Your investment capital looks like this

Featured Investing

Everyone has seen how stock charts look like. But have you seen the chart for your investment capital – how your capital rise and fall with time? The way your investment capital moves depend on the type of investor. I have heavily generalised 3 kinds of charts for the Buy-and-Hold investor, Trader and the Clueless investor. This is important because all of us would always monitor our capital time to time to see if it has grown. By doing this, we subject our happiness to it’s rise and dejection to it’s fall. And whether we still have the tenacity to continue investing when we feel dejected. The end point maybe the same, but the journey can be very different. Find out which of the capital movement chart you prefer and you can find out the type of investor best suits you.

Most of the time the [...]
