The investment market is peppered with multiple investment options that serve myriad purposes and goals. While some investments can provide downside protection to your portfolio there are others that can give a sharp fillip to your portfolio in terms of growth. Inevitably, when you think of portfolio growth you think of equities. The equity markets have always held a certain charm for investors, luring them with the promise of riches. But, the thing is that equity markets move in cycles. When they are down we bemoan the losses that accrue due to a fall in stock prices and when markets go up we celebrate their wealth creation potential.

However, during a bull market, when equities are going up and your portfolio is getting layered with gains, most investors throw caution to the wind and make mistakes that can prove to be very costly in the long run. To get you ahead of the curve, we share with you the top mistakes that you should try and avoid in bull markets.
