Learn more about investing on the Tickertape app. (We're only available on Android for now) ____ Is Stock Picking a good idea? but picking the perfect stock to invest in isn’t easy.

Learn more about investing on the Tickertape app. (We're only available on Android for now) ____ Debt funds seem to be somewhat of a mystery. We’re often told about the benefits. About how they are great vehicle for investors who are looking for steady and stable returns. About the fact that if you have a fixed goal, debt can be a great way to achieve that goal.

Learn more about investing on the Tickertape app. (We're only available on Android for now) ____ When our portfolio is in the green, we often credit our skill and knowledge for the success. BUT, when our portfolios aren’t looking too great, we often attribute the  losses to “bad luck” or “the down market” This is fundamentally because, as humans, we have inherent biases, that prevent us from seeing the absolute truth of why things happen. Now, if you’re able to understand these biases, and truly analyze whether your recent performance has been through luck or skill, you will have a mindset edge over everybody else investing in the stock market. How do you build that mindset edge? How do you minimize the element of luck and maximize your skill when it comes to investing? And to do this, we spoke to Harish Krishnan, who’s a senior fund manager at Kotak Mahindra ____ Follow Harish on LinkedIn

Learn more about investing on the Tickertape app. (We're only available on Android for now) ____ Humans are such an interesting species. We’ve been able to survive and prosper through so many difficult periods in history. Through Ice-Ages, Heat Waves, Predator Attacks, famins and so much more, we’re still here. And so many of the survival instincts that have led us through these difficult periods in history, have been deeply ingrained into our subconscious mind, to help us make fast and instinctual decisions. But, some of these strengths that have got us to where we are today, are actually flaws when it comes to investing. Because they create psychological biases, that prevent us from making the right decisions at the right time. And in this episode of the Where’s My Money podcast, we explore the question. Should we ignore our gut instinct and follow formulas to make our investment decisions? To explore this, we spoke to Rukun Tarachandani, who’s a VP at PPFAS Mutual Fund. ____ Follow Rukun on LinkedIn Follow PPFAS on Twitter @PPFAS Subscribe to PPFAS's Mutual Fund
