Not a single person became rich by day trading. Never invest borrowed money. Only invest that extra money left after spending on your daily basic needs. So that even if you loose the money then it will not effect your normal life. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your portfolio by investing in different sector stocks. Buy when everyone is selling. The best time for investing in a fundamentally strong stock is in bear market. Follow strategy of buy on every dip. Invest small small amount on every 5-10% fall.

Do your own research and invest only when you are satisfied. Keep patience, understand the power of compoundin...
