10 Key Takeaways from the book: The Emotionally Intelligent Investor

1. Investing success does NOT come from ignoring or suppressing emotion. Assuming that you have relevant expertise, disregarding intuition and empathetic feelings because they cannot be explained, is a mistake!
2. Self-awareness is the first and most important step in improving as an investor. An investment approach needs to fit with your unique set of motivations, personality traits, weaknesses, and strengths. Don’t try to be exactly like Warren Buffett if you are not like him!
3. Humans have certain common investing vulnerabilities, but everybody is unique in their susceptibility to them. Consider your weaknesses to be the investing biases and traps to which you are most prone.
4. Because we are constantly changing, introspection should be incorporated into the daily and weekly routines of any investor. Try writing in a trading/Investing journal.
5. An investing style that involves riding trends can require very different personality traits and competencies than a more contrarian investment strategy. It is important to make sure an investment’s thesis matches the approach.
For example, don’t get shaken out of a highly contrarian bet just because short-term business conditions are slightly worse than expected.
6. Trading success involves recognizing and taking advantage of the mistakes of others. This requires empathy.
7. Technical analysis is a tool for empathizing with the current shareholders of an investment. Investors that completely ignore stock charts are potentially missing out.
However, avoid getting caught in the weeds of chart reading without thinking about what the chart is telling you regarding how other shareholders may be feeling.
8. Management teams of the companies we invest in should be self-aware and trustworthy. They are making investments every day with our money.
9. Intuition is not a magical sixth sense. It is based on pattern recognition. Within an overall market that can seem quite random, there are many patterns that repeat over and over again.
The expert investor is good at quickly spotting these patterns developing. Fundamental analysis is very important, but good decision-making should start with intuition and should then be safeguarded with logic.
Every potential investment should remind you of something that was successful where luck was not a major factor.
10. Intuition is best built through objectively reviewing prior decisions. It is important to make this a continuous process, since investing intuitions can become obsolete. Gut instincts can also be developed through mental simulation exercises.
Instead of simply listing risk factors, try to visualize failure and then work backward to understand patterns that help with sensing danger. Mental simulations can also help with portfolio construction and are a useful way to leverage the intuitions of others.

The Dutch regulator and DNB as financial supervisor are a tough cookie to deal with. In essence they hyperregulate EU-rules into goldplated Dutch rules which go beyond what is prescribed in Europe.

All NL-customers at British banks may thus be kicked out on brexit.

If we start with the capital requirements directive, it says attracting deposits is forbidden. In article 9.

https://t.co/RYl7SXligC


Now the translation of that rule into Dutch law is slightly expanded to not only prohibit attracting deposits, but to also prohibit, having those deposits under custody ('ter beschikking hebben').

That's not in EU law, but it is in our Dutch law.

So if you wonder how this would work out for UK banks and Payment institutions servicing Dutch customers. Have a read at the technical explanation of DNB, the financial supervisor and their summarising table.

Passive servicing of Dutch is not allowed!


Any bank or PSP in the UK that continues to serve Dutch customers (as in retail customers, professional players are excepted) can thus be subject to fines and policing under Dutch law.

Meaning we not only have Accidental American issues in payments, but also Accidental Dutchies

ज्योतिषाचार्य अक्सर ग्रहों के दुष्प्रभाव के समाधान के लिए मंत्र जप, अनुष्ठान इत्यादि बताते हैं।

व्यक्ति के जन्म के समय ग्रहों की स्थिति ही उसकी कुंडली बन जाती है जैसे कि फ़ोटो खींच लिया हो और एडिट करना सम्भव नही है। इसे ही "लग्न" कुंडली कहते हैं।


लग्न के समय ग्रहों की इस स्थिति से ही जीवन भर आपको किस ग्रह की ऊर्जा कैसे प्रभावित करेगी का निर्धारिण होता है। साथ साथ दशाएँ, गोचर इत्यादि चलते हैं पर लग्न कुंडली का रोल सबसे महत्वपूर्ण है।


पृथ्वी से अरबों खरबों दूर ये ग्रह अपनी ऊर्जा से पृथ्वी/व्यक्ति को प्रभावित करते हैं जैसे हमारे सबसे निकट ग्रह चंद्रमा जोकि जल का कारक है पृथ्वी और शरीर के जलतत्व पर पूर्ण प्रभाव रखता है।
पूर्णिमा में उछाल मारता समुद्र का जल इसकी ऊर्जा के प्रभाव को दिखाता है।


अमावस्या में ऊर्जा का स्तर कम होने पर वही समुद्र शांत होकर पीछे चला जाता है। जिसे ज्वार-भाटा कहते हैं। इसी तरह अन्य ग्रहों की ऊर्जा के प्रभाव होते हैं जिन्हें यहां समझाना संभव नहीं।
चंद्रमा की ये ऊर्जा शरीर को (अगर खराब है) water retention, बैचेनी, नींद न आना आदि लक्षण दिखाती है


मंत्र क्या हैं-
मंत्र इन ऊर्जाओं के सटीक प्रयोग करने के पासवर्ड हैं। जिनके जप से संबंधित ग्रह की ऊर्जा को जातक की ऊर्जा से कनेक्ट करके उन ग्रहों के दुष्प्रभाव को कम किया और शुभ प्रभाव को बढ़ाया जाता है।
