5 investment pitfalls even veterans should beware
Whether it is falling into the value trap, downplaying risks or buying into false promises, it is better to learn from others' mistakes than to make our own
NO one likes making mistakes. If there is one aspect of life that we loathe, it is to admit that something went wrong. When it comes to investing, humans are not infallible.
We will, of course, try our best to avoid errors, but it is a fact that investing involves probabilities and not certainties. I would go as far as to say that investing is neither black nor white, but is often coloured in shades of grey.
The uncertainty inherent in investment decisions means that both novice and veteran investors will fall prey to mistakes. Even experienced investors are not immune from these seemingly obvious errors at times.
