The Anti-Portfolio

This reflects the journey of many retail investors in India, moving from passive to active investing. It underscores the importance of proper research and avoiding common pitfalls like market timing.

• •Started investing in stocks in September 2017 after only buying mutual funds for 5 years.
• •Initially thought markets were overheated but switched to 100% stocks.
• •Believed long-term investing doesn't require much market timing.
• •Initial style was superficial, using screeners for low-valued stocks with high potential.
• •Used Valueresearch, IIFL, Motilal Oswal, Edelweiss, and settled on Screener.in and Trendlyne for research.
