The thing with the stock market is that many of us lack the single most important quality-PATIENCE. When prices rise, we sell out of fear of losing our gains; when prices fall, we sell again—this time out of fear of losing more.

I haven’t been in the market for decades, but in the time I’ve spent researching and participating in it, I’ve realised one fundamental truth-patience is the foundation of successful investing. Everything else matters only after that.

My own experience proves this. During the first COVID wave in 2020, I bought stocks like Bajaj Finance, HDFC Bank, SBI Card, Airtel, Coal India, IndusInd Bank, SAIL, Infosys, HDFC AMC, IEX, Tata Elxsi, and several others which I don’t remember right now—at what were clearly distressed prices due to the CORONA shutdown. I made a simple promise to myself-I would not sell any of these holdings before 2025. A fixed five-year horizon.

That single decision—played a significant role in building my wealth.

I once read a line that stayed with me:
“The moment you start enjoying investing, stop. Investing should be boring.”

And that, perhaps, is the most underrated truth of all.

If someone has not read book - psychology of money, must read. It is fun and easy read. And it gives boring but perfect advice like @ashwinikumar900

My boring and real investment is in mutual fund. I invest in shares just for entertainment. I have lost money in shares little less than I have gained. But it is fun. 😁

In direct equity, you are an active participant, personally responsible for detailed stock observation, research, and decisions. If not doing -
1- One still have many Delisted stocks in portfolio.
2- you can't be inactive for Corporate Action especially Right , FPO & Buyback.

In contrast, mutual funds (MFs) make you a passive participant in terms of direct stock observation, as professional fund managers or index rules handle the underlying stock selection and monitoring. + Corporate Action.
 
Thinking to expand demat ids(frds/family) for more retail than shni.
Is this wise decision?
If you can manage multiple demat, then go ahead.
SHNI application is of no use, there are least chances of getting an allotment.
Instead apply Retail.
Applying 1 BHNI can provide much better return them applying 4-5 SNHI.
If possible for you then try to apply atleast 1 BHNI in every IPO.

For 1BHNi application, usually how much worth shares will be allocated?
It is lottery or proportionate ?
