Index pushes out bad stocks.

Do you do that for your portfolio?

Core investing principle 3: Anyone can invest with the right framework.

Investing industry wants you to believe that you can’t invest

So that they can make big bucks -% of your capital.

But I believe that anyone can invest.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

Concentration creates wealth.
Diversification protects wealth.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

When your brain stops you from taking a small loss, what happens is that small loss turns into a bigger loss.

This is because price momentum also works in the downward direction.

In tomo’s post, we will cover how to stop our brain from doing stupid things.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

Accuracy doesn’t matter in Investing

What truly matters is : how much you make on winners and how little you loose on losers.

where most people fail:

They sell winners too early - limiting profits
They hold on losers for long time - maximising loss

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

I can hear you ask - but why?

It’s because our brain is 100,000 years old.

Brain has a cognitive bias called loss aversion - pain of losing is far higher than the pleasure from gain.

Brain will do anything to prevent you from taking a loss.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

Time is the only true constraint in this world.

Don’t waste it

By constantly chasing
- researching stocks, ETFs
- watching finance videos on YT
- perfect indicators
- perfect timing

Build systems.
And play long term games.

Make markets work for you.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

How you think you should invest:
• Research stocks
• Watch finance videos
• Panic sell on red days
How you should actually invest:
• Clear rules
• One 30-minute weekend check
• A system that frees your time

Make your money work for you.
Don't make investing a second job.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

Most people don’t have an investing problem.

They have a decision-making problem.

Without rules, investing and managing your money might feel like a huge mountain to climb.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

Process over Profits
Process over Prophets

Profit is a byproduct of a Process.

This is one of my core investing principles.

When we focus too much on profits, bad behaviours like chasing accuracy creeps in.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

The finance industry thrives on FOG.

Complex terms.
Complex ratios.
Complex financial models.
Complex indicators.

It makes investing look like something only experts can do.

You need a simple system you can repeat every week.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

You’re not under-informed.
You’re over-informed and under-systemised.

That’s why people stay stuck even after consuming hundreds of hours of content.

More information without a decision framework just creates more fog.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

Day 2: The more investing content you watch, the harder it gets to decide.

Every new video adds another opinion. Another strategy.
Another “thing you should consider.”

So instead of getting clearer, you get more options… and more doubt.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

You watch videos. You feel productive for a bit.

Then the fog comes back.

Most smart people I talk to live here for years.
Not because they’re lazy.
Because they DONT HAVE A SYSTEM
Tomorrow I’ll show you why watching more content often makes this worse.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

Day 1: You’re not bad at investing.

You’re just stuck in what I call the Fog Zone.

That’s the place where you know you should be doing something with your money…

but you don’t really know what to buy, what to sell, or even where to start.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

That’s why I invest systematically.

I don’t want to spend hours studying balance sheets or making emotional decisions.

I want a repeatable system.

Rules create clarity.
Systems remove bias.
Consistency compounds wealth.

[Vinoth Devakumar @DevakumarVinoth]

What did the greatest investor of all time do? Jim Simons

He didn’t:

• draw endless charts
• read analyst reports
• chase “undervalued” stocks

He did:

• use math
• use data
• build systems

And compounded capital at a level almost nobody could match.
