Acting in the right manner is the most important for successful investing; because just knowing the right method doesn’t help you earn money, acting on this method in the right way, does.
So, what is it that prevents you from doing this? The main cause is – Your very own mental traps! – the emotions/ biases that prevent you from acting on this method; in the right way.
So, what can you expect, as you read these Shastras? Those of you who haven’t started investing, can expect that you will now start investing directly and successfully; and those of you who already invest, will take better decisions that can give far superior results

very good information.
To be successful in Stock Markets, ignore Expert Opinions and Keep Focused on Fundamentals. Grab your favorite Stock as much as you can and have a target to exit when conditions are favourable.
Your analysis about taking wrong decision, and changing it when our decision is wrong, is very much applicable not only for share selection , but also in daily life. This is a remarkable psycho analysis. wonderful. Thanks
Do not fall into trap of averaging when stock prices are falling. Either have courage to sell to buy back later, or average (if addicted to this concept) in small amount at a time, preferably when fall seems to have rested for a while.
And yes, not listening to experts is another good point, especially when prices have reached near to your target, if not exactly crossed it. Do not enter into greed phase listening to experts. Remember they are not there to help you make profit, but rather make profit themselves and/or for their paid clients. Many times the experts tips are just there to save their jobs.
