Common Investment Mistakes to Avoid

New investors tend to make the same mistakes simply due to inexperience and unfamiliarity with the marketplace. For instance, new investors hear a great deal about market fluctuation and the importance of timing the market. Timing the market assumes that any investor can prognosticate and get ahead of impending changes. Rather than gazing into an investment crystal ball, learn the market and seek counsel from more experienced investors.

Timing the market is one indicator that a new investor jumped into the market without a written plan. Putting a plan down on paper affords investors the ability to set goals.

Many new investors pursue a company or product out of an emotional connection to that entity. Remember to view investments purely as a method of furthering financial goals and opportunities.
