Investment Lesson from Starbucks

An Advisor will never compromise on quality of advise for the client.

Trying out on own may lead to serious financial losses.

Same has been shown in the example.

Hire a good advisor.

Instant Gratification (तुरंत संतुष्टि)

Instant gratification is one of the most brutal enemy of an investor.

People always look for instant solutions to their problems. Everything cannot happen instantly like 2 minute Maggie Noodles.

Let’s take an example of Indian economy, the dynamics are entirely different. Imagine, a fully loaded 60 wagons goods train. Now to start and take this train to 50 kmph would take plenty of time. Similarly the case would be the same while stopping it.

Our economy is also like this locomotive. Any decision taken will take 2-8 quarters to play out. So one needs to wait patiently.

Too much of data, information these days is proving harmful to investor’s wealth and health.

Instead focus on what matters and have Faith and Patienceश्रद्धा एवं सबुरी.

Fixed Deposit = MASK

Friends

Last week i visited a prospective client through a reference. He shared his idea of saving & preserving money. He shared his details & my goodness; he is sitting on worth 30 lacs in Fixed Deposit!

The emotion of preserving money is great but the question is is it increasing as compared to inflation?

Obviously not.

People still think FD as a superior option to preserve money. I would rather say, the person who has invested in FD is an utter loser.

FD should ideally contain only the amount which can be used in emergency situation.

When you are Greedy!

When does a person feel greedy?This emotion can arise due to rising markets. Greed is the opposite emotion to fear. It is the emotion which wins over fear and promotes over-confidence. With the rising markets, investors become greedy and hold on for longer positions, or often make random trades, which they are not supposed to do in their investing system.

So, it is the emotional control that is the key component, an investor must exhibit while investing. True success depends on this psychological strength of the investor. Greed has to be dealt with to maintain your focus and not to get swept away by illusions.
