KEY FACTORS FOR FIRST-TIME INVESTORS

Most of us know that investing as much as possible, as often as possible and leaving it invested as long as possible is the ONLY secret to good investing. We did not learn this directly, but we learnt compounding which taught us that 'n' was more important than 'r' simply because n was in the Power of the equation!

If you have no clue about investing and you come from a family that has never invested, it is sensible to get an advisor. Get an advisor who has 10-12 years of experience at least. He or she will keep you grounded in a bull market and build up your courage in a bear market. Think of him as a Financial Coach to whom you can turn for all your money questions.

The ripple effect of a daydream!

The mother's voice is shrill and piercing. \"Nimish, you are such a dreamer. You need to stop this silly habit. Dreams don't pay bills. Only hard work pays off. Use this time on the flight to do some Math sums.\" The son mumbles what is not quite a reply. And in the seat behind, I pinch my AirPods to enter a quieter world—my own dream time. But I see a little nose press against the aircraft window in front and I can sense a pair of small shoulders sag.
