Margin of safety for investment

Margin of safety should be considered as a form of safeness factor. The amount of risk it will helps us to minimize while making an investment is highly useful. Buying stocks rather at the fair value than market value makes sense.

Matrix prison

Getting out of the matrix is an easy part. All you have to do is analyse the person who has opposite views than yours and try to learn from them as much as you can. What is the hardest part is to realise that you are in a matrix. This matrix is a lot more similar to a prison. The difference is that you know you are in a prison when you are in a prison, but you don't even know there exist a matrix when you are in a matrix. One is visible and the other is not. The only way to realise your position is to ask questions about everything everytime and never stop the process until you get the answer that satisfies you.

Being an early investor

Investing in some companies or technologies at its early stage is beneficial. We often see people or even ourselves regret being non-investor in those world-changing companies. One of the reasons that people find a reason for not investing is not having enough. These people always complain about being financially poor and point that as a reason for not investing. But later when those invested became multi-billionaires, these poor people starts to complain about not knowing the opportunity. In fact, they knew what is happening around, but chose not to invest. Instead of changing, they complain every time. Even at the present moment, they say they don’t have time or money to invest paving a way for days full of regret. What is important here is not having enough money to make a good investment, but the mentality of an investor. Investors back the technology that changes the world. Most people don’t want to change the world, neither they invest nor build a startup. But they are expe...

Concentration is important

I heard a lot of times about the importance of concentration. Once we know what it really is and how it is gonna change our life we realize that we wasted a lot of time. Growing up we were taught to do many things. We were forced to study the unimportant things which add no value to our life. But important things such as finance and mind, which everyone needs were never even addressed. We might end up in disaster if our mind is in turmoil. This is observable in everyday life. We always fall into the trap of wandering thinking and practicing the mind to even wander more. In the end, we feel stupid and wasteful thinking about all the negative things. It is essential to understand the mind and how it works. Because we can program it once we understand it. This is important as every other important thing, or even more. To understand our mind we need to first observe our mind. How is it behaving and what are the thoughts popping up. If the output thinking is good, then good for us too...

problem solving

How to prepare for a good test. Preparing for any problem infront requires an in-depth analysis of the problem itself. When we go through the problem we will get to know where we should make the improvement and where to leave it as free. But only in few occasions people give that much of analysis review before entering into a problem solving method. When we look at the largest problems that had been solved, we could see how that problem got studied before. Because without understanding what the real heck problem is, we cannot find a solution. If we try to find a solution to the problem that we drawn out by our fragile analysis, we will get the solution for the things we discovered, not the actual problem. So while before solving every problem we should learn about the problem before getting into work. Once we enter the working world, we probably won’t care about the study. That is why it is important to have a habit of in-depth analysis before confronting with the solution. Solution r...

Technology and crisis

Now the world is dependent on every single occurrence from any part of the world. An attack in the extreme west affects the employment status in the east. The reason is the interdependency that is getting forged strongly every moment. One of the prime examples was that the market crash that occurred in the US in 2008 left people in the east jobless. We could say that the US was the global power and any minor sentiments might make the rest of the world a crisis. It is true, but the kingdom is slowly shifting, not to a single entity, but to series of economic powers. This keeps expanding and every country will be able to create a global catastrophe by the civil turmoil. We should look at the involvement of technology here. It enabled the news to spread within seconds all over the world. It actually accelerated every process. The good things get even better and bad to worse. So in this arena, it is mandatory that technology should not use its manipulative power to make the world...

Testing the strategy

When it came comes to trading we see people using different strategies. There is no fixed strategy for success. People find their agreed will at one thing which may or may not suit us. So the real challenge is not to master the strategy but to find it. We may even tried multiple strategies multiple times. Even now that confusion pops. People choose strategy not based on how much winning percentage it has, but does it resonate with their style. Even people trading just based on their will can make more money and can have a great winning percentage than who tried thousands of them. Even after choosing a strategy, people find it difficult to take trades based. Because they are not sure about whether it is what they actually need. If we have a strategy which we think might suits us, we have to test it and back test it. People jumping from one to another never have traded multiple timed based on that. Not a single strategy could be understood within days or weeks, it takes months like the ...

When things slips today

Weeks before the actual commencement feels like a heavy load. The reason is the amount of stuff that is to be completed. It takes a lot of energy and time. Whenever we confront such a situation, we tend to do two things, either make a plan or leave the plan. The former is a lot better. Because with the least amount of time and inaccurate decisive situation, we might have come to the conclusion which is more precise than the latter. Speaking of it making a plan is really daunting. Here the plan itself reveals the work and effort that need to be put in. So some people finish as per their will finishing the desired portions within time. But the others keep it on procrastination. They are resting because they have done a mountain task of structuring and planning. The rest of the day goes for entertainment. As soon as they find their former plan is no longer valid, they make another with the same willpower and attitude. This happens multiple times finally reaching the exact date of com...
