Top 3 reasons why making money from stocks is difficult

1. Linear thinking (Most of us want regular returns. But markets do not give returns every year. There are months or years when nothing happens) 2. Quick gratification (Temptation to 'book' your small profits and then later regret looking at the meteoric rise of good companies) 3. Believing stories (Our opinion often gets shaped by what we read or hear. Unfortunately, what we read or hear is often something that's been sold to us. It's crucial to separate stories from actionable information)

“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea"

A= P(1+R)^N Where, A= Total portfolio value P= Principal value R= Rate of return  N= No. of years This simple formula should be remembered.  Try to keep simple. P, R, and N all need to be alive P= JOB/ Business N= Health R= Productivity  FYI, N is exponential, Maths students can understand This😄
