Episode 5 Mistakes I Made When I Started Investing
This week, Sim breaks down the biggest investing mistakes she made in her first year, from underinvesting in a global index fund that ended up being her best performer to panic selling her first shares and paying fees just to buy them back minutes later. She explains why simple investing usually wins long term, like sticking to broad market index funds instead of trying to stock pick, being realistic about IPO hype, and understanding where bonds or high interest savings can fit in your portfolio. Sim also shares a mistake many beginners make with retirement accounts, staying with a high fee bank default fund for years, and reminds listeners that learning through small missteps is part of building confidence with investing.
