When you hit 'Rock Bottom', don't panic: A not so bright guide to investing?

avatar

The whole idea of investing is to make profit and if anyone tells you they are investing for the 'purposes of the tech', then you just discovered a very terrible liar.
No one invests because they love the platform and will do it just for the joy of knowing they invested on the platform.

Profitability is what drives investments and investors will swarm around you when you have something profitable to offer.

No one invests for the purposes of the tech or anything else. Investing is aimed at making a significant amount of profits and like farming, you put in and wait for it to die and then with some very delusional hope, hope to see it return in 10x fold.

I have been around the investment circle for as long as I can remember and the process was never with a computer but with tubers of yam, cocoa yam, cocoa, maize etc and I learnt form the best investment platform in the world, "the Farmland." Yes, the farmland.
You can disagree and it's fine, but I learnt from that platform and everything I know about investment before the era of the computers, were from the school of hard-knocks where sweat was and still is a pride.

What is Rock Bottom?

Like I said, 'a not so bright guide to investing?' so do not take it all hook line and sinker, do your research and make the right decisions whenever you make a move to invest.

Rock Bottom is that time where you have nowhere else to go but up and that is only possible when you, set your mind at taking a spin in that low state to discover what can propel you.
Rock bottom happens when you leave the top, voluntarily or not and hit the bottom so abruptly that you just know you are down. Nothing else seems worse or can possibly be worse when rock bottom is the new address.

In investments, Rock Bottom is not a good sign as it signals the results of a bad investment call and for many, they never leave long after that in the world of business to go back up.
One thing I learnt my grandparents while growing up in a farmhouse if that, "nothing is given and a bad day can ruin a years harvest, so make good use of the times as they are presented you."

In investment, you should first pick your sides and learn when you have to make that all important call to move away from counting a bigger profit when the loss just starts to stare you in the face. You can count your chickens because the eggs are in the basket.


What do you do about rock bottoms?

Don't hit rock bottom voluntarily, and don't wait to see how it feels like when you hit it.
Do whatever you can from the very first moment you set out to take out an investment in something.
Always respect the red signals because, it respected you long enough to allow you catch a glimpse of it.
See the red signals, accept it as the red signals and don't bother making some mumbles, just go on and make wise decisions.


Investing for profitability is what everyone wants but it is really hard to have it come the way you want because, like you betting on the Buy position, someone else is betting on the Sell position and and someone is also looking to Dump and one of these must give.


Did you get the message of this article? Really you didn't?

Oh gosh, I wish there is a really a good book that can make investment really easy and one where you are directed in the real sense of the word of what to do and where to do what you need to do.

Everyone fails in business and a successful businessman and or investor without a rock bottom story is one waiting to happen and if he is with so much success before the fall, the thud will be so loud.
Whenever you fail, don't go killing yourself asking "why", look at the areas that may have been your mistakes and learn from it.

Rock Bottom may just be your first lesson in the investment world. If you don't feel the pain, there definitely will be no gratification that will allow you appreciate the gain when it comes calling.


Make the world a better place for someone today!
