Frequently Asked Questions About Investing

How much should a beginner start investing in the stock market?

+
Begin with a small automated monthly SIP in a low-cost, broad-market index fund (such as Nifty 50 or S&P 500) that you won't touch for at least 5-7 years, while keeping 6 months of living expenses secure in a liquid emergency fund.

What is the 15-15-15 rule of compounding?

+
Investing ₹15,000 per month for 15 years at an expected 15% CAGR compounding return mathematically yields approximately ₹1 Crore in total wealth.

Why do most retail investors lose money in the stock market?

+
Impatience and emotional panic: chasing speculative stock tips, gambling on weekly options (F&O), panic selling during standard market corrections, and trading without risk management.
