A Trader with an Investment Mindset

Invest in good stock...
Being a finance student, I have always been told that investors make much more profit compared to traders in the long run. 

In a sense, that statement is apparently true. If you take the historical gain reference of traders vs. investors, the latter will come triumphant without any confusion.

But remember, few traders make much more profit compared to investors. 

For the traders, the profit curve is seemingly positively skewed, only a few can truly make a profit, but most of them lose money and cancel out the average profit.

For the investors, the profit curve follows a normal distribution and returns an average profit to the clients in the long haul.

And most importantly, it is always the small ticket-sized shares that give you the best return.

For instance, a stock priced at BDT 10 has the potential to go up to 20 or 30 TK, giving you a return from 100% to 200%.

But imagine a good stock that is already priced at BDT 600, how much can it go up?

I always calculate the stock market from the perspective of percentage gain, and I like to call myself a Trader with an Investment Mindset.

I don't like to hold for the long term, neither do I want to get involved in regular trading. I buy small ticket-sized shares in the economic downturn and forget about those until the bullish period comes.

I want to buy small ticket-sized shares, wait patiently, and watch when the market goes bullish.

The stock market will definitely go bullish anyway, and if the small ticket-sized share is of a reasonably good company that will stay in the business for the next 5-10 years, you will not certainly lose money. But, you have to keep the patience of riding the wave of the stock market. When the index goes up, you can expect a return as well.

Disclaimer: this is my school of thought, I don't recommend anybody to follow me. Also, I haven't got the opportunity to invest in big numbers due to the lack of capuital. Hence, I don't know whether my assumption is true or not.

I Know How Fake Everything Is

We had an AC installation project today at Manikgonj. Our technician team went to the site, saw a 30'' thick wall that has to be pierced for copper piping. And they backed off. I was communicating over the phone with my PSL, with a heavy voice, pretending everything is under control.  Those are miniature life hick-ups that an entrepreneur has to face, regularly, and for me - intentionally. Only a few have the guts to continue after all these. I want to be one of them of course. January 2022 Update: Another year has gone by without any fruitful progress. Still, we don't see any tangible source of revenue. We are kinda parasite of Muspana. This burns me like hell, I wanted to live an independent life. That's why I chose to be an entrepreneur Now is the real challenge. What value am I providing to my users? What is the one big vision that can change the lives of billions? Can I acquire a big investment ever? Why am I so self-centered? Am I all after money? Today a kid 10 y...

Network = Net Worth

Need to boost up my networking skill So far I have been a socially awkward person. I don't like public gatherings, I avoid phone calls, even I don't have any active social media account. For me, deciding to do business was an internal soul call, which I hardly could relate to my shortcomings. Almost three years back when I was an employee of LankaBangla Finance, my SME head told me, ''Why don't you laugh man? There is a Chinese Proverb you know - if you can't laugh, don't open a shop.'' I thought a smiling face is a mere redundant verbal expression. Unnecessary, showy, sycophantic.  At this moment, after almost a year in the business world, I am to words changing my mind. In fact, a smiling face can win million hearts, and those million hearts are money in business. Am I sounding too commercial? Probably am, but smiling is also prophylactic. If you love yourself, you should smile. Another reason behind smiling is - human nature is precoded to accept ...
