‘If you want to lose something, keep it in front of your eyes’ – Smart investors know this fact.

Dear Fellow Travellers,

Namaste! Our last post on China fall - part 2 and Buffett company buying gold mine company shares had been super hit with readers. Many Readers praised us for our foresight and timely inputs. Today we are sharing the NATURAL LAW of making big money. Unfortunately, most of our Social Laws are not aligned with Natural Laws and normal people get confused with them at the time of taking major decisions.  

Can you lose something when it is in front of your eyes?

You may say I am talking nonsense. Apparently, what I am saying may look contradictory to most readers but I am sharing the facts. If you don’t believe me let us take a test.

1.   Just close the eyes and try to remember the PRESENT face of your wife/husband/parents or kids? Most will fail.

2.   Suppose you have to guide a painter to draw a picture of your near and dear – can you do it without looking at their photo? Most will fail here also.

3.   Say you had a dream of buying some luxury items – say a high-end Car / Watch / Mobile or Diamond Jewellery – how many times you remember them or see them in the day once you purchased them? Most of the time – people start looking for the latest model or new design in those product lines as soon as they buy the current product rather than enjoying the same. Most are experiencing this behaviour or thought process.

It is natural to lose interest in-person/things once you get them.

In the olden days – married women were forced to cover their faces while going in front of elders and husband. The husband always felt something new in his wife as she was always seen covered from top to bottom. The only time they used to meet was at night and there was no power in most of the area in India at that time. The husband would always remember the smallest details of his wife in those days. If you have somebody older than 80 in your home and in good health talk to them and you will agree with me.

How does this affect your Investment Performance?

Thanks to technology – everything is available or tracked on a real-time basis. This has made the people – impatient. There are products like Maggie or Instant Coffee and many more to meet their impatience. They have developed a belief that if something is not happening FAST – it means it is BAD or not Worth Doing.

So, when they come to the stock market – they want instant PROFIT. They buy stock and keep on watching the prices. Now, they end up increasing the blood pressure while booking a small profit or loss on a daily basis or hourly basis. They will do 5 transactions of profit and one transaction of loss will wipe out their total profit and add to their loss.

So, by constantly watching their stocks – they lost their money. This is normal for most normal investors. So, my title is correct and natural law is also correct.

What is the Solution?

If you are assuming that I am asking you – not to watch your stocks / not to trade or invest for only long term than you are 100% going in wrong direction. These will not solve your problems. They will increase the same.

The simplest solution is to watch your thoughts. Most investors are mechanically acting while they are investing. They lack awareness while investing. You may ask - What is awareness? The first time you met your would-be wife or husband, I bet you still remember his or her face, the colour of his clothes, snacks offered in the meeting, taste of tea of coffee. You still remember those small details, because you were 100% aware at that time. But if I ask you what did you eat last night, most will have to remember, because eating was done mechanically.

If you bring that awareness while investing – you can do anything with your money and I assure, you will not have losses but only profits.

If you want to invest your hard-earned money with AWARENESS – please approach us.

Wish you all a Very Happy Investing.
