Stock market investing is an endurance game.
The longer you survive, the more you build wealth.
The shorter you survive, the more you lose money.
Anybody who survives stock market for >10 years is bound to make money.
Not only for himself, his family, his friends & acquaintance.
And I am the one here. I’ve been into stock market for >15 years. Now I’m single handedly responsible to make impact in lives of >1,25,000 people out there connected with me.
It’s an invaluable joy when someone sends screenshots of profits, sends blessings messages & makes money because of you.
That’s the magnitude of impact a person can make having survived here for more than 10 years.
Therefore your broader aim should be to survive the initial 10 years (I know profits is over ultimate motive). Though once you do survive, profits are going to be part of the journey.
Tolerate whatever comes your way. The ups. The downs. The inflation, the recession, wars, crises, volatility, sideways markets, underperformance, etc.
These lessons of tolerance & patience will do wonders to your portfolio & life.
Survive.
