Long – term

Warren Buffet says, “If you aren’t willing to own a stock for ten years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes.” Long-term investing is the relationship between volatility and time. Investments held for longer periods tend to exhibit lower volatility than those held for shorter periods. The longer you invest, the more likely you will be able to weather low market periods. Assets with higher short-term volatility risk (such as stocks) tend to have higher returns over the long term than less volatile assets such as money markets. Staying invested in the market over the long term has historically paid off. It is very difficult and risky to time the market. Many people panic when they see reports of a falling stock market. The advantages associated with long-term investing are the potential for compounding. Here’s how it works: When your investments produce earnings, those earnings get reinvested and can earn even more. The more time your money stays invested, the higher the opportunity for compounding and growth

Patience

Warren Buffet wisely said, “The stock market is a device for transferring money from impatient to the patient.” Patience is an essential quality in investing and is an attribute which many investors underrate. In years of investing, it has been witnessed that one too many impatient investors who sold their shares too early, missing out on subsequent gains as the business continued to perform well. Patience is also required to wait for a juicy bargain to appear, which presents an attractive risk-return ratio for the investor. He can then swoop in with his cash to purchase it with a margin of safety. Impatient investors tend to fire too many bullets at less than attractive opportunities, netting them mediocre rather than exemplary performance. 

Diversity

Diversification is a common strategy when building a portfolio which involves investing in a variety of assets rather than one particular asset class. Putting your entire net worth into one stock or asset class is a risky endeavor. If the stock or asset class does not perform, it can do tremendous damage to your portfolio. By diversifying your portfolio, you spread your net worth across multiple asset classes that work in different directions, thus limiting the fluctuations in your performance. Diversifying can put you in a better position to withstand dips in performance and therefore stay the course as you work towards reaching your financial goals. That way if your portfolio is skewed heavily to one asset and they happen to perform poorly, you’re not forced to sell low and accept significant losses.
