Pitfalls · Beginner
The share market is a gold mine, not an ATM: you don't withdraw gold; you dig for it. Gold is hidden beneath layers of rock; finding it takes patience, sweat, skill, and oftentimes pain. The ground can shift without warning. You don't walk into a mine expecting a spontaneous bounty; you enter prepared to dig, endure uncertainty, and earn your strike.
Don't let brokers, self-styled analysts or market noise do your thinking for you. Learn before you risk; understand before you act; question before you follow. Your hard-earned money deserves knowledge and safeguards. Borrowed conviction can ruin you.
