4 types of investments

 A retail investor, he must know the different phases of investment that companies undergo. Not each and every, but almost all companies.

The first ones are from the founders. They muster their hard-earned money or money in exchange for some obligation to build the company. Actually, this is the initial investment and the best part is they can take as much as share they want. If it is founded by a single, he owns every share at the initial stage. But as the company grows, like any other company, it requires money for its future growth. So what the founders and chiefs of the company do this time is that they go to an Angel.

Angel investors are the second-term investors backed up by their own money. This looks closely to each and every corner of the business and after a lot of obscure examination, they either accept or neglect the offer. If they’re to invest, they will do so by pledging share in return. Since the company is still at its initial stage, the ‘angels’ will get a large number of shares for the least money. This will generate a multi-bagger return if the company is about to outperform the industry.

Next comes the big VCs. These are giant corporations that invest a large amount of money. They only invest after the company proves that they can stand and progress efficiently with their current management and system. These instructions do take risks, but not like betting at the initial stages. Even though they pour money, they won’t get the same amount of shares they desire. Because the company is more valuable than before and the responsibilities and obligations are more than before.

Even from big VCs, sometimes companies might face financial challenges that lead them to go public. Going public can be a game-changer. By going public and raising investment from them, it is going transparent. It must show its activity from very minute one to major ones. That’s the rule. Going public also determines the reputation. A retail investor could only buy at this stage.

Observation is the key

Too much focused on work or anything is not good at all. Not for both personal and professional. Yet we repeat the same pattern. Insanely focused in a work could bring better results. But these might lead to filter out the things we think is not at all important. But it turns out that is wrong. Often the things we wish could have were the things we merely ignored. Relationship is an example. Relationship with children and spouse often get cold when obsessed with way too much work. It is very much easy to eliminate the non essential and focus on what's important. But as the life progresses, most people realise that is not true. Giving time to nurture the relations are important as much as finishing the task. In the end all that matters is how well the life gets better. Just merely by observing the things that we thought as irrelevant may seems like a great choice to have. You might rethink and crafts the better one.

Ideas surpassing the pull

 When we see people taking about the things that is not yet discovered or existing, we often refer them as nuts. Some of the things they were referring makes least sense. And the probability of making it to the real world is almost null. These crazy ideas never made the mediocre to astonish. Instead it induced them to criticize and drag it to the ground over time. Yet some ideas turned real and surpassed the resistance . This is not uncommon.   Most of the ideas still gets reverted by mediocre pull. This world would have been a different one if there is no pull. But these pulls are, like some other barriers, meant to cross. Almost everything new has to surpass this resistance. Of it is strong enough, it will break the barrier. The strength of idea is a by product of the source where it born. A rigid determined source can often disrupt the pessimistic ambient field. Many ideas backed by less driven person dies with fear. And couple of years later, someone with powerful mindset...

Surroundings and influence

  Most people who are brilliant enough let themselves to suffer only because oh their lack of courage. They were well equipped and learned, yet they find themselves stumbling upon when faced with an adversity. They weren’t really shy, they are afraid of embarrassment. What would happen if something happens always make them uncomfortable. It is not only the failure that makes them sweat, success too. They don’t know what to do when confronted with their peers, these people sweats a lot. The reason these people fell into these category isn’t their fault. Not technically, but yes they chose it. But by doing a simple analysis we can conclude that the environment that they were in contributed a better part. But these environment doesn’t create itself. Keeping in mind it could be again concluded as ancestral influence . That is much powerful. Even people with talent feels the resistance. What about this resistance is it keeps the action at bay and paves a great way to live the unlived li...

Decluttering is self care

Removing the things that is of no use is equally important as taking care of the things that are important. Decluttering was a popular phenomenon that is observed among highly successful people. It doesn’t involve making each and every things as simple. It is to make the place that we require to spend most of the time less cluttered. For a thinker it is to master his area of expertise instead of wandering deeply in everything. Narrowing focus has  enormous benefits associated. Once the place, if it’s tangible or digital becomes decluttered, the possibility of spending time results in quality output. The input-output ratio or gap turns out to be inconceivable when the barrier shows its way up. Barriers certainly need not to be of tangible, it might be something invisible that could only be perceived. By eliminating the subtle (or quite big) things that appears to be the barrier impacts equal to adding an assistant equipment.This is making it easy to execute.   We can call it si...

Lesson from experience

Most of the learnings come from experience and one should focus on gaining experience than pleasuring ourselves in the unrealistic world of social media and pornography. Reflecting upon the experience is the greatest lesson we can ever learn from life. Missing this opportunity is a blunder.

Price manipulation

 Manipulation in crypto is a common thing. Whoever with a big follower base can alter the value. It is not that great. There are some problems related to it. When we see someone with tones of crypto investment, we could observe the variation in the asset value when he withdraws. This is the case with every asset which is open to investment. And by pouring his money into the asset makes its price surge. When he couples with some other investor, the power becomes stronger and it is hence easy to manipulate. This is actually the migration of power to those who have more. But Bitcoin came into existence to cease this same thing, a central authority being the decider of price movement. It takes a good diversification to adjust the growth rate of cryptos. An asset being easily subjective to manipulation is not a healthy investment to think about. Because the person who holds more possess more power and manipulation is easy to practice. He can make a small retail investor poor or rich wi...

Price movement and news

 Demand can be very well related to the need in the market. When something of nominal value gets high in demand, it usually gets attention. So, when the attention rises it draws masses towards. This time we can observe a price surge. This happens often in tradable assets. Let’s take an example of a particular stock. Usually, the price of the stock rises whenever good news is associated. This good news makes traders bring attention. Risk-takers invest based on this soothing news, which raises the price further. And soon it breaks the resistance and all retail investors start investing making the price move even higher. Even after days of news, it keeps the pace. Here people slowly start to form a consensus within themselves that the price won’t go much higher when reaches this or that point. Which makes people like him exit from there. When masses do this, it slowly reflects in the price movements. This leaves a panic among the general investors and they will start withdrawing mon...
