Contentment

In my personal opinion, Contentment can also be stated as being happy or fulfilled after performing any action. Why being contented is important in stock market or in any financial instrument ? In making any investment like fixed deposit / recurring deposit / purchasing any bond, we know what is the return for desired tenure and we feel pleased before taking the plan. By this way we feel contented, this contentment will allow us to hold the investment for the desired tenure like 1 year or even 5 years or even more

Let's say we have invested in Fixed deposit and the bankers informs the return would be so much without mentioning the time frame to it. Will we be contented ? Definitely not. There is always a time factor which determines the contentment, particularly in financial world. In other investments, Bankers will gives us the time frame and interest for the amount invested 

In stock market, we should fix our time factor to feel contented. No one will fix the time for your holdings except you. Before investing in stock market, we should know how long are we going to hold any particular stock. We also should know without disturbing the invested stocks compounding, can we manage our expenses for the defined time. If these 2 questions are answered before buying any quality stock, then the compounding will take care of the investment and the contentment towards the investment will be high

When the time given for the investment is high, the returns delivered will also be high. It is not advisable to keep changing the positions / holdings frequently. Most people / traders do not have the contentment towards their holdings, this is one of the main reasons they keep booking the losses or small profits and end up in stress. Working in stock market with stress is like having 0% contentment. In short, To gain wealth be contented, To be contented define the time. Rest will be taken care by compounding (make sure the time given to your investment is the maximum you can give)

People have different opinion in different forms of investments. Let compare stock market investor with real estate investor. The real estate investor buys a piece of land considering that it will give better returns in long term (15 years or 20 years or even more). They don't think about the dividend or bonus when investing in real estate. They feel very contented with that and because of that they hold that for many years. People who buy a land will not go and look at that quiet often. They just visit it in a while to know the status of its surroundings and its value but surprising in stock market, traders keep looking at it all the time to know the status and to book even a small profit immediately

In stock market, many traders (not all) have the opinion of buy today and sell tomorrow or they have the mind set of immediate gratification. I have seen few traders these days, holding a position for a week is too long for them but they would have bought some acres of land 10 years ago and will still hold to it. There might be many reasons but one of the main reasons is not having the contentment in stock market holdings. Many traders are always skeptical about their holdings in stock market. Only having the proper contentment in stock market holdings which is invested consistently with patience can generate abundance wealth over period of time

In stock market, there are options of buying as small as possible and consistently invest over period of time. This might be missing in real estate holdings and making immediate cash or closing any holdings is not easy like stock market. I'm really not against any real estate investments. Real estate investments are good but my view is, people / traders invest in real estate with high level of contentment but the same trader will not have the same level of contentment in stock market investing. This culture or mindset is important in stock market trading / investing

I wish the reader of this blog to define time to be contented in their stock holdings and enjoy abundance wealth over time.

Have a Great Day
