10 Investing Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Portfolio

View descriptionShare
 

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down 10 common mistakes that investors make and how they can hurt long-term returns.

We discuss the danger of overconcentration, why chasing the hottest trade can derail a sound strategy, and how investors can get lured in by massive revenue growth while ignoring risks hiding on the balance sheet.

We also cover emotional mistakes like fear of missing out, fear of losses, overconfidence, confirmation bias, anchoring to your cost basis, and the sunk cost fallacy. Along the way, we share examples from our own investing experience, including lessons learned from crypto, growth stocks, Telus, Shopify, Allied Properties REIT, and other situations where process mattered more than short-term results.

Whether you invest in individual stocks, ETFs, dividend stocks, or a mix of everything, this episode is a reminder that avoiding big mistakes can be just as important as finding big winners.

Tickers discussed: CRWV, SMH, XEQT.TO, ZEQT.TO, QQQ, T.TO, SHOP.TO, AP.UN.TO, BCE.TO, AQN.TO, SU.TO
