You’ve spent hours researching a company, but just before investing, you panic: "Meri Research Sahi hai Na?" (Is my research correct?) 😟

This constant need for external validation and the fear of capital loss is Myth 47, a major behavioral obstacle in Chapter 6: Aftermath and Patience of Investments.

In this psychological episode, we analyze why self-doubt—fueled by market complexity and noise—leads to either total indecisiveness (missing opportunities) or impulsive over-investment without an exit plan.

🎧 Join the conversation to learn:

• The Complexity Excuse: Why the belief that "stock research is only for professionals" leads investors to ignore their own analysis, even when it is correct.

• The Validation Cost: How seeking constant confirmation from others (close ones/rumors) delays action and causes the value of the business model to fade in the face of fear.

• The Solution: Research is not a guarantee of profit; it is a cost of learning. You must build internal conviction through a structured process.

💡 The 4-Point Conviction Builder:Sanchit Taksali insists you beat self-doubt by formalizing your research:

1. Authentic Sources: Rely only on Annual Reports, Investor Presentations, and Management Commentary—not social media gossip.

2. Peer Comparison: Compare your chosen company’s performance against its direct industry competitors.

3. Self-Analysis Summary: Document your investment objective, the amount, and the holding period before investing.

4. Watchlist Strategy: If conviction is low, add the stock to your watchlist and track its performance for two quarters. (This turns "fear of missing out" into a learning opportunity!)
