Avoid Costly Errors — Common Rookie Mistakes to Dodge

Most new investors don’t lose money because markets crash—they lose it on quiet Tuesdays, clicking “buy” and “sell” too often. One famous study found that the busiest traders underperformed badly. In this episode, we’ll explore why doing *less* can actually leave you with *more*.

Each one feels harmless; together, they quietly siphon years of growth from your future.

By now, you’ve opened an account, placed your first trade, and maybe even set up automatic contributions. That’s the fun part. This episode is about protecting all that work from the sneaky stuff that happens after the excitement fades.
