Thus, investing is the same as football, you must start as early as possible to get higher returns. And how that happens? Only when the magic of Power of compounding comes into play.

#2 Are you ready to take calculative risks?

In football, converting penalty is an art. And this is just like selecting the right investment to grow your money. Thus choosing the right funds is equal to choosing the right shooter. The one similarity between Football and investing is that you always need to take the calculative risk, without which there is no greater gain.

In investing, the riskier your investment gets, the greater the reward. While we humans try to minimize risks at all times, a smart investor should look at minimizing risks while maximizing returns. While traditional investment channels like bank FDs and real estate are safer ways to invest, the returns are too low. Invest smartly in assets like equity mutual funds which has higher risks and better rewards.

Yet to learn the tactics of running, he was coached by the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt on his running style and posture. To this, Ronaldo agrees has made a huge impact on his speed and helped to avoid several injuries.

While investing, it’s not too much complicated yet people sometimes make wrong investment decisions due to the fact that they don’t have sufficient time to apply their brains in investment options. Thus, it’s sometimes better to go for PMS (Portfolio management service) through a well-researched company.

With this above information, we’d say that good things generally comes to those who wait and investing is same as the saying goes. You just have to be patient and control over the buy/sell thing while you are seeing market conditions.
