Common myths of investing

• Investing is like gambling

Market is influenced by a wide variety of factors and participants.

• Market is controlled by brokers and rich people

Investing is part art part science. It’s an investment in a business.

• Fallen angels will recover, eventually

It’s not necessary that a stock which has gone down will rise again.

• Stocks that go up must come down

Fundamentals i.e. profits, risk and growth ultimately dictate prices

• Monitoring prices and advice from major players is enough

Analysis of major players may be flawed. Monitor prices to update yourself only.
