Challenges in Making Money on the Stock Market:


96-97% of businesses are not worth investing in and are better suited for trading.

  • Trading requires early entry and early exit, which goes against human behavior influenced by fear and emotions.
  • Trading before the masses do is essential, but it is extremely difficult to achieve.
  • Averaging down on losing positions may not be effective in trading.

Only about 2-3% of businesses are worth investing in.

  • Evaluating these businesses requires a focus on management intention and efficiency.
  • Identifying ethical management can be challenging due to complex human emotions and greed.
  • Patience is required in investing, which often goes against human nature.

Disclaimer:

The top 1% may achieve success through extreme passion and sacrificing their well-being.

This level of dedication may not be suitable or sustainable for everyone.

Although I have always been intrigued by stock market books, most of the ones I came across were from Western countries. This led me to search for books specifically focused on the Indian stock market, and that's when I came across an incredible book titled "How to Avoid Loss and Earn Consistently in the Stock Market" by Prasenjit Paul.
