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.

Learning

Nothing is gonna get complete without learning. Even people at their expertise learns a lot.

Running out of time

Death is a constant reminder that we are running out of time. When we look at the world, we see people running behind fame, material possessions and money. But what they are missing is the fact that these are all external placebos for external world. But what matters the most is the inner world. Once we know how to satisfy the inner world, then we no longer be the prisoner of this external dilemma. We can sort out the things by making use of our time doing the things that makes us feel proud and satisfied. But this requires courage and persistence. Because here problems in the shape of emotions strikes is. We may get mocked. We might hear rude words. But it is okay as long as we are doing the right things. In order to do the right things we must be cautious about the time that is slipping by us.

Small change for good future

Small changes create big impact over time. Giving consistent effort in developing a good habit is like watering a seed. The benefits seems far away. But you never know how useful it will be. At least view it as a process of trial and error. In the end, we are the ones who gets the benefitted from. So keep doing the practise.

Time framing for success

The problem with people who were used with instant gratification is that they would often assign wrong time frame with result analyses. What gets them to get their feet off the pride work is correlated with the measurement. The first few time blocks are always found to go against expectations. Without having the right time frame to measure, they often fall into the trap. The initials days or months always are meat to experiment and learn. During this learning process, things won’t go as expected and mistakes are necessary. Because learning at the early stages makes the person or the organization strong and keeps huge losses away in the near future. This period is often misunderstood and depicted as a wrong scenario thereby instilling the wrong belief or notion of passion. This is imprudent in nature and could be fixed straight with understanding or guidance. The range of possible net outcome differs different purposes. On a personal level, it requires less time a...

Search

Searching for the things we think important often leads us to a prominent path. When we do such endeavours, we discover more things related to our fields.

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...

Focus on one thing

Concentrating on one field gives us a tremendous edge than giving a shallow focus on various different things. The difference here is that we get a lot of information from one sector which enables us to master the field.

Long term investment

Both long term and short term investment are hard. Both requires a specific set of skills. When it comes to long term investment, patience is must. Because the money when invested for a decade needs no withdrawal to see the real compounded growth. Everybody see this power of compounding and they land into investment as soon as they can. Those people with real poor mindset always rely on their emotions for placing further entries and exists. If we look at those who had succeeded and made a massive wealth, we could see that one of the most important thing that aided their process of wealth creation is holding. They have this ground level patience and they hold for decades. That is a skill. Waiting for the returns from an investment that was initiated decades before. It is very much easy to see investment as an option with less work and preperation. But it is not. It requires skills to analyse a company fundamentally. Among thousands of companies, the one with right set of values gets i...

Identifying noise

Discovering noise while investing is a very important step. Because we tend to make mistakes based on that. Even investing in a very promising company sometimes lead us to withdraw funds. This happens to all investments. How noises leads to bad decision could be narrated by everyday example. We must have seen that when the price of a certain assets go down, we have this urge to withdraw money. But what if it goes up ?. So we wait for couple of days further to see the assets going down. So we withdraw money instantly with half of our invested money in hand. But after the withdrawals we see the price going up and wait for few days for the confirmation. After confirming that it is in a bullish run, we invest. But after a few days of investment the prices shoots down again burning our capital. This happens every time and we react same each time. By reacting to the markets this ways opens a wonderful opportunity to burn or capital in no less time. But when we zoom out the graph and...
