Howard Marks: The biggest mistake investors make

In this interview with Infomoney, Howard Marks highlights the importance of emotional control and risk tolerance when investing. The biggest mistake investors make, according to Marks, is taking on too much risk, which leads to panic selling during market downturns. This is because we, as investors, are not able to handle the volatility and thus end up selling our investments at low prices, resulting in a realized loss.

The biggest mistake people make is they take on too much risk and when and they get into a tough period and things go down and they can’t live with it so they panic and they sell when things are down.
