“Don’t ever aim to find the multi-baggers. Just keep it really simple. “
“The hand of god will be on you if you try to earn 15% per year return. You’d be surprised how many stocks compound 35% then.”
“Only common sense makes money in the markets, not maths.”

"Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget Rule No. 1."
— Warren Buffett
This quote is often taken literally, which misses the point entirely.
Buffett did not mean you will never have a position go down or that losses are somehow avoidable. He has had plenty of investments that declined. What he meant is psychological and structural: never let a loss become catastrophic, and never let ego or emotion turn a manageable mistake into a permanent destruction of capital.
The real lesson has two layers:
Avoid permanent loss of capital. A stock dropping 30% is recoverable. Betting everything on a bad idea, using leverage recklessly, or holding a collapsing position out of pride can wipe out capital you can never get back. That kind of loss breaks the compounding engine entirely.
Protect your ability to stay in the game. If you lose 50% of your capital, you need a 100% gain just to break even. Buffett understood that avoiding large drawdowns matters more than chasing large gains. Compounding only works if the base is protected.
The second rule drives the point home with irony. Rule No. 2 is just Rule No. 1 repeated, which signals that most people hear the advice, nod, and promptly forget it the moment greed or panic takes over. The repetition is the lesson.
In short, Buffett was really saying: capital preservation is not just a defensive strategy, it is the foundation of every great offensive investment strategy.
Price tells you what happened.
Volume tells you who made it happen.
A simple way to read supply and demand:
• Above-average volume = Strong participation (buyers or sellers are active)
• Below-average volume = Weak participation
One high-volume day means little.
A series of high-volume days tells a story.
If price rises on repeated heavy volume, institutions are likely accumulating.
If price falls on repeated heavy volume, institutions are likely distributing.
Learn to read volume.
The footprints of smart money are often hidden in plain sight.
People talk about missing the bull market.
Nobody talks about missing the bear market.
But that's where the real positions are built.
Bull markets are where you celebrate. Bear markets are where you earn it.
