@Suryadeep: Objectivity would be a key skill. But I guess, either we are born with it or without it. I will be interested in finding ways to help people improve their objectivity.

@Sumi Fundamental analysis would be an important “knowledge” skill. Thanks for pointing that. Fortunately, it can be easily taught.

I agree with the philosophy of buying for the long term. Market tremors definitely cloud our judgment but we need to move past that if we want to benefit in the long run. It is better to realise the importance of fundamentals early on itself even if people want to trade often I feel they should pick fundamentally strong stocks to atleast ensure some protection to their investments.

Nice post Ranjan!
I believe one quality a good investor should have is a dispassionate outlook towards stocks. But it’s easier said than done. We start loving some stocks so much that we don’t want to exit them in favor of some better opportunities. The hallmark of a good investor is objectivity.
