Leverage attracts people and vice versa. Whenever we want to
trade or in any case of acquisition, what we expect is not the mere margin profit,
instead we shoot for highly leveraged return. This is primitive emotion of greed.
People making fortune at investments are great example. They invest after checking
the fundamental and what the balance sheet has to offer and invest. This is not
an easy job. They wait for couple of year to compound with a hope of no economic
depression and make lot of money. That is huge. Here, like many modern day technological
leverages are not available, instead they rely upon the opportunity leverage. The
future is full of possibilities and by their analysis they might have found out
the future of the organisation is about to explode. These rich people are very keen
at predicting the outcome by the current, which now has been one of the toughest
job. Because of the exponential curve of growth, predictions are less probable to
tryst upon. Yet wen predict a change, but the accuracy cannot be predetermined.
Even time allocating for fundamental analysis became so relevant because of the uncertainty in behaviour.
With more knowledge, we have diversified views and opinions. When masses diverse,
the opportunity soars and predictions dries.
Investing in oil in the 70s is not a big deal. Mechanical industries
was at its best and transportation was proliferating like a wildfire. There was
immense opportunity. Yet some averse the industry and stuck at the everyday loop.
But those invested a lot of money. They are still enjoying the late fortune. Now
everybody is convinced ( and it is true) about the digital age. Digital industry
isn’t just a progression of monomaniacal path, it is very well diversified and made
a lot of confusion among baby investors. For the experienced ones, they are either
sure or were left the industry. These new investors (including and mainly retail
investors) are influenced by the leverage and expecting a moonshot return. With
little experience and learning, especially in this highly unpredictable world, this
might turn into a foolishness.
Because focusing on leverage
is not about learning to earn, it is about earning to expense. They are playing
finance with lack of financial education. Leverage is incentive and inducing, but
we have to play it smart
