Short & Sweet
‘Advice doesn’t have to be complicated to be good.’
“The world is complex,” writes analyst Safal Nivetchak. “Consider the various reasons floating around explaining the market’s fall in the last two months – war, inflation, interest rates, FII selling, China, supply chain disruptions, weak GDP, and over valuations. This is not a complete list, but enough to suggest that the world is complex. And so are financial markets. How do you deal with such complexity in your wealth creation journey without losing your sanity? Have an investment process that is elegant in its simplicity.” We found the down-to-earth practicality contained in Nivetchak’s advisory of enormous value, particularly for young investors searching for guidance on the road to building wealth – something appealingly analog in an increasingly complex digital age.
Though he never mentions gold, many successful investors see it as part and parcel of the keep it simple portfolio approach. He offers a memorable quote from Dutch computer science pioneer Edsger Dijkstra: “Simplicity requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it.” Nivetchak ends by quoting Steve Jobs on keeping it simple: “… It’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” Says Nivetchak, “That’s also true for investing for wealth creation. In practicing simplicity, and staying the course, over time you can also move mountains.”
