Please help me with feedback.
I came to know about stock market near 2007 to 2008, when my father used to invest in stock market and he lost money and stopped investing in stock market completely.
I thought, I have something in me and I would fare better, traded 30k after my jee exam and played with leverage in intraday and exhausted 20k of the total capital in 2014. Though I won money in initial few days but one big loss and then everything fell apart. My trick was simple buy low and sell high with margin. I had identified a trick that stocks were lower near 10:30 AM and hence would buy at that time and would then go to sleep and then sell in the afternoon. I can not be more wrong. Now I don’t trade and reading book by peter lynch got to know that it is good decision to do so.
After losing money I could not muster enough courage to look again at the market till 2019.
Started putting some money in many mutual funds to see which grows faster on groww. Some were tax savers. In March 2020, again got nervous but put some more money. In next few months, took out all the money from the mutual fund that allowed withdrawal as I had some profit and I thought the market rising is temporary and it will fall again.
Kept thinking the same, till early 2021. My tax saver in which I was unable to withdraw money was up 50 percent plus at the same time read pyschology of money and understood the power of regular sip compared to other possibilities. Started investing again, this time proper sip in mutual funds. Though for each category, picked 2-3 mutual funds and the total mutual funds in which I invested through sip went over 10. I also did other mistakes.
Over 1 year, kept reiterating and current sip in mutual fund looks like this -
- Navi Nifty 50 Index Fund - 10
- Navi Nasdaq 100 - 30
- Midcap 150 quality 50 - 15
- Canara robeco small cap - 20
- Parag parikh tax saver(use it as regular fund) - 25
I prefer mutual funds with low AUM and low beta. I mostly go behind good fund mangers and good fund house in case of active mutual funds.
Mutual funds are more than 70 percent of equity portfolio.
Less than 30 percent is in direct stocks that I have started few months back, thanks to few books and soic.
I though tried my luck in us stock investing in 2021 with small amount and learnt the power of picking profit making, usual suspects at good price. I learnt this by reiterating fast after losing some money in AIRBNB and then recovering back the money in usual suspects like apple, j&j, google after selling AIRBNB, UBER, Lyft and other stocks.
