Ideas

Three ideas for thinking about wealth

Notes on risk, operations and decisions that retain their value when the cycle changes.

Diversification is not buying more of the same.

A portfolio can hold many companies and remain concentrated in one asset class, one currency and one form of liquidity.

Deep risk rarely fits in a cell.

Debt that forces a sale, construction without margin and costs without an owner matter more than a decimal in a projected return.

The capacity to suffer protects value.

Accepting discomfort today, whether liquidity, margin or an unpopular decision, can prevent value destruction tomorrow.
