Value

Adding value…

…can boil down to…

…taking time…

…to do so.

So we’re cruising along some process, and we recognize value, elsewhere.

This is the moment.

Do we interrupt our process to take the time?

It’s an extra effort.

Interruptions are annoying.

Going the extra mile will lead to a fuller life-experience from the near future onwards.

That’s what extra added value does.

The most difficult part is to slow down, and smell the roses on the way.

We’re always caught up in trajectories.

Small deviations cause us discomfort.

Why have we forgotten (?) that more than being a collection of results,…

…life is better remembered for its journeys and how each path unfolded.

The fun we had on the way.

Or did we forget to have fun on the way?

Let’s not let it come to that.

Here’s to enjoying each journey, taking in the view on the way, adding offered value, and only then looking towards reporting the home-runs scored.

Action?

All the time?

Do you crave it?

And, are you in the markets?

Boy, do you have your work cut out for you, or do you have your work cut out for you?

Ideally, your long-term investment should not give you action.

When it does, it should push you to act.

What backfires is when you act to push it.

Unless you’re convinced by a stock, you don’t buy it.

Unless there’s margin of safety, you don’t buy it.

Unless there’s more margin of safety, you don’t re-buy it.

Unless you’re fed up with the stock or the antics of its management, you don’t sell it.

The whole long-term game is biased towards inaction.

Those who master the art of inaction are good long-term investors.

Bridging gaps is paramount.

What do you do with the vast amounts of time at your disposal?

Do twenty other things.

Create value in many walks of life.

Let the areas not overlap with any of the markets you are tapping.

Capture the attention of your mind.

What happens if you don’t?

Boredom, inaction or the need for action will propel you towards making a mistake.

Mistakes in the market cost money.

That’s how they’re defined.

Do yourself a huge favour.

Approach the markets after having embraced inaction.

I Got the Feeling

What feeling?

The feeling of value-creation – that’s the feeling we’re talking about. 

When can one create value?

When there is value…

… and one sees it,…

…upon which one has the courage to act…

…and make that value one’s own.

This normally happens during and after a correction. 

Therefore…

…a correction is not a cause for depression.

Please understand that and please incorporate that into your DNA.

A correction is a time for action.

You go about adding value to your portfolio, again, and again, and again, as long as the correction lasts, and after, till bullishness sets in beyond your comfort level.

How can you keep on doing this?

This can be achieved by keeping your entry quantum small enough each time. We’ve been over that many times, and only recently, we went over it very thoroughly. 

So, the markets are falling, and you are going on and on, adding value. To be able to follow through properly, your system needs to be fully convinced about what you’re doing, and that’s why, I ask you again. 

Do you have the feeling?

Do you have the feeling that you’re creating value and adding it onto your holding?

Keep doing so, till the feeling persists. 

Stop, when the feeling is gone. 

Save, so that you have the resources to go on and on adding value. 

Enter small, so that you can enter many, many more times, perhaps adding even more value the next time. 

Be sensitive towards when the feeling comes and goes. 

Soon enough, during a burst of bullishness, you’ll see how this knowledge translates into a burgeoning portfolio.Â
