Pitfalls – Rule #1 – Overinvesting in a single stock

JainMatrix Investments shares Pitfalls – Rule #1 in the video below

Dear Investor,

In my Research Analyst advisory practice, I often found that investors can fall in love with a particular stock, and overinvest in it, rather than taking a basket or portfolio approach. This exposes investors to this risk.

In the equity markets, there is always a small probability that any one company can be negatively affected by an unexpected event. It could be a business cycle downturn. It could be a fire in a factory. It could be raising of interest rates by RBI. Or a random or unpredictable event. Some examples of sudden falls can include Yes Bank, IL&FS Ltd., Vakrangee Ltd, Future Retail, etc. These companies suffered a sudden fall in recent years, and surprised many investors, sometimes after many years of doing very well.

The hedge against this for an investor is, to invest in a basket or portfolio of stocks at a time.

Over a period of time this basket or portfolio may have widely different results in terms of individual performances. Some shares may appreciate very well, while others stay flat or worse. But at least the single stock investment risk is not there.

If chosen well, this investment in a group of stocks can be a great step in your wealth building process.
