Hope you haven’t frowned seeing the title. There are many who invest in stocks out of compulsion or impulses. This article is for those. I generally tend to write about people who are like me, middle class, having some money to enjoy life but, mostly trying hard to maximize money’s worth.

People like us, do not usually have money for buying stocks on impulse. Still, it almost happened to me last week. I was on the verge of buying into Facebook on the opening day.

In the end, I did resist myself against buying the Facebook stock. Not that Facebook is a bad investment but, the whole affair was nothing else than impulse buying. I didn’t study the valuation, I wasn’t reading analyst reports. I was just buying it, for the sake of it. Giving in to the hype and hoopla.
