    10: Ep 010 - 6 Investing Mistakes to Avoid

    “The first rule of an investment is don't lose money.
    And the second rule is don't forget the first rule.”     - Warren Buffett.

    This quote reminds us that losing less is equally important. Let us understand this with a simple example. If your 100 rupee becomes 50 you will have to earn a return of 100% to reach 100 again.

    There is so much focus on how to invest right, we often forget to talk about the mistakes we may be making in the first place. In this podcast, Ravi Samalad and Lisa Pallavi Barbora discuss the 6 common mistakes you can avoid while investing.
