What Drives Your Investments – Memory / Dream or Reality?

What Drives Your Investments – Memory / Dream or Reality?


Greetings from Hitesh! I am happy with your responses on my last two articles - It’s Official now – Mr.Modi is FEKU as far as Swiss Money Is Concerned and 100% Correct Market Call to Our Subscribers – Time and Again. Thanks for being my regular reader. In the weekend I came across - The Decision Book - 50 Models for Strategic Thinking by Mikael Krogerus, Roman schäppeler, Jenny Piening .

As the name suggest the book deals with the Decision Making in complex scenario and complex situations of the life/ business and investments. I am going to share one decision making model from the same which I have observed all people applies in the field of investments.

The Model Name is Energy Model:-
Where do you spend Your Energy / Your Time / Your Resources and Your Money in particular?

It has given three classifications in the same.

Memory Driven:- When you spend your time / resources in following proportions – 30% for Future / 30% for Present and 40% for Past.

Dream Driven:- When you spend your time/ resources in the following proportions – 5% in Past / 30% in Present and 65% in Future.

Reality Driven:- When you spend your  time / resources in the following proportions – 10% in Past / 20% in Future and 70% in Present.

Now, let us see how does this impact your investment decision?

Memory Driven Investor:-

He relies on old charms and past success. He is not ready to look at the current position of the company. Eg. In 2007 or 2008 – Mukesh Ambani sold his holding in reliance ind at Rs.2500 (after it made a high of 3000 something / he had bought the same at Rs.1400 in 2006). At that time we had given a bold call not to hold this stock. At Rs.1500 also we gave a sell call / at Rs.1100 also we gave a sell call and Reliance came down to Rs.650 something. (All our articles are there with me for a proof)

Most normal investors were under the old charm of late Dhirubhai and they refused to follow our calls. In fact, they were questioning our judgments!!  The reality proved us the correct!!

When market was in the grip of MANDI in Dec., 2008, we gave a bold call of 14000 Sensex by June 2009 on 5th Dec.,2008!! They were so much under the spell of MANDI – they refused to see the Reality of the market and you know what had happened?

There are some blind followers of Mr.Modi – they do not want to accept anything negative about him!! We believe - he was a good leader as a CM and he is the best leader as a PM under the current situations – but does it give him a right to fool you? Just see recent SIT findings on Swiss Money!!

All Memory Driven People would stick to the PAST achievement and past losses……they do not want to see the reality!! Do you think – if you do this – you can be a successful investor?

Dreamers:-

These are the 100% reverse guys of the above type. For them only future exist. During K-10 scam- most investor did not sell IT and Media stocks because they were multiplying the P/E with the future EPS and being Happy that Infosys will be Rs.1 lakh and HFCL will be Rs.5000 / Satyam will be Rs.3000 and so on.

Same thing is happening today when P/E investors are financing – Flipkart and Snapedeal kind of companies.

Just see what has happened to Subhiksha / Big Bazaar / Pentalloon / Mall Culture and India’s Retail story?

Where is the footfall? If there is footfall – where is the business? Normal Indian goes to MALL for Free AC cooling during Summer and to pass times on Sundays and Holidays!

I have seen other class of dreamers also – assuming their job will remain intact and salary will grow in 2 digits year after year – they made some purchases like FLAT + CAR + Honeymoon in Switzerland + Electronic items etc on Loan. They all were crying during 2009 to 2013!!

Most Dreamers – do not understand the difference between a Dream and a Vision! They stick to the Future achievement and profits……they do not want to see the reality!! Do you think – if you do this – you can be a successful investor?

Reality Driven:-

As the name suggest – they focus on the Reality. In a recent interview Mr.Rakesh was asked to recommend some investment ideas – his classic reply was – “I do not know – what I will buy tomorrow?” We have covered this interview in our blog – RAKESH call for market – just go through the same.

He makes a very good point – he asks you to be present to the opportunities market gives you at any given point of time. Because he focuses on the PRESENT – if he goes wrong, he can correct the mistake immediately by STOP LOSS!!

If you are attached to PAST or FUTURE – you will never follow STOP LOSSES – that’s our reading with working with so many investors over a period of last 25 years.

Working in Present makes you HUMBLE to accept that you can also go wrong – in the Memory and Dreams state – you consider everybody else are wrong – accept yourself!!
