MarketAble

What makes us…

…marketAble?

What’s it boiling down to?

The essence…

…or, if we will, the sediment…

…is…

…what…

…exactly?

It all starts off with savings.

Save, save, save.

Now, there’s a moat.

Let’s call it emergency fund, first.

Moat grows.

Comes a time, where we say… … enough.

That’s enough moat.

From that point onwards, we are able…

…to enter the market without the tensions of not having something to fall back on.

Within this time-frame of putting together an emergency fund and making it grow beyond critical mass, we haven’t been sitting idle.

Busy, baby.

Putting together a…

…system.

Rough stage.

Deployment stage, perhaps on paper.

Moat gone beyond expectations?

Right, system needs to be ready by now, to be deployed, live.

System goes live.

Refine.

Fine-tune.

Adjust.

Fiddle.

Attenuate.

Nail.

Will take some years.

In those years, we play it small.

Right.

Comes the sweet-spot.

You feel it.

System feels just…

…perfect…

…to us.

That’s the moment.

Now we can scale up.

We are continuing to, though, as per market situations — refine, fine-tune, adjust and attenuate.

Idea is to maintain the sweet-spot.

Goes away?

Bring it back.

Keep bringing it back.

Once we’ve learnt to keep bringing the sweet-spot back…

…we are then, from that point onwards…

…marketAble.

News from the One-Off Corner

One-off runners emit a lure.

One don’t follow them.

However, one is dazzled by their move, and gets roped in.

What’s the out?

1). Emo-check.

2). Fundamental scrutiny.

Pass or fail.

If pass, go to 3). (if fail, move on in life).

3). Add to watch-list.

4). Watch.

Keep watching…

..till you can take a decision to make the one-off a static, or you just junk the idea of engaging with the one-off.

There’s that word again – static.

It’s possible that I’ll be laughed at for using this word in a market context.

I don’t mind being laughed at.

Others have been laughed at too.

Some of these are called pioneers today.

I’m not saying that I’m one.

However, I like to do things differently, exploring new avenues. It just sheer gives me a kick.

News from the one-off corner is their ability to showcase capability of movement.

You see, we’d like our statics to be able to move freely when the time comes.

When we see a one-off exhibiting free movement readily, we can explore whether this one can one day become part of our statics.

To build a house, one needs bricks.

As long as we desist from trading one-offs upon first movement and without proper fundamental and watch-list scrutiny, we should be safe.

When we convert the one-off into a static, news from the one-off corner translates for us into multiple wins over time.

Wishing you lucrative times in the markets!

Statics

What are your statics?

What do you follow …

… all the time?

More importantly,…

…why follow something…

…all the time?

There are always new runners on the block.

Changing pursuits regularly should keep one busy, right?

Right.

Busy.

Busy winning?

Not so sure on that one.

Statics allow you to win through them…

…again and again.

Why?

Because you have felt their pulse.

Your fluidity has blended into their being, and you are one with the underlying.

You flow with them.

That’s when you win with them.

Ya…

…that’s when you keep winning with them.

How did you choose your statics?

Choice needs to be fool-proof for you.

Why?

If not, doubt will creep in.

That’s a poisonous crack.

It doesn’t allow you to win with your static.

Replace the static in question, this time without a doubt clouding your mind.

Or, bury your doubt.

Then, go and win.

Statics, is that even a word?

No idea.

It feels right, and I’m using it to channel across a pivotal concept.

That’s all that counts.
