Common Mistakes First-Time Investors Make

Jumping into investments without understanding market basics often leads to poor decisions and unnecessary losses.

Many beginners follow market trends blindly, buying high and selling low due to fear or hype.

Ignoring diversification can be risky — putting all money in one stock or sector increases vulnerability.

Failing to set clear financial goals leaves investors without direction or strategy for long-term success.

Neglecting research and due diligence before investing often results in backing weak or overvalued companies.

Panicking during market dips leads to emotional selling, which can turn temporary losses into permanent ones.
