Mistakes of omission seem to be far more expensive monetarily, while mistakes of commission, on the investor psyche

Mistakes of omission:

  • HDFC bank seems to be the common theme - How to avoid?
  • Prof. Bakshi has alluded to this several times in several forms - Pay up for the best asset and then sit tight; Quality means pay-up
Mistakes of commission:
  • Infrastructure companies: Lesson learnt - Sell duds at any price
  • MTNL: Public sector value trap
  • Central Bank of India - Bull market (that is happening right now) takes everything up - hangover happens after the party not before
  • Visualsoft: Laggards will always appear cheap
Other takeaways:
  • There is no remedy to lack of conviction - Investing is a lonely game! cannot blame an analyst for buying or selling something
  • Experts fail very often cos they cannot keep noise at bay
  • Distance from management is a critical component of success - again for keeping noise at bay
