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

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.

Dark imperialism

Imperialism sometimes can be be referred as looting. The most effective way to show the power is to acquire more land as possible. This is was the motive behind imperialism that once it was flourishing. Although they knew somehow this will not be their land forever, they started looting and looted at utmost.

Having a desired principle

Having a principle to act upon creates an outcome that is swayed towards the desired one. When we look at the behavioural psychology of a person, there must be some principle acts on. Having an intended principle than an unintentional created the desired outcome.

Necessity of breaks

Occasionally, achieving concentration can prove to be a formidable challenge. This difficulty may stem from an array of factors, and notably, the subject matter at hand significantly influences this endeavor. Engaging with material where one possesses foundational knowledge often facilitates a smoother focus. In such instances, allowing the mind some respite to unwind and decompress can be exceedingly beneficial. The necessary duration of this interlude varies significantly among individuals, yet the utility of such breaks is undeniable. Empirical evidence suggests that intervals of relaxation interspersed with periods of effortful concentration can greatly enhance learning efficiency, surpassing the outcomes of attempting to maintain uninterrupted focus amidst a milieu of distraction.

Knowledge gap

Sometime the barrier lies in lack of knowledge. People often tend to develop their life using their existing knowledge which they tried and failed many times. Even while taking the financial decision people focus on planning what's they planned before and slay there. They might be good at the existing tried and failed planning. But learning about the different methods and concepts, they can actually make a better decision. 

Cash flow of companies

One in three main thing that can be used to evaluate a company whether to invest or to learn is to analyse it's cash flow statement. It is equally important as reviewing the balance sheet and p&l statement. Everyone keenly focus on the numbers in these colomns before investing. Everyone should if he is to invest. But cash flow, they mostly give less importance. One reason is that they just need to know whether it is positive or negative. If it is positive, good. Negative, then need to analyze further more deeply. We can get a sense of the operational and financial activities from cash flow statements. And by combining our findings from here to over-all findings will lead to a good sense of this company.

Focus on the fundamentals

Panic selling the cause of loss. If we invest in a very good company with strong fundamentals and a leading player in the growing industry, there is no point in worrying about the correctionms that the market gives. Market always corrects if the valuations are in a state of bubble. You should be focusing on companies that are fundamentally good.
