Naren emphasizes that investors often make the mistake of investing large sums at market peaks, which can lead to significant losses if the market declines.

Naren also touches upon the importance of understanding one's risk appetite and the need for a balanced portfolio that aligns with long-term financial goals rather than reacting to short-term market movements. He warns against the common investor behavior of chasing high returns without considering the associated risks, which often leads to suboptimal investment decisions.
