        "content": "<p>Yogyakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Investing in stocks indeed offers\nattractive profit potential for investors. However, as stocks are a\nhigh-risk instrument, investors must have strong mental resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Professional Investor and Trader Michael Yeoh said that one of the\nfirst things beginners entering the stock market must address is making\npeace with themselves.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, every investor or trader must strengthen their mental\nfortitude first. Avoid traits such as seeking revenge, unwillingness to\nlose, and selfishness. The dynamics of the stock market can either\nhumble investors or shatter their mental strength.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you become humble, it means you will grow, because humble people\nare willing to learn. If your mental strength is broken, you end up like\nme\u2014starting with a capital of Rp10 million and over five years,\u201d he said\nduring an Edu Class session titled \u2018If You Have Rp10-100 Million Today,\nWhere Would You Put It?\u2019, published Sunday (24\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Michael has extensive experience in stock investment and trading.\nHowever, not all experiences were pleasant. He admitted to seeing his\nportfolio surge from an initial Rp10 million to Rp100 million in three\nyears, only to drop back to Rp10 million by the fifth year.<\/p>\n<p>The failure was due to Michael\u2019s excessive confidence during a\nbullish market, leading to incorrect strategies. He even considered\nquitting as an investor after realising the stock market is hard to\nconquer.<\/p>\n<p>However, Michael decided to evaluate his mistakes, particularly\nregarding his mental approach to managing finances and investment\nportfolios.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI finally realised I was selling too quickly. I revised my approach,\nunderstanding that the issue wasn\u2019t the exchange, the stocks, or the\nanalysis\u2014it was my own fear,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Michael is now a successful stock investor and trader with an\nestimated portfolio value of Rp58 billion.<\/p>",
