The moment you buy a stock, the panic starts: "Sahi Liya na? Should I have waited longer? What if it crashes?" 😥

This cycle of constant Second-Guessing (बार-बार संदेह) is Myth 48, where investors prematurely book profits or losses simply to relieve the intense mental tension (तनाव) caused by self-doubt.

In this pivotal episode of The Middle-Class Mistake, we explain how this confusion—rooted in low confidence and lack of conviction—destroys your strategic goal.

🎧 Join the conversation to learn:

• The Tension Exit: Why the belief that "if it causes tension, I must exit" leads to sabotaging long-term winners and cutting losses too early.

• The Cost of Doubt: How lack of conviction forces you to seek continuous external validation (from influencers/friends), rather than trusting your own research.

• The Solution: Strategy over Sentiment. Learn to manage your emotions by relying on pre-defined facts, not daily impulses.

💡 The 4-Point Self-Conviction Builder:Sanchit Taksali insists you must reduce mental stress through discipline, not selling:

1. Stop Monitoring: For long-term holdings, avoid looking at daily stock prices.

2. Margin of Safety: Set a clear Stop Loss beforehand to define your maximum risk (security margin).

3. Fact Check: When doubt arises, analyze: Is this anxiety numerical (due to a corporate report) or purely emotional (due to market noise)?

4. Exposure Check: Am I simply overexposed? What is the realized risk in my portfolio right now?
