Decoding Stocks, Investment Mindset & Strategies | Vishal & Meghana Malkan x Karishma Mehta | Ep 40

“At 16, when I used to go to the Bombay Stock Exchange, I’d stand in the corner in an office full of traders as I was the youngest person there. And that’s where I learned the most important lesson in stocks! An old gentleman gave me advice, that to last long in the stock market, you must learn to cut your loss. And this lesson was so powerful—in my 27-years-long journey of being a trader, I’ve followed it and it has saved me from incurring huge losses.”

Having started trading at the young age of 16, Vishal Malkan is a stock trading expert with 27 years of experience. And his partner Meghana Malkan, is a lawyer-turned-high-performance coach, with expertise in trading psychology.
