BIGGEST MISTAKES TO AVOID

Pritam Deuskar - Equity investors buy stock in a company with the expectation that it will 
appreciate in value. In a volatile market, equity investing allows investors to profit handsomely. 
Though profits are generated more quickly, the risk factor is also quite high.
According to Wealthyvia’s founder Pritam Deuskar, life is full of ifs and buts. Nobody makes 
bad decisions on purpose in life. Only when the decision is made does it appear to be correct and 
profitable. For an equity investor, every mistake is an opportunity to learn and it is tution fees of 
losses. Someone correctly stated that the biggest mistake in life is not making a mistake. It brings 
your life's learning curve to a halt.
Equity Investors - 4 Biggest Mistakes To Avoid
Cheap valuations does not mean safety
Many times stocks are at lower PE ratio or low price to book 
or low ev/ebitda for a reason. It can be management pedigree 
issue or corporate governance or commoditised segment or 
too many alternatives cheaper products or ways available. 
Companies getting disrupted by other new technologies can 
also have low valuations. Many value traps can have low 
valuations. Wealth from Market can be made when future 
growth is high and sustainable. 
Selling a stock early that is working well 
With stocks we should have an employee / employer 
relationship. If performing well , reward with more 
allocation. If not performing, remove allocation. It's all 
about cutting the weeds and watering flowers. This is what 
Peter Lynch described. Also start with smaller allocation 
and build it higher over a period of time. Exit though painful 
to accept loss. Moving on is always a better option. It's all 
about the time resource that you have and the 
effectiveness of a portfolio working for you increasing your 
money. 
Buying the most popular hot stock! 
According to Pritam Deuskar, if stock is getting discussed everywhere and analysts of the street 
know and boast about the company more than promoters themselves, its time to pause. Fancy of 
markets favor only for some time. Catching a high speed Running train often meets with 
accidents. It is then late to realise that growth is not coming and one entered a wrong valuation.  
Not understanding cyclical part of industry and 
markets
According to Pritam Deuskar, market returns are made 
when business cycle and market cycle coincide. Return 
can get hampered by tailwinds coming for a sector , 
hurdles coming for stock market up move or business 
unable to generate growth. All three have to be in a 
symphony for stock ideas to work wonderfully!
