ves & -ves. Take time to really enter stock in extreme negative noise especially when noise is on fundamentals
18. Trying to buy into businesses where management comes too often on media, is into investor meets, meet 1-1 with investors.

Such managements have more focus on stock price rather than business.

Point is, ultimately, it is the market that discovers the price at it's own time.
19. Overestimating risk during bear days & Underestimating risk during bull days do more harm to us than good.

Utilize bear days to research deep to buy more into high convictions or businesses that are going thru extreme noise.

Utilize bull days to regularly book profits.
20. Management quality is of utmost importance. I had written a thread on quality few days back, please go thru.

Good managements are focused on business, they don't criticize others as well as they don't promote stock price.
21. There are no shortcuts in wealth creation. F&O may sound tempting however one bad day can take away everything.

There is a saying in casino "You may win 100 ten times however you may lose 10,000 one time."
22. Noise shouldn't be ignored especially if it's continuous & on company fundamentals

Research deep into companies & businesses like Yes bank, Indiabulls grp, ADAG, Financials, RealEstate, Jewellery, Trading, Infra...

If something starts bothering u, it's no more a conviction
23. Common Investment mistakes

~ No goals, no objective, no plan
~ Over-activity, too much & too often
~ Not enough diversification, no meaningful Concentration
~ Extra belief in paid advisors
~ Chasing momentum
~ Mixing short & long term
~ Ignoring taxes
~ No self review
24. While understanding management credibility, most important to understand is management zeal & passion towards running & growing the business.

Great businesses may just die down a slow death if management is too conservative & has no competitive stance.

2. End the workday with a shutdown ritual

Create a short shutdown ritual (hat-tip to Cal Newport). Close your laptop, plug in the charger, spend 2 minutes tidying your desk. Then say, "shutdown."

Separating your life and work is key.

3. Journal 1 beautiful life moment

Delicious tacos, presentation you crushed, a moment of inner peace. Write it down.

Gratitude programs a mindset of abundance.

4. Lay out clothes

Get exercise clothes ready for tomorrow. Upon waking up, jump rope for 2 mins. It will activate your mind + body.

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
🌺कैसे बने गरुड़ भगवान विष्णु के वाहन और क्यों दो भागों में फटी होती है नागों की जिह्वा🌺

महर्षि कश्यप की तेरह पत्नियां थीं।लेकिन विनता व कद्रु नामक अपनी दो पत्नियों से उन्हे विशेष लगाव था।एक दिन महर्षि आनन्दभाव में बैठे थे कि तभी वे दोनों उनके समीप आकर उनके पैर दबाने लगी।


प्रसन्न होकर महर्षि कश्यप बोले,"मुझे तुम दोनों से विशेष लगाव है, इसलिए यदि तुम्हारी कोई विशेष इच्छा हो तो मुझे बताओ। मैं उसे अवश्य पूरा करूंगा ।"

कद्रू बोली,"स्वामी! मेरी इच्छा है कि मैं हज़ार पुत्रों की मां बनूंगी।"
विनता बोली,"स्वामी! मुझे केवल एक पुत्र की मां बनना है जो इतना बलवान हो की कद्रू के हज़ार पुत्रों पर भारी पड़े।"
महर्षि बोले,"शीघ्र ही मैं यज्ञ करूंगा और यज्ञ के उपरांत तुम दोनो की इच्छाएं अवश्य पूर्ण होंगी"।


महर्षि ने यज्ञ किया,विनता व कद्रू को आशीर्वाद देकर तपस्या करने चले गए। कुछ काल पश्चात कद्रू ने हज़ार अंडों से काले सर्पों को जन्म दिया व विनता ने एक अंडे से तेजस्वी बालक को जन्म दिया जिसका नाम गरूड़ रखा।जैसे जैसे समय बीता गरुड़ बलवान होता गया और कद्रू के पुत्रों पर भारी पड़ने लगा


परिणामस्वरूप दिन प्रतिदिन कद्रू व विनता के सम्बंधों में कटुता बढ़ती गयी।एकदिन जब दोनो भ्रमण कर रहीं थी तब कद्रू ने दूर खड़े सफेद घोड़े को देख कर कहा,"बता सकती हो विनता!दूर खड़ा वो घोड़ा किस रंग का है?"
विनता बोली,"सफेद रंग का"।
तो कद्रू बोली,"शर्त लगाती हो? इसकी पूँछ तो काली है"।
