'Chitra' Mani Darpan: Selective Absorption in the Financial Arena!: Many people have their own way of understanding things. This is called "selective absorption." It means perceiving only what is pleasant or convenient. The financial world is no exception, as selective absorption is common here too. Consider these examples: • Those who say, "Invest in mutual funds and earn more," often downplay market risks. • "There is unlimited profit in the stock market. The only loss happens if it is misunderstood." But remember, one person's loss is another's gain. • Futures and options may seem more profitable than equity in the stock market. But beware—97% of investors' money ends up in the hands of just 3% of people. Investing without proper knowledge is a significant risk. • News Flash: "Big loss for Reliance in the stock market!" If you're anti-Reliance, don’t rejoice too soon. Remember, all money transactions happen in the secondary market. The company itself does not suffer an immediate loss. • Saving money is important, but that alone is not enough—it must be invested wisely. A final word: Everything I have shared here is for educational purposes only. Always consult an expert before making financial decisions. Cartoon- Script: Vasantha Hosabettu.
