Investment thinking for small or large investments

Although you can be a little bit invested you should not be casual about where or how you invest. Investment thinking means carefully considering even a small investment. Consider it as seriously as you would if buying the entire company. You don’t want even a small bit or single share unless it would be worth your while owning it all.

Warren Buffett teaches us, “Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1.”  That point of view starts you thinking like a capitalist. Your first obligation as a capitalist; always keep your money safe.

Don’t be afraid to invest; deploy capital when you find opportunity that favors you. Just don’t be in a hurry. Invest after you know the prospects are good. You need to see or change things so that risks align in your favor. As well, have both timing and returns in your favor.

Research to assess your prospective investment

Over time these White Top View conversations will cover specifics of the required homework. The good news it that you can comfortably do it where you are and on your own time.

You do have to make the effort. Becoming a knowledgeable investor is well worth your time; it can very significantly grow your wealth.

Shares and units of listed or so-called publicly traded companies and funds are called equities. Investing in equities provides an excellent way to build wealth. Doing so can significantly increase your financial security and open many options for your future.

When investing in equities we can limit our involvement or completely get out of a poorly performing or concerning investment. Selling equities is possible without much fuss or inconvenience.

That means you can invest knowing you have the ability to bail out and limit any downside risk. Selling is also important when it is time to reap the profitable results of your investment work.

There are risks

Investing is not without risk but risk can be mitigated. Do so by learning to understand the markets and how to think as an investor. Learn how to assess opportunities. Learn how to control costs. Then you can confidently take intelligent, calculated and limited risks.

Beyond equities there are limitless other investing opportunities. In the White Top View posts we will begin with and focus on equities. I suggest learning them first because they can so effectively and dependably deliver results. Most alternatives to equities require special situation knowledge or contacts which we can discuss in the future.

Over time we will cover many details of investment thinking and how to take the calculated limited risks to grow wealth.
