accept facts to win

How can you deny what has happened? What is the point in wishing that it should have not happened? Once something has happened, it has happened. What happens is not random, it is a function of everything else that happens. Unless you believe in parallel universes, this is what it is. Off-course in future you can try to change things but first you need to accept what has happened. Denial of facts is for losers.


The world is constantly moving in a direction. Your best chances of winning lies in aligning yourself to this direction. On the opposite side lies nothing. Note I am not saying that you cannot change things, but even to change things you still have to align yourself to this larger direction. If you try to change things by going in the opposite direction, you will be left behind and forgotten.

The winning formula
Keep an open mind. Accept. Move forward. Move in the strongest direction. If you want change, lead the change from the strongest direction. Over time movement in all other directions will perish, only the one's in the strongest direction will persist.

Trust me, you will need it this year
In stock markets, I believe being able to align yourself to the strongest direction will be the winning attribute that will get you through this year.  2017 is going to be a tough year. Trump policies, aggressive rate hikes by US Fed, instability in EU, volatility in currency, commodity, bond markets. These things will happen. You have to accept it, find the strongest direction and move in that direction. If you try to go in the denial mode, run away from these events, you will perish in any other direction.

For me a lot is at stake always in the stock markets at any time. After 2016, it is painful to think that we have another year ahead of us full of uncertainties and volatility, but it is what it is. Will not try to run or hide from it. 2017 will be the year I will bet on the market most aggressively and will wait for the strongest direction to emerge and when it happens, hopefully will be among the front runners in that direction. And that's the way to go for me !
