Posted By: Admin

Zen is the ancient Buddhist philosophy of Mindfulness. It encourages one observe without acting.At the heart of this Buddhist philosophy is the teaching to observe and let actions follow, without interfering therein. Let’s say we were to observe a caterpillar struggle within its cocoon still we know to leave it as it is the struggle that is essential in it becoming the beautiful butterfly. The Art of Investing is very similar to the ZEN philosophy. After deep due diligence once you have committed your investment for the long term, you are to stay committed to it without giving in to the urge to tamper with it. If one reacts to short term events and interferes with their investments, the result will be sub optimal and sometimes unpleasant. We can take all the time to commit, but once committed, one must stay committed to see the journey through.

Believe me TIME is the best balancer of markets and with TIME your investments will blossom.
