Zen of Investment

Categorías: Negocios — 11/29/06

Hey guys,

I recently discovered a very nice blog about Investment: The Zen of Investment. This blog is written by two bright guys, who complement each other to produce a unique and high-quality product in the blogosphere.

J.S. Kim, as he introduces himself, was formerly a Private Wealth Manager with a couple of the largest global investment firms. Kaeho is deeply into martial arts, and we can see how he relates his lessons from martial arts into investment theories. This brilliant combination gives the blog a new insight, keeping it interesting and amusing on every single post.

Written with very deep economic understanding, they try to be simple and straight-forward on their statements, most of the time very mind-opening. After reading the real business behind McDonalds, or the relationship between Navy Seals and investing, I became addict to their posts.

They write a weekly e-zine with lots of contents that are not going to be online. If you are interested in investments and finance in general, I would recommend you to subscribe to them.

I would like to give you a small excerpt of his “What if Buddha invested?“:

If Buddha Searched for a Financial Consultant

The Dalai Lama says, “If you want to be wisely selfish, care for others.” In martial arts, my first instructor, Sensei Dukes, told me that he could teach me to lose all fear, even fear of dying.

He told me that all fear was rooted in ego, and that if you learn to let go of ego, all fear disappears. In relationships, all jealousy originates from ego. On the other hand, happiness originates out of selflessness.

…

Have a wonderful day,

Fer
