Leverage is good when used smartly

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

Private blockchain

The ledger in blockchain need not necessarily backed by a currency. For a system that need large amount of nodes, like in case of public permissioned blockchain, it is essential to give an incentive either in form of reduction in transaction fee or some currencies. This is a high incentive for those who works with high computational powers. They would demand this. But in case of private blockchain there is no need of providing a currency in the form of incentives. Private blockchains are used when the peer nods comes to know each at least half of them. They form a network of peer group and validate the transactions. Since private blockchain entitles the identity of each nodes, it is impossible to get a lot of people through. So these private blockchain lacks popularity and hence there is no coin. But this is extremely helpful in large corporations to store and validate data. They can create a supply chain where everything could be traceable form the very beginning. It involves no s...

Investing with index

Expecting return a way more than the index average can be of greed influence. Index do gives a handsome return that sometimes even surpasses majority of the stock performance. But it is also true that index may stands still for some years. Yet in the very long it is way better than FDs.

FOMO dilemma

With an obsession over a thing, the given effort seems effortless. We will spend hours tirelessly and even make it to the next top level. But we develop this affectionate obsession with only a few items and most of them are addictive as well s destructive. We see this happen with people eagerly waiting for an episode of their favorite TV show. Since we do most of the fundamentals with what is most pleasurable than what is actually productive, we often fall into this trap of fake FOMOs. FOMO can be interpreted in two ways.  The first one is in the form of pleasing the external world. Protecting ourselves from being an idiot in the crowd. This is embarrassing to most people since they seek validation from the external world all the time. They are not allowed to miss what's trending, the new episodes of tv shows, celebrity divorce, millions of viewed videos, and much garbage stuff. In the process of showing the external world that you're up to date with what is happening in the tr...
