While on the subject, another most common and important trap that sucks investors is when they buy at a price that 'discounts all the expectations'. e.g. buying in euphoric times, buying most popular/most discussed/flavour of the season types etc.

Needless to say, the returns on such investments are mostly horrendous and in majority of the cases can't even match Post Office Deposit rates.

No matter how much others rubbish that country (or its successive governments), it will remain superior and a magnet for those with initiative.
