Love and Investments?
Last Friday, 14th of
the February to be exact, a lot of people celebrated the so called “Hearts Day!” People, whether single or currently in a
relationship, enjoyed the lovely and once a year scene in the country. Having in struck in the city’s traffic and
not having an evening date, haha! This topci just suddenly pop-out and came out.
Is love and investments the
same? Do time play a big role? Are the feelings involved mutual?
Let me share my thoughts.
What it is?
Love means different from different persons. Some say that love is a very difficult subject and a complicated thing. The same with investments! People have
different views and understanding about it, depending on their experiences and
background about it.
Essence of Time
For love, time is always is of
the essence. You need time for love to
come and grow. Same with investments, as time
is your precious asset.
Different asset classes (i.e bonds, stocks, etc.) need different time to
grow and appreciate. In addition, time also gives the
opportunity for us to learn and know the person or the investment that we fell
in love with.
Emotions are Mutual
For love and investments, the
feeling is mutual! Both need courage and
patience. Both have risk and return!
For love, for you to express it,
you must have the courage to tell the person of your real intentions and
emotions. Same in going to investments,
you must have the courage to try it for you to know of what will be the
benefits of it in the future!
For love and investments, risk
and return play an important role. If
you cannot accept the risk of being rejected or losing money, you do not
deserve the returns you are expecting then.
Experience will be your Guide
All of us experience the ups and
downs in terms of love of investments.
Heartbreaks, emotional breakdowns or sudden down turn of market events
to name a few. All of these mistakes
will help us to be a better person and investor. It teaches us that life is really fair, as
the choices we make always define the life we want to have.
We are the driver of our lives! We decide, we succeed, we fail. But at
the end of the day, the things we learn and how we appreciate life will define
what the is the real meaning of a successful love and investment life we have.
