Turns out, A farmer is no different from an investor. Here are a few qualities that every investor must inculcate in themselves.
- Do not shout at the crops: Just as a farmer doesn't shout at their crops, investors should remain patient and avoid making impulsive decisions when market conditions are unfavorable.
- Do not blame the crop for not growing fast enough: Blaming a crop for not growing quickly is just stupid. Likewise, investors should have realistic expectations about the pace of returns.
- Do not uproot a crop before they have had a fair chance to grow: Like not uprooting a crop prematurely, investors should resist the urge to constantly change their investment strategy before giving it a fair chance to mature.
- Choose the best plants for your soil: Just as a farmer selects the best plants for their soil, investors should carefully choose investments that align with their financial goals and risk tolerance.
- Irrigate and fertilize only as needed: Investors should allocate their resources wisely, avoiding overinvestment or excessive trading.
- Periodically remove the weed: This translates to regular portfolio review and adjusting for underperforming assets.
- You will experience both good and bad harvest seasons: Investors should recognize that both good and bad market seasons are part of the investment journey
- You cannot control the weather, Only be prepared for it: Just as farmers can't control the weather, investors can't control market conditions. However, they can be prepared by diversifying their portfolios, having a risk management strategy, and staying informed about economic trends.
Now you are ready to be a Farmer Cum Investor!
