Stock picking vs Investing
Mar 16, 2022
Albert Einstein famously said, “Compound interest is the strongest force in the world. If you fail to understand it, you will have to pay it and if you do, you earn it”.
Stock investing is merely a game for some, it brings them the thrill to think, “I knew when to sell and see now I'm richer”. For others, the goal of investing is to gradually build wealth over time.
Whatever the agenda, it’s important to buy well-researched companies. In picking individual stocks, the fate of the investment is linked to the fortunes of the company. This becomes a double edged sword. On one hand, there’s the potential for a massive payout if the company does well. On the other hand, there’s a risk of losing money if the company does not perform well.
An investor who picks single stocks has to contend with the following.
1. Research: Investing in a good company involves researching several things. Reading financial statements, keeping track of the economy and so on. It takes time and effort to do this well.
2. Tracking: Successful investing doesn’t stop at just picking a good company. Companies are affected by day to day happenings in the economy. A good investor needs to keep track of these changes.
3. Risk: Despite one’s best efforts, companies sometimes don’t live up to their potential. This leads to loss on the investment. Investors need to constantly be on their toes to monitor the happenings in the economy and add or remove stocks accordingly.
4. Emotions: Since the market is volatile, investors often find it difficult to cope with the ups and downs. This volatility often throws people off from meeting their long term goals.
Easier way to do it is through investing pre-built baskets of stocks or ETFs like Mutual Funds, PMS, and smallcases. Today let’s look at smallcases in detail.
