Stock Investment: Focus on the Journey instead of Achievement - The Benefits of Self Investment

0 comments
For stock market investment, the journey shall be what you experience from the beginning to the end of your investment. I have invested in stock market for more than 10 years, meaning that my journey has more than 10 years. When is the end of my investment journey, I believe it should be when I was unable to invest by myself.

There are many benefits that I get throughout the journey of investment:

(a) To gain the knowledge about how interested companies manage their business.
This is very difficult to earn *big* money. Due to competition, most of companies can only maintain a 5-15 net profit margin.  Thus, any "special" investment due to your "special luck" is probably a scam.


(b) To know about what are the consequences to the business when an event happens e.g. Covid-19. 
This is very important for me to improve my common senses and understanding about this world e.g. the effects of currency, interest rate, commonity, government policy etc. 


(c) To digest the information that published directly from listed companies without polished by third parties. 
No specific comment that I would like to share as it is my personal preference to figure out the fact by myself. Of course, I do read those third parties' published works as the content is much interesting.

In short, the journey of investment improves my confidence in making a decision. Even a decision is incorrect, I do learn something from the decision.
