Let me tell you a story to make you understand this clearly.
There were 4 very good friends, their names were A, B, C and D. While leaving their college, they decided to meet together after 20 years.
After departing, all got good jobs and happily restarted their life. Out of 4 of these, 3 started investing in Stocks/Mutual Funds while the last one didn’t care about investing.
Friend A followed a disciplined approach of investing and used to invest on next day after getting his salary. Friend B used to study market well and used to invest on the day when market was down. Friend C used to end up investing on the day when market used to be high.
All these friends met after 20 years as they had promised. After sharing all their good/bad days, finally they started discussing about their investment corpus. Here it was:
- Friend A had accumulated 21 Lakhs,
- Friend B had accumulated 22 Lakhs, while
- Friend C had accumulated 20 Lakhs.
- Only friend D had nothing in his corpus, because he was always deferring his investment plans and in this process lost 20 years.
Moral of the story: Just start investing. You will make money as long as you invest, irrespective of which day you invest. Deferring your investment decision to latter days is the only enemy.
