Tekaroid reflects on the lessons learned from our earliest investment mistakes, and explores how a long term mindset can open the door to emerging opportunities. We recommend new sectors to invest in for 2026.
At Tekaroid our first steps into investing were marked by panic rather than strategy. Every time a position moved downward, even slightly, we reacted with fear and sold before the situation had time to stabilise. The constant habit of checking prices, refreshing charts and worrying about every small change created a cycle of stress that drained energy and led to decisions we later regretted. With time we learned that long term investing reduces this emotional noise almost entirely. It removes the need to monitor every movement, keeps the mind clear and prevents the impulsive actions that usually harm new investors.
We also realised that this pattern is extremely common. Many beginners approach investing with enthusiasm and a sense of urgency. They deposit money, feel excited by the idea of growth and then spend entire days watching the screen. The moment the market dips, fear takes over. What starts as motivation quickly becomes anxiety, and panic selling often follows. The result is predictable: losses that could have been avoided simply by giving the investment more time.
Long horizon changes everything
A long term mindset shifts attention away from short term noise and directs it toward slow, structural changes in the global economy. Volatility does not disappear, but it becomes much less threatening when seen within a broader context.
This strategy also reduces emotional fatigue. Instead of reacting to every wave, investors learn to observe patterns that develop across several cycles. The process becomes calmer and more rational. Even modest contributions can grow significantly if they remain untouched during periods of turbulence. Just do not think, as The Beatles said, let it be.
New sectors and companies to invest in
The transition now taking place in energy, mobility and industry has opened possibilities that did not exist a decade ago. Electric transport continues to expand as governments and manufacturers are looking to move away from petrol contamination. Renewable power grows steadily as society is searching for cleaner and more stable energy sources. At the same time, automation, artificial intelligence and advanced industrial processes are becoming central to global production.
The rise of digital infrastructure also plays a defining role. Cloud systems, data processing networks and cybersecurity frameworks support nearly every modern service, and their expansion shows no sign of slowing. Their progress often comes in irregular waves, with moments of rapid advancement followed by periods of uncertainty. These developments move at different speeds, yet together they represent a structural transformation that is likely to influence the next decade of investments.
Recommended industries to invest in for 2026
Here we present a selection of industries that show long term growth potential. At Tekaroid we study these fields closely and our experience has shown how powerful long horizon investing can be when approached with patience and discipline. Even so, we encourage every reader to invest responsibly and to remember that this article reflects an analytical opinion, not personalised financial advice. With that in mind, we now introduce a list of sectors that may shape the coming decade, industries that are growing right now:
-Artificial intelligence and machine learning systems: AI continues to expand and creating long term investment potential as companies integrate intelligent systems into their core operations.
-Green hydrogen and alternative fuels: As industries search for cleaner energy options, green hydrogen is gaining importance. Early investment exposure may benefit from future adoption in transport and heavy industry.
-Digital infrastructure and cloud expansion: Cloud services and data centres remain essential for global digital activity. Long term demand for storage, connectivity and high performance computing makes this a stable investment trend.
-Smart mobility and autonomous systems: This sector offers long term growth as too many countries shift toward electric mobility solutions.
-Climate technology and carbon reduction solutions: Governments and companies are investing heavily in emission reduction tools. Climate technology represents a growing market.
-Cybersecurity and digital protection: This sector offers consistent, long term investment potential due to its essential role in protecting modern infrastructure.
Balancing investments
Innovation has the potential to reshape entire markets, but it also brings volatility. Emerging industries experience enthusiasm and hesitation in cycles, and long term investors must be prepared for both. The aim is not to concentrate all capital in high growth areas but to integrate them into a broader and more stable structure. This balance allows investors to benefit from future developments without exposing themselves entirely to the fluctuations that accompany early stage technologies.
The journey at Tekaroid taught us that patience is far more valuable than constant monitoring. Long term investing reduces the stress that once shaped our worst decisions and allows the market to unfold in a way that short term thinking cannot match. As the world adopts new forms of energy, digital infrastructure and intelligent automation, the next decade is likely to be defined by these expanding industries.
