🎯The most common investing mistakes:✨✨

✨1. Expecting Too Much
Having reasonable return expectations helps investors keep a long-term view without reacting emotionally.

✨2. No Investment Goals
Often investors focus on short-term returns or the latest investment craze instead of their long-term investment goals.

✨3. Not Diversifying
Diversifying prevents a single stock from drastically impacting the value of your portfolio.

✨4. Focusing on the Short Term
It’s easy to focus on the short term, but this can make investors second-guess their original strategy and make careless decisions.

✨5. Buying High and Selling Low
Investor behavior during market swings often hinders overall performance.

✨6. Trading Too Much

✨7. Paying Too Much in Fees
Fees can meaningfully impact your overall investment performance, especially over the long run.

✨8. Focusing Too Much on Taxes
While tax-loss harvesting can boost returns, making a decision solely based on its tax consequences may not always be merited.

✨9. Not Reviewing Investments Regularly
Review your portfolio quarterly or annually to make sure you’re staying on track or if your portfolio is in need of rebalancing.

✨10. Misunderstanding Risk
Too much risk can take you out of your comfort zone, but too little risk may result in lower returns that do not reach your financial goals. Recognize the right balance for your personal situation.

✨11. Not Knowing Your Performance
Often, investors don’t actually know the performance of their investments. Review your returns to track if you are meeting your investment goals factoring in fees and inflation.

✨12. Reacting to the Media
Negative news in the short-term can trigger fear, but remember to focus on the long run.💞
