8. Stay Invested

When it comes to stock markets, there is no such entity as ‘stable.’ We all are familiar with the Wall Street crash in the year 1929. Still, the U.S. has done a pretty good job at recovering from it. It has even emerged as the country with the highest GDP. Even Dalal Street has faced its share of the plunging market. We might not have fully recovered from it but we’re doing all that bad. The sole lesson to learn from these incidents is that – persistence is the key to a good future in the stock market. All stock markets provide a flourishing future to people who stay in for a long time. If you give up just after a few setbacks in the stock market, then investing is not your cup of tea.
